Twins - how early did you deliver/ when did you stop working?

[cake1987]

Hiya,
I'm pregnant with twins and had laser surgery just over a week ago due to their TTTS. I've heard that preterm delivery is quite common after laser surgery and would love to hear from anyone on how early their babes came! I really want to start planning, and figure out when I'll stop working but not sure what to do?
Thanks!

I went on annual leave at 29 weeks and it was about right. Sounds early but I was huge and exhausted. I was lucky that I had saved enough leave to not need to use mat leave until 36 weeks which is when mine were delivered by ELCS.

Thanks @Louisa4987 that's when I'm thinking of going on leave too. That's a v impressive amount of leave you'd saved up! I've saved up a couple of weeks. Part of me thinks I should keep on working for as close to 36 weeks as I can, but the other half wants to give myself a bit of a rest in case the twins come early.

I got all the way to term, finished work on Friday and had ELCS on Monday but would not necessarily recommend! Twins are brilliant btw.

I think I finished at 34 weeks i and holiday booked however I had them ad 36+4 so my mat leave started on their birthday!

However....I COULD barely walk at that point. Just got in flopped at my desk and barked from there! Lol

@villainousbroodmare wow that's impressive! @Letsgetbizzy luckily I'm working from home so could definitely do some barking from my desk!

I had non id twins worked till 29 weeks and induced at 38+1 when I was the size of a small planet

My sister had twins in November. she went on mat leave at 30 weeks but had a few weeks annual leave to take also, babies born at 34+6 normal spontaneous delivery. She had gone in for a grown scan and started getting pains but no one believed she was in labour until she was 10cm!
