Methodology: n observational cross-sectional study was conducted in Maternity hospitals and children in Baghdad for ten months starting from the January 2018 to October 2018. The sample size was 100 cases and none probability convenient sampling technique were used to collect the sampling. After finishing collection, the data was coded and entered to STATA version 13.0 for cleaning and analysis. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression was used to find the main features of the data. Results: Out of 100 participants, the mean of age was 30.4 and SD (.6986647) with 95% CI (29.0437-31.8163), 74% (74/100) were educated, 65% (65/100) were housewives and 49% (49/100) had a family history of twin pregnancy. As a complication of pregnancy 18% (18/100) hada preterm labor and cord entanglement. 65/100 (65%) had a pain during pregnancy, A multiple regression was run to predict any type of delivery was preferred by the women from the variable of age, education and it's a statistical significant predicted type of delivery, F (4, 95) = 11.37, p <.0005, R2 = 0.3769. Conclusions: preterm labor, cord entanglement and low birth weight are the main complications among women in twin pregnancy. In-addition, there is a statistical significant have been found between the age, education and family history with the types of delivery at the p. value < 0.05.
