Safe?

At what point are you considered safe? I know with a single baby it's at the end of the first trimester. Does that still hold true with multiples?

There isn't really a specific time...  Anything could happen.  Twin pregnancy have a higher likelihood of being high risk than that of a singleton.  Sorry

I agree, when they are in the world! I felt assured though after a great NT scan that it was all fine on their end.

Even with a singleton you are not totally safe after the first tri. It's just that the risk of m/c goes down. Same with a twin pregnancy but the overall risks are still higher. GL hon!

I'm just in my third. 

Twin pgs are never really safe.

I don't mean to make you sad, but the only truly safe point is when they're in your arms. 

Truth.

Mine are 11 months old and I still don't feel safe....mainly for the stuff in my apt as they break everything.

 Seriously though...try not to stress too much about it.  All extra stress you put on yourself affects your pregnancy.  Enjoy it!

I think there is no right answer to this.  My MFM practice will do everything in their power to keep the babies alive after 24 weeks.  They jump to a 90% survival rate at 28w.  The practice no longer tries to stop labor at 34 weeks.  They'd like to see everyone hit 36 weeks.  And they consider 38 weeks the end and will induce/c-section.  So... I consider 34/36 safe based on all of that.

Post 32 weeks. The doctors would do their best to stop contractions until one reaches 34 weeks and after 34 weeks they wouldn't stop them. Babies born after 32 weeks do absolutely fine. These were my doctor's words. So anytime after 32 weeks is considered safe.

If you just mean m/c rate dropping like at the end of the singleton first tri then it's about the same. I was worried about m/c one baby, my dr said after 10 weeks you have an 80% chance that they both make it, after 12 weeks it's higher. I didn't bother to verify that with any other source because it made me feel better.

Yes you have a high risk pg and things can go wrong anytime, statistically you're higher risk with mulitiples but you still have a higher chance of having healthy babies then not.
