When this was subjected to statistical analysis, the difference between the multiple pregnancy group birth weights and the control was statistically significant. The Apgar scores of all the babies were taken at five minutes. The Apgar score for the control was 7.52. The complications during labor and in the postpartum period are presented in Table 7.
