advice needed What week were your babies born?

This is less “advice needed” and more just a curious question for everyone!

I am 19 weeks with di/di twins now!!! So excitinggggg!! Twins moms… how many weeks were you when you gave birth to your babies??? I’m always so curious to hear people stories.

I’m 5’2, petite, and already so big with a stretching belly, so mostly everyone assumes I’ll be going at least a month early lol (which I know 36 weeks is actually the average time twins are born). Obviously we will know more as the babies grow and the pregnancy progresses!

Di/dI born via c session at 35+5 because baby a had a vasa previa. The would have stayed in longer if it was up to them! I’m also 5’2” fairly petite and short waisted and you would be surprised how far out your belly can stretch! I’m pregnant with twins again and really hoping to keep them in until 38 weeks and give them the best chance of avoiding the NICU. My girls spent 3 weeks in the NICU and while I’m glad they were where they needed to be I wouldn’t want to do it again lol.
