Consultant told me you won't go past 37 weeks, just wondering how many people actually get to 37 weeks with twins?

I declined offers of induction until 39+1. By then, I was 4cm dilated and they just broke my waters.

In the last couple of weeks I slept a lot and was huge, but felt ok and walked a mile to hospital every day or two to try to get things moving.

I was convinced they'd be early but in the end it was only by 10 days! I was the size of a bus! They were both breech but I had a normal delivery and neither needed any special care.

I'm 29.5 now. Both growing well showing 2.15lbs and 2.6lbs at 28 week scan.
Girl head down and boy breech - sitting on her head 🙄
Hoping hospital will discuss something at 32 week appointment, I'm getting nervous now!!

Mine were born at 39 +5!

One was just under 6lb and the other just under 7lb - I was MASSIVE!

37+6 with non-ID boys. 7lbs5 and 6lbs4!! EMCS.

Wow that's big for 37 weeks.
My last baby was 10.3 at 41.3 - hoping the twins are a good size but not hoping for more 10lbers 😂

37 weeks - induced. Could have gone longer (and wish I had!)

Mine were born at 37 weeks by planned section as they were both breech.
They weighed 6lb 2 and 7lb 7. Yes, I was VERY uncomfortable!

Very similar to yours doodle!
