how many weeks . . .
....were you when you delivered your twins? im having non-id twins n just wondered how far gone were most of you when you delivered yours and was it naturally or c-section? and does it differ if your having non-id and id twins? and did eveything go ok during birth? and were your babies in intensive care for any length of time? sorry for the millions of questions i think these are the only things on my mind, i dont think about how im going to cope just want them to come out healthy really and a reasonable weight if possible i wouldnt mind delivering at 37 weeks not sure whether this is wishfull thinkin but then i know they should both be ok x

Non-id tend to go longer and some hospitals are happy to let you go to term, i know of a few girls that had there non-ids at 40 weeks and both weighing over 7lb.
I had my id twins at 35 weeks exactly (4lb15oz and 6lb 8oz!) spent 2 weeks in hospital but that cld have been shorter if id ff but they werent happy with their weight gain as i was bfeeding, but i knew and they were fine lol they were in NICU for 3 days but that was because of Jaundice and being unable to keep their temperatures up.
They were tube fed and that is something you do need to be aware of as even twins born at 36+ weeks sometimes need to be tube fed as they develop slower than singletons. i thought it would be awful but was fine in the end.
I had a em sec, due to pre eclampsia in labour and now looks like my body cant give birth naturally. If you had a normal labour with your son then id recommend trying with the twins as it saves so many complications.
think thats it any more questions ask away

I had my twins at 32+3 by elective c-section. The delivery was fine, no problems or complications, They weighed 2lb10 and 4lb2 and were in SCBU for 5 weeks. They are now 12 weeks (4 corrected) and weigh 7lb5 and 11lb xx
I'm glad I went as far as I did (even though I was moaning about it!) because the girls weren't classed as prem (under 37 was considered prem in our hospital) and they were able to go home sooner (even though I spent 10 days inside!).
