Objective: To determine the behavior of multiple pregnancies in our province and its main perinatal indicators. Method: A descriptive observational study from January to December 2006 was conducted at "Ana Betancourt de Mora" Provincial Educational Gynecobstetric Hospital. The universe was constituted by 66 women carriers of multiple gestations; data were collected from the morbidity book of expectant mother wards, of the medical histories and grouped in a form and processed by means of descriptive statistics and distribution of frequency. Results: Pregnant women with white race and ages among 20-34 years predominated; the most frequent associated diseases were the vaginal infection and the anemia. The cephalic-cephalic presentation was the most frequent one, the dystocic labors predominated. As maternal morbidity the anemia predominated and in newborns the prematurity; there was 13 fetal deaths and no maternal neither neonatal deaths were registered. Conclusions: The maternal morbidity rate was low, the anemia was the one most presented and regarding to morbi- perinatal mortality the low weight was pointed out in its two components (preterm and intrauterine growth retarded).
