Hi Helen,

I was told that about 50% of twins arrive before 37 weeks and 80% arrive by 38 weeks. I presume they will be scheduling your c-section for about 37 weeks?

Given that you have had healthy sized babies previously, I would say you can probably expect healthy sized twins (if they go to full term - that is 37 weeks).

Mine were born at 37 weeks 4 days and they weighed 3020g (6lb10oz) and 2900g (6lb7oz) which is apparently about average weight for 37 weeks gestation for a single baby. My DD was born at 40 weeks and weighed 3.6kg.

Good luck with your pregnancy. Twin pregnancy is a rollercoaster so get ready to hold on tight!
