Both water births and fairly straight forward…was glad that DS did not go to term though as midwife estimated at 12 pounder if he had…

5'3

DD1 40+1 8lbs 7.5oz and 57cm long
DD2 39+4 8lbs 3.5oz and 54cm long

I was terrified that Dd2 was going to be bigger as I'm small and was considerably smaller back then by a couple of stones, but as you can see she wasn't. She did have a bigger head, which I am told is the worst bit but it was a much much easier birth Smile.

TwinMama30 · 20/12/2015 21:48

I'm 5'10" and my partner is 6'8".

Twins girls born at 30+5 weighing 3lb9oz and 3lb5oz. They are little but very long, unsurprisingly!
