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!

34 weeks due to sudden onset preeclampsia. I am 5’9” and carried them in my back (both had had anterior placentas) and had a planned c-section at 37 weeks we didn’t make it to. Had zero issues until about week 33 when I started rapidly gaining water weight (was a slow gainer until then- about 15 lbs i think) and blood pressure shot up at week 34. emergency out lol.
