    I had my twins at 34+1. Shay was born forst weighing 6lb 3oz and spent 4 days in n/natal with wet lungs and his weight dropped to 5lb 6oz.. Izzy was born weighing 5lb 1oz and dropped to 4lb 12oz, both were tube fed for around 1 week. Izzy didnt need any special care and we had 13 days in hospital with them in total.

    They are both doing extremly well now, at 17 wks Shay weighs 13lb 3oz and Izzy 10lb 3oz.

    33 weeks and 3 days and were 4lb and 4lb6oz. They were in hosp for 4 weeks but thats cos Ry got a cold (in scbu????) and Sophs went purple when she was feeding (got fed on her side for a month after she came home then was fine). Now they are nearly 23 months and are happy and healthy so dont worry they will be ok.

    I had my non id twin boys at 31wks + 5. Oliver the eldest weighed 3lb 8oz & Joshua weighed 3lb 10oz, very good weights for twin babies born at 31wks. They spent 39 days in SCBU, progress was always good & they were never seriously ill. Boys are almost 10mths now & although they are not doing what a 10mth old should they are progressing well .

    Try not to worry about going into prem labour, I know a few people that have had there twins early & all has been ok

    Hi,i had my identical twin girls at 31+6 last year, one of my girls who was 4lbs spent first week in icu then remainder in scbu and came home around 4 wks after she was born, and my other girl was born weighing 2lbs and stayed in icu for around 4 wks and then in scbu for 2 wks so came home after 6 wks, both are 17months old now and are absolutly fine,   try not to worry, babies are amazing little fighters and as doctors said to me once you reach the 32 wks mark they are generally born without problems hth xxx

    Hi. I know how worried you must be. I was the same. I had my idential boys at 33 weeks. They were 3lb 10oz and 3lb 9oz. Both have done brilliantly. They were in Special Care for just over 3 weeks. Oliver had a little bit of oxygen for a few days. Mitchell was fine. They are both very healthy and are now 8 weeks. They weigh 8lb 7 and 8lb 4. Please dont worry about them, I am sure they will be fine now. Best of luck with everything
