Abstract

A triplet pregnancy is described in which there was a second trimester abortion of one fetus at 16 weeks' gestation. A cervical cerclage was placed, and tocolysis was used. The other two triplets were delivered 131 days later (at 35 weeks' gestation) by cesarean section. Both infants survived. This case is unique in the literature.
