Twins at 39 weeks!?

Question

Is this even safe? I went in for my 37 week appointment today and my doctor said she'll put the order in and she said it is usually done for 39 weeks?!? I thought there was a huge risk of complication after a certain amount of weeks?

Answer

I had my c section at 38 weeks 🤷🏽‍♀️ i imagine you’re totally healthy and doctor doesn’t think going further would be a problem for you or babies. Good luck!

Answer

What type of twins are you having? I think that for di/di twins, 38 weeks is accepted as being the latest you should have them, and many doctors prefer around 37 weeks. For other types of twins, you should definitely be having them before 38 weeks. The risks go up a lot after 38 weeks apparently.

Answer

My induction date is scheduled for 38w5d. I’m not really happy about it but I trust my doctors.
