Brief Summary

this study is to investigate the response of pulmonary function to deep breathing exercise in twin pregnancy

Conditions

Pregnancy Related

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• forced vital capacity (FVC)

  inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume+ expiratory reserve volume

  FVC will be applied at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation (3 months)

• Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Sec (FEV1)

  Pulmonary Function Tests: (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Sec)

  FEV1 will be applied at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation (3 months)

• FEV1/FVC

  ratio between Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Sec (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)

  FEV1/FVC will be applied at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation (3 months)

Study Arms (2)

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

30 women with twin pregnancy during the third trimester at 27th weeks gestation will make deep breathing exercise inform of diaphragmatic and costal breathing 3times a day for 15 repetitions each exercise for 9 weeks, pulmonary function test will be applied at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation.

Other: deep breathing exercise inform of diaphragmatic and costal breathing

control group

NO INTERVENTION

30 women with twin pregnancy during the third trimester at 27th weeks gestation will not receive any special treatment and will be assessed with pulmonary function test at 27th week gestation and at 36th weeks gestation.
