The Apgar scores of both newborns were 10/10/10; the umbilical arterial pH of twin A was 7.262 and that of twin B was 7.368. Fig. 1b shows the placenta with 2 amniotic sacs, the centrally inserted umbilical cord of twin A, and the velamentously inserted umbilical cord of twin B, with 1 umbilical artery passing the edge of the amniotic sac of twin A.In the present case, the presence of vasa previa was demonstrated by digitally compressing the umbilical cord with consequent reflex bradycardia. This umbilical artery belonged to twin B, while the presenting part was the head of twin A.
The kidney transplantation is considered to be the best therapy for terminal kidney disease, nowadays. Numerous studies have shown that pregnancy may be successful and may result in a delivery of a healthy baby after the kidney transplantation. Pregnant women who are the recipients of a kidney transplant have increased chances of developing hypertension, preeclampsia, as well as going into premature labour and frequently giving birth to newborns of low birth weight. We present a case of a successful pregnancy and delivery in a 32-year-old kidney transplant recipient who conceived spontaneously four years posttransplantation. The kidney transplantation has been done due to the chronic hypertension and the consequential kidney atrophy. During the pregnancy, the patient underwent antihypertension and immunosupressive drugs therapy. She was also being monitored by the gynaecologist and the nephrologist. The pregnancy was terminated in the 40th week by an urgent Caesarean section due to the fetal bradycardia. The patient gave birth to the healthy baby girl.
