    Hi Viksha

    even i am worried on this...

    but my cousin delivered twins at 30 weeks, both were in NICU for some time

    touch wood, both babies milestones are on time and maybe ahead in some respects as compared to kids born at 38-40 weeks gestation

    Hi viiksha and ssm014,

    Don't worry too much. Everything will happen in a good manner. I delivered my twin daughters in the first day of 38th week. They were of weight 2.8 and 2.75 kgs. A reasonable weight. I didn't do much physical work. Infact i resigned my job, the day my pregnancy was confirmed.

    Don't take too much physical strain, eat well, sleep well and stay positive. don't worry too much. BP also plays a major role. In my SIL's case she had high BP and delivered pre-term. Try to be cool and calm. discuss with your doc. regarding the physical work. For me my doc. told me to drag until 32 weeks without any complications. Other precautions i took and restricted myself from many things.


    all the best

    shara

    sorry ssm014, i really can't answer your question on movements. Even i was very tensed about the movements. I used to feel both the sides, but the doc. will say, you may not know the same baby will give the movements on both the sides. so don't worry, everything will be fine. If you really feel tensed, you go and see the doc. need not wait for the scan, generally they will check with stethoscope itself.

    shara

    Hey SSM,
    36 weeks is considered full term for twin babies. By that time the babies can survive without medical support, but with mom! ;-)
