I just found out I'm expecting twins, and I'm overjoyed but also a bit overwhelmed! I was curious to know, on average, how many weeks does a twin pregnancy usually last before delivery? Any mummies out there who've experienced it?
Haha as a twin mom I can tell you they rarely wait till 40 weeks! Usually most twin pregnancies last about 36 to 37 weeks. My doctor delivered mine at exactly 36 weeks and they were perfectly healthy, though super tiny.
Twin pregnancies almost never go full term till 40 weeks like single babies. Doctors generally aim for 37 weeks because after that the space gets really tight. Just keep your hospital bag ready by 32 weeks, you never know when they decide to arrive.
Hello dear, generally a twin pregnancy is considered full term around 37 weeks. Many times babies come a bit early around 35-36 weeks too, which is very common. Just stay in regular touch with your doctor and keep resting as much as possible.
Oh those twin journey memories! It is so beautiful but honestly exhausting, most moms deliver around 36 or 37 weeks. Just cherish these last few weeks of carrying them inside you, you are doing an amazing job mama.
I can only tell you about my own experience, my twins were delivered at 37 weeks via scheduled C-section. My gynac said that is the standard timing for twins to keep both babies safe. Every pregnancy is different so your doc will guide you on the exact week.
I agree with others, 36 to 37 weeks is the typical duration for twins. Keep your doctor's emergency number handy just in case they decide to come early.
Twin deliveries usually happen around 36 or 37 weeks, and yes, normal delivery is totally possible if the first baby's head is down! Mine was a beautiful experience at 37 weeks. Stay positive and keep doing your light walks if your doctor allows it.
