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.]]> Fri, 08 May 2009 19:41:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=681681&title=twin-births#681681 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=681401&title=twin-births#681401 Author: Maya

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!!!

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.]]> Fri, 08 May 2009 12:48:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=681238&title=twin-births#681238 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680968&title=twin-births#680968 Author: lisa85

My sister was 38 weeks planned c/section with frat twins.

Obviously though with mono/di twins you've got the high risks of TTTS. Theres a few ladies on OB that had mono/di arrive much earlier than expected.]]> Fri, 08 May 2009 09:16:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680968&title=twin-births#680968 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680962&title=twin-births#680962 Author: minik8e

Hrmmm, you're all a lot further along than what I expected!!!

37 weeks by planned c/section. Presenting twin Esme was breech they are the same as Emmas girls they are Mono/Di (identical). I was told by the specialist that if they are planning a c/section for mono/di twins they don't plan it for anything over 37 weeks.]]> Fri, 08 May 2009 08:28:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680918&title=twin-births#680918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680535&title=twin-births#680535 Author: Maya

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.]]> Thu, 07 May 2009 17:18:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680535&title=twin-births#680535 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680283&title=twin-births#680283 Author: linda

37.5 days with fraternal twins, born naturally. I always laugh when I say they were born naturally, I mean they were but I had a lot of drugs to help with the pain which is not so natural!

36 weeks 5 days, they are the same type of twins as yours (mono/di). They generally like to induce around 37-38 weeks with mono/di twins as the placenta starts to deteriorate after that.

And they were both born vaginally 3 minutes apart.]]> Thu, 07 May 2009 12:39:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680228&title=twin-births#680228 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26376&PID=680151&title=twin-births#680151 Author: minik8e

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?
