Twin Births

This is mainly for my own curiosity and I wanted to catch the eye of any twin mums who don't post in the twin mums thread (if there are any)....

Can you tell me how far along you were when your bubs were born, and were they identical or fraternal?

35weeks , ferternal twins I went in to labour naturally and had them in 3hrs and they were 7min apart

LOL Linda, that's why I always say vaginally, not naturally. There was nothing natural about the gremlins delivery, there were a dozen people there, I was induced and had an epi.

Hrmmm, you're all a lot further along than what I expected!!! I'm just trying to get my head around things....I haven't had any real problems so far except both girls having enlarged kidneys at the 20w scan, which I have a follow-up scan for in a few weeks.

My OB told me the girls would be born between 32-36 weeks, even he was surprised when they stayed in so long (we were induced coz I was soooo over it!), they would probably have lasted another few days if we'd left them alone but I was 4cm dilated at induction so it wouldn't have been much longer before I went into labour.

My OB has suggested 32 weeks might be about right to plan for.....I honestly don't know how I would get around if I were any later and they keep growing like they are!!! I already have trouble getting up and putting my socks on...!!!!

lol kate, i know that feeling! i couldn't even move in bed and had to yell to DP to come turn me.

The OB at the first hospital I was at said that anytime from 32 weeks also. Wish now the boys had been able to make it that long.

I was 35w and 2d.   Natural delivery/no drugs. Boy/girl fraternal twins. Two hours between each!!!! They are 3 weeks old and life is VERY busy.
