I had an appointment today.....and will be 20 weeks tomorrow.....

My dr. told me I was measuring (that is my uterus), one month ahead of where I am. She said the babies sill had the same due date and were both 10oz and 11 oz.  How far ahead can you be and NOT change your EDD?  She mentioned they were the same size as a singleton at this stage of development as well.  

Lots to think about an it left me wondering....

Just curious if anyone had any insight into this?

    @ashb62 nailed it. The size of your uterus has no bearing on your due date. Carrying multiples, since you've got a lot going on in there, you will always measure ahead of your gestational age but the due date never changes.

    A & K, married 7/1/13.

    After 10 months of ttc via medicated IUIs and two early losses, we finally got our boys- Perfect premie twins born 5/27/14.

    Exactly what @AshB62 said. My babies are both measuring the same as singletons (A was 4 lbs and B was 3 lbs. 7 oz. at my 30 week u/s) and I was measuring 40 weeks at 29 weeks. With twins you always look much farther along b/c two babies are in there. As long as both babies are on track with the EDD you're fine. Also, remember most twins come quite a bit before your EDD. I'll be induced at 37 weeks, for example, if they don't come earlier.

    Thanks everyone!   :)  My due date is still October 7th but my OBGYN said she usually takes them at 38 weeks if I don't go into labor sooner.
