ultratomato · October 2016

so my OB told me yesterday I can't go beyond 38 weeks. I'm currently 28 weeks and im measuring 31 weeks. I just wonder how long all you ladies went. Thanks

I was 34 week and 1 day when I gave birth to my Identical twins... my planned c-section was at 36 weeks.

Thanks ladies

@ultratomato yes its different. My husbands best friends wife was pregnant with fraternal twins @ the same time i was and she gave birth @ 38 weeks. Its riskier with identical deom2 what doctors have told me.

Fraternal twins, we were told 38 weeks was the golden timeframe. Unfortunately, I developed pretty eclampsia and delivered at 35w5d and they were in the nicu for 2 weeks. A lot can go crazy with any pregnancy, so I always suggest making sure the hospital you're set to deliver at, has a great nicu just in case.

My MFM said 38 weeks would be our cut off because survival rate in twins decreases after 38weeks. We made it to 37+2 and then had a C-section because they were getting so big (measured 7lbs14oz and 7lbs10oz on ultrasound, though in reality were a pound lighter each)

Di-Di boys, PPROM at 33+3, two weeks in NICU to feed and grow (5lb 11oz & 4lb 9oz).

My twins are fraternal. Babies 3 & 4 - repeat C-section 3. I delivered as scheduled at 38+6. I really didn't think I would make it that far but I don't think they would have ever made an appearance on their own!

Induced at 37 weeks with mono di girls

I had didi twins at exactly 35 weeks. I felt great and wanted to keep them in, but I developed sudden severe preeclampsia. The boys were in the Nicu for 10 hours and went home with us once I was released (5 days after giving birth).

I have fraternal twins b/g and needed a repeat c-section. For Singletons our hospital does csections at 39 and twins 38. I delivered by scheduled csection at 38+6 Our doctor just didn't want me to go into labor on my own.
