IVF (BCPs starting 10/30/12, ER 11/18/12, 5dt of 1 beautiful, healthy embryo 11/23/12)
BFP 12/02/12, u/s @ 6w,5d showed 2 HBs! Identical twins!!
Bed rest from 21w-35w due to short cervix, hospital bed rest from 23w-32w due to PTL
Our rainbows were born 07/19/13 (36w, 5d)
Induced at 37w exactly. They would not let me go longer. Both born vaginally. I'm really glad they didn't let me go longer bc A had the cord wrapped around his neck and B was 20% bigger, which is the max they want. Neither of these things was caught during any of my many many NSTs or growth scans.
My boys were mo/di and were delivered at 38 weeks 1 day by c/s. I wasn't supposed to go past 37 weeks but my doctor was on vacation and everything was going good so we went the extra week. My boys were 6 lbs 3 oz and 6 lbs 6 oz.
I had mo/di boys at 35 weeks 4 days. They were delivered via C/S b/c of a growth discordance of more than 20% (would have been induced but Baby B was breech and the on-call doc wasn't comfortable with a version or breech extraction).
Re: How many weeks with Mo / Di Twins?
If my water hadn't broken, I wouldn't have gone past 37w due to mild pre-e.
