Viability Day for Twins

Anyone know if 'V Day' for multiples is the same?

A girl from my law school gave birth yesterday to twins @ 27 weeks & I'm nervous for her...

Viability day is the same know matter how many babies but they like to keep them in for as long as possiable because they tend to be smaller.  27 weeks is a little early I hope everything is ok.

My friend gave birth to her twins at 24 weeks.. and they are perfectly healthy 4 year olds now (5 in August)! ?

T&P are with her

Sorry I don't know the technical V date for twins... but wanted to share my friend's success story ?

There is no exact day for any baby.  We used to say 24 weeks but even that boundary has been extended down into 23 weeks.  The limit seems to be above 500 grams - even that is not an absolute.  All babies are different, and unfortunately only time will tell.

Good luck to her and her babies.

Agreed. 23 weeks is the absolute minimum gestational age for viability. 27 weekers are *usually* pretty good, & twins typically mature a bit faster. That's not to say they won't have their share of challenges during their NICU stay, that's for sure! Prayers for mommy & babies.
