My BP was getting elevated at almost 36 weeks, so we would have scheduled an induction at 37w, but I went into labor and had them at 35w 6d. If I didn't have the high BP it would have been scheduled at 38 weeks.
My dr said the same... I delivered 36 w 1 d- they were big! If I waited they would have been 8 and 9 pounders! Hopefully you don't develop any issues- it's so early to predict.
My OB said no later than 38 weeks. My csection was scheduled for 37w5d but my baby girl had other plans and my water broke and I went into labor a few days early. I delivered at 37w2d. Amelia was 7lbs 12 oz. 20.5" and Owen was 6lbs 5 oz. 19.5".

I would have been induced @ 38 wks (if healthy), but I got sick with cholestasis and HELLP syndrome. My OB wanted to me induce, but I was already in labor! The babies came after midnight, so I was 36weeks & 1 day.

37 weeks is a great goal, but expect the unexpected in a multiples pregnancy. Average is around 35-36 weeks. Mine had to be delivered at 28 weeks because of TTTS causing reverse end diastolic cord flow and IUGR of the donor baby.
33w4d due to a ruptured sac. I was scheduled to be induced at 34w1d because of the high risk of infection from the rupture, but went into labor on my own at 33w3d.
I think my OB told me in the first appointment after the revealing u/s that he does not allow multiple pregnancies to go beyond 38 weeks, even in a non-complication pregnancy.
He predicted due to my PTL history that I wouldn't make it that far.
Preterm labor started around 26 weeks and to make a really long story short I made it to 34w5days.
Re: How many weeks where you when you delivered?
I was 2 days shy of 37 weeks and delivered due to elevated bp.

My c-section was scheduled for 37w1d. DS decided 35w5d was a better answer.

GSx1 - 05/13/2013
GSx2 for T&B - EDD 6/21/2015 - They're having a GIRL!
My water broke at 36 weeks exactly so that's when they were born.
Doc would have let me go until 38 weeks if possible.
