Summary: Plasma oestradiol 17β, plasma oestriol and plasma progesterone were estimated in 10 twin pregnancies from 30 to 40 weeks. Plasma oestradiol and plasma oestriol rose gradually, reaching their highest levels around 36 weeks. Plasma progesterone levels were very high and showed little variation in the last 10 weeks of gestation. Plasma seroids were twice levels described for singleton pregnancies.
