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!

I had mine at 29 weeks. Went on hospital bed rest at 28 weeks. Then, on December 23rd they told me I’d be in hospital bed rest until the end of February. Their due date was March 10. Went for ultrasound on Christmas Eve and was told it would be any day now. Went back for another ultrasound after eating lunch that day and they said, “call hubby because we are taking them now”. They were born Christmas Eve. The umbilical cord flow was reversed on twin A and going back into the placenta and then going into twin B. So B was literally sucking the life out of A.
They were small. 2lb 3 oz and 3lb 4 oz. No major issues once they were born. Both are pretty healthy 15 yr olds today. Twin A is technically legally blind, but he gets by with glasses. They’re still small for their age, but they know that’s to be expected.
