Due date

My obgyn gave me a due date of Jan 18th but I’m realizing twins come 36-37 weeks bc anything further risks the chance of giving birth. With that being said do I start expecting them December? I’ll be 19 weeks tmrw.

Definitely best to plan for them to come earlier!!! Doesn’t hurt to be ready. That’s what we’re planning for, due November 20th but expecting them much sooner

Hey, congratulations! And yes I would say to prepare for them to come in December, my due date for my twins were 14th September but I had them 7th August ( elective c- section) as one twin was smaller than the other.

If they don’t tell you anything soon about you having them earlier then you should be fine. Just prepare just in case, babies come whenever they want xx

I was given a due date of January 10th and I just had a gut feeling I was going to deliver early. I didn’t have twins but he came December 30th. Listen to your gut! Either way it doesn’t hurt to be prepared early.

Heyy, I’d say it definitely depends on the type of twins but yes expect them earlier! I had DCDA twins and carried until 37+5 but had everything prepared by 32 weeks just in case x

I’d pack a bag from 28 weeks as then it’s done. Don’t be like me, packing the bag whilst heading out the door when waters broke at 33 weeks

It’s honestly just depends. I’m currently just a few days from being 38 weeks with twins so they want to induce me 🤷‍♀️

Yes definitely prepare for them to be early. As we have MCDA twins, we’ve been told that if there are complications such as TTTS, they may decide to get them out as early as 24 weeks however, statistically 34weeks is most common (in Australia). I’ll likely pack a bag around 28 as a safe guard.
