Guide for use: | Plurality of a pregnancy is determined by the number of live births or by the number of fetuses that remain in utero at 20 weeks gestation and that are subsequently born separately. In multiple pregnancies, or if gestational age is unknown, only live births of any birthweight or gestational age, or fetuses weighing 400 g or more, are taken into account in determining plurality. Fetuses aborted before 20 completed weeks or fetuses compressed in the placenta at 20 or more weeks are excluded. |

Plurality of pregnancy is determined by the number of babies that are in scope for the Perinatal NMDS (i.e. births of at least 20 weeks gestation or at least 400g birth weight). In the case of multiple pregnancies, if one or more fetuses were removed from the uterus before 20 weeks gestation, for example, by abortion (spontaneous, induced or fetal reduction) they are not considered in determining the birth plurality. For example, in a twin pregnancy, where one twin is aborted before 20 weeks gestation and the remaining twin is born and is in scope for the Perinatal NMDS, plurality is coded as ‘1 Singleton’. If both twins are born at 20 weeks gestation or more, plurality is coded as ‘2 Twins’. This item is collected for the mother only.
