Biparietal diameter growth differs considerably in the twin gestation compared to the singleton gestation; thus the use of a specific standard is recommended. A shift toward lower values is noticed in monochorial twins. In the case of the abdominal diameter growth, instead, no significant difference is found between twins and singletons.
