It is true that twin pregnancy's usually dont last as long, but it is perfectly normal for it to go the normal 40 weeks.
What do you think? Answer below!
i think with twins they want you to at least make it to 37 weeks before delivering, c-section wise, but if you can go more than that it isnt abnormal. i had twins last year at 37 weeks, but i had to have a c-section.
Not exactly. With twins an early delivery is expected but its not desirable. It’s actually a good thing if she makes it to term (40 weeks) with twins.
no, it’s not wrong. the doctor estimates… because of the extra weight etc… that a twin pregnancy is somewhat shorter than a single pregnancy… HOWEVER, let the babies bake as long as they want. the longer they hang out in there the healthier they will be! it’s not unsafe in any way for a pregnancy to go up to 42 weeks EVEN WITH TWINS. the doctor will tell you if he thinks he needs to induce labor!
for twins the docs want you to atleast make it to the 37 week mark but you can go the full 40 weeks… but i went into labor at 34 weeks 6 days with my daughter and it was just her no others so it really just depends on when the the babies want o come out!
