How far along were you when your twins arrived?

[JuliaGulia]

Hi,

I'm 35 weeks with b/g twins and starting to feel a bit fed up.

My consultant is planning a natural birth as both are head down and has said I'll be induced in the 38th or 39th week if nothing happens naturally by then.

But I'm really hoping the 37 average I keep reading everywhere is acurate.

I've heard some mums deliver at 32 weeks and others at 40 so perhaps that's why the average is 37 and I'm just destined for the long haul.

Would be good to hear your thoughts and experiences.

35+6 with my boy/girl twins (now 9 months). Natural birth - very quick. Good luck with it all

34 weeks emcs after getting to 10cms and twin 1 getting stuck behind my wonky cervix (gosh doesn't that make me sound wonderful!!!!! )

Good luck, but remember they really are better in there at the moment! (and now I sound patronising...sorry...)

38 week's, induced, think if it hadn't been so hot I would have resisted induction longer

Had a quick natural birth of 2 half hours.
Have you been swimming? I went nearly every day towards the end, I didn't actually swim, just stood in the pool and enjoyed the feeling of weightlessness

Good luck!

I was induced at 38 weeks for a natural delivery. Try to rest, swimming is a great idea as Largeglassofred says. I also enjoyed being on all fours in the lounge instead of sitting Anything to take the weight off you really. I know its nucomfortable and frustrating but honestly when they arrive you will be very busy so enjoy this peace while you still can!

'uncomfortable' sorry.
Separating two fighting DTs while I type!!

c-section at 38 weeks with first set due to transverse/breech lie.

2nd set was c-section at 40 weeks as no sign of labour starting and wasn't allowed to be induced.

Good Luck!

my lovely SIL was induced at 40 weeks and the boys were eight and a half pounds each, she is tiny!!

38+6, and then they didn't want to come out! Had to be induced They were 6 lb 10 and 5 lb 12

I was 39+3, held out on being induced 3 times and was due to be induced 4 days later. And it was worth it, I've had a section, did not want to have another and chances go up if you're induced. They'll be cooking nicely in there! Tis extremely frustrating in the latter weeks, I had spd from 30 weeks and could barely walk by the time I gave birth. My sympathies!

38+1 - planned c-section as both breech. No signs of labour. Just sit on the sofa and eat

induced at 39.5 weeks.....

first set was 28 weeks.

currently 23+5 with second set and not expecting to get beyond 26 weeks

full term for me - went in to be induced and it started all on it's own.
6.6 & 7.5

Geepers...why not? (if you don;t mind me askin...)

poorbuthappy my waters around twin 1 have broken already.

Induced at 38 weeks with ID twins..

36+5 with b/g twins (now just 2). Went into labour naturally and had vaginal birth. DS2 (second born twin) was helped out a bit with ventouse.

Consultant had said that if I hadn't gone into spontaneous labour by 38 weeks he would induce me (at my request).

Good luck! And love your MN name!

Geepers . Lots of love and luck to you.

I was 38+5. Hang on in there, the bigger they get the easier it will be when they are born.

Sorry to hear that geepers.

Induced at 37.5 weeks. Quick easy labour, twin1 born vaginally, twin2 section. 5lb 1.5oz and 5lb 4.5oz.

Hoping all will go well, Geepers.

Just to update my second set of twins arrived yesterday evening at 23 weeks 5 days. They weighed 1lb 3oz and 1lb 5oz.

congratulations geepers, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Congratulations on the birth of your twins Geepers. Hope they and you are doing OK. Thinking of you xx

36+3 ID DTD 5lb and 5lb 10oz spontaneous labour (was booked for induction two days later, scans showed no growth in last 2 weeks) natural delivery 1st head down, 2nd breech all done in five hours (not first though).
