Bartenura
יצא הראשון מת. הולד הראשון יצא מת והולד השני יצא חי:
טהור. השני החי מטומאת מת, אם הוציאו המת מן הבית קודם לידת השני. דבעודו במעי אמו לא נטמא אף על פי שנפתח הקבר, דטהרה בלועה אינה מיטמאה:
הראשון חי והשני מת טמא. ואע״פ שהוציאו החי מן הבית קודם שנולד המת. דמכיון שיצא החי נפתח הקבר ונטמא מיד, דסוף טומאה לצאת:
בשפיר אחד טמא. כלומר אם יצאו שניהם כעין שפיר אחד שיצאו בבת אחת, טמא. שפיר, שליא שהולד נתון בה:
בשני שפירין. כלומר כעין שני שפירין זה אחר זה, אפילו ראשון חי ושני מת, טהור. דסבר ר׳ מאיר אע״פ שנפתח הקבר אין מטמא עד שיצא לאויר העולם. ואין הלכה כר׳ מאיר:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

יצא האשון מת – the first fetus came out dead and the second fetus came out alive.
טהור – the second living [fetus] is [pure] from defilement through contact with a corpse. If they removed the dead [fetus] from the house prior to the second birth, that while it was still in the womb of its mother, it is not defiled, even though the womb was opened, for a pure object that has been swallowed does not defile.
הראשון חי והשני מת טמא – and even though they removed the living [first child] from the house prior to the birth of the dead [second child], for since the live child came out, the womb was opened and became defiled immediately, for the defilement leaves at the en
בשפיר אחד טמא – meaning to say, if both of them came out similar to one membrane (i.e., sack of a fetus), that they came out at the same time, it is impure. שפיר/sack of a fetus is the placenta that the fetus is placed on.
בשני שפירין- meaning to say, similar to two membranes one after the other, even if the first is alive and the second is dead. טהור – for Rabbi Meir holds that even though the womb was opened, it doesn’t defile until it (i.e., the fetus) exists to the airspace of the world. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Meir.
