Hello,
So we a few ob doctors and the question as to how to document a twin or more pregnancies came up. I am not sure if we need a different form or how we would do this. Has anyone found a way to document this?

I've worked with an office that has a "deliveries" form where they store the information for each baby as a separate OBS term. There are plenty of OBS for multiples to choose from. If you don't have a forms person, you can ask around to get the form built for you. We do forms work and there are others on CHUG that may help you as well.

As Angela said, there are a lot of already defined OBS Terms in existence relative to pregnancy (465 when I just did a quick look, although quite possible even more). Off the top of my head, I would think the first to look at: MULTIPGESTAT
That term would be for the current pregnancy; and translates to multiple gestation, current pregnancy. There are also several to record prior history: PREGOUTCOM_ where the _ includes number 1 to 10 to record outcomes for previous pregnancies.
Hope that gets you started.
