So we had another ultrasound today. The twins are 34 weeks and 1 day along and doing great. Baby A was estimated to be 34 weeks and 5 days (so 4 days ahead of average estimates) and 5 lbs, 3 oz. Baby B was estimated to be 36 weeks (13 days ahead of average) and 6 lbs! Wow! Now we know that the estimated weights based on ultrasounds can be up to 20% off, but we still know that even if they are 20% high, that they'll be comfortably over 4 lbs. Their heart rate is stable and healthy so they are likely to be healthy when born. At this point, the neonatologist said that if there are any additional contractions, that they will just be prepared to deliver the babies as they are pretty close to average gestation for twins. He said that twins deliver on average about 34-35 weeks, so we're right on. Any day now...
Stay tuned...same bat time, same bat channel...
