Did you make it to 38wks? How early did everyone deliver?

I'm 30 wks now and scheduled for a c-section at 38wks. Just wondering if I will actually make it that far or what the general average is to deliver twins. I'm thinking more like 36 weeks or so... Christmas time!

  • 37 weeks for me. Average is 35 weeks based on some research and 36 based on others. You could definitely make it 38 weeks, lots of women do! GL

  • I made it to my scheduled c/s at 38 weeks 1 day.... They tried to get me to wait until 39 weeks when my regular OB would be on call at the hospital since they had a last minute schedule change, but I said heck no, get these babies outta me!!!
  • i had c section at 36w6d.
  • I was scheduled for a c-section at 38 weeks but went into labor at 36w4d and had a c-sec at that time.

  • I made it to 34w5d. Grace was 4lb13oz and Joy was 4lb9oz.

    I'd been hospitalized for pre term labor since 26 wks for contrax, funneling, and shortening, so that played a huge part in my early delivery.

  • I had an emergency c/s at 37 weeks 2 days due to pre-e.  My doctor would have let me go until 40 weeks! Indifferent

  • I made it to my scheduled c/s at 38w.
  • I had a scheduled c-section at 37w 1d but I think I would have gone a lot longer had they let me.

  • Scheduled c section at 37w3d. I also probably could have gone longer if they had let me.

  • The average is 36w (though I've seen some that says 35w but I've seen 36-36.5 weeks a lot more often) with twins. I delivered 3 hrs shy of 38w but it was a scheduled induction. I definitely could have made it another 3 hours if the induction had started later. ;)

    Good luck to you!

  • 38w2d and could have gone longer (no signs of labor), but had a scheduled csection.  I carried my twins longer than my singleton.

  • Induced at 38 weeks...sent home for a failed induction to avoid a section. Water broke at 38 weeks 6 days and I ended up with a section, anyway. Brett was 6.6 and Emma was 7. I guess they needed the extra week :)

    I was induced at 37w6d.  New Year's Eve babies for me! : )

    I didn't realize our 37w6d twins were almost exactly a year apart. (And if I'm remembering right, they had the same combined birth weight? Mine were 6.7 and 6.10.) Mine were born 1/6/09. :)

  • I had to deliver via c-section at 36w4d due to having cholestasis, otherwise we would have scheduled induction or cs at 38 weeks.

  • Induced at 36w6d due to mild pre-e. Delivered via emergency section at 37w exactly. DD was 6.2 and DS was 5.4. Had I not developed the mild pre-e I could have easily gone another week or 2, I had no signs of labor whatsoever. GL!

  • At 36 weeks, my Dr scheduled me for a C-Section for 38 weeks. My water broke at 37-1/2 weeks. My baby A was 6.4 lbs and baby B was 5.5. Two very healthy babies. Yay for BRYes

     

  • 38 weeks and 2 days for me.  I was certain they'd come sooner - but they probably would have stayed put another few days had we not evicted them.
  • I went into labor and had the girls c/s at 33w4d.  That was way further than anyone thought I'd get, as I'd been on bedrest with funneling cervix for months.
