If you delivered after 37w0d ...

Since my "if you had a vaginal birth how far apart were they born " topic did so well I thought I'd ask another...

If you had your twins at 37w0d or later how much did they weigh at birth and did they have any nicu time?

Although Im a very petite person. We expected my twins to be a full pound (each) heavier than what they were for the gestation at which I delivered and according to our last growth scan.

They were 5#4oz & 4#13oz but lucky for us no nicu time

 

my girls were born at 37w 1d. they were 5lbs 15oz and 5lbs 14oz. No NICU time. They did great.

 

37 w 1 d as well, 6 lbs 3 oz and 5 lbs 10 oz (boy/girl), no NICU time.

 

I had my babies at 39w 2d---my baby girl was 6.7lbs and baby boy was 5.1lbs. No NICU time.

 

39W0D, 6 pounds 9 ounces & 6 pounds 1 ounce (19.75"). They were very, very close to my size at birth and I was a 40-week single. No NICU; Trent spent 10 minutes in the warmer and that was it.

 

My boys were born at 39 weeks, both were 5 pounds 11 ounces, no NICU time, they never left our side. (My other babies have been relatively small also),

 

My twins were born at 37 weeks 5 days. My son was 7 pounds 6 ounces and my daughter was 6 pounds 7 ounces.

 

Our twins were born at 37 weeks 4 days and they were 6 pounds 3 ounces and 5 pounds 11 ounces no nicu either.

 

Our twin boys were born at 37w0d and were 6lb12oz and 5lb10oz. No NICU time

My girls were born at 37 wks, 1 day, and they were 6,13 and 6,9. One had a few hours of NICU time for "wet lungs" (I forget the proper medical term) because she didn't get squeezed on the way out (I had a c/s). She was fine after a couple of hours.

However, DS1 also had this, and he was 41 wks, 2 day and weighed 9 lbs, 8 oz. It was because of the c/s.

 

Ours were born 38 weeks 1 day. Luke weighed 5lbs 14 oz and Sophia was 5 lbs 9 oz. They were born by c/s and did not have time in the NICU. They were concerned because Sophia swallowed a lot of fluid when she came out but the nursery was able to suction a lot of it out and she was fine later in the day.

 

Mine were a day before but great weights. 36w6d 5-15 and 6-6. No NICU time.

 

Hi there,

Great thead! I've often wondered the same thing. Mine were born at 38w 1d. DD was 5# 6oz. and DS was 4# 10oz.....small! They were very healthy. There was absolutely no NICU time. They were born vaginally and went home with us 48 hours later. I was surprised at the small weights as I was piling on the food especially in my third trimester, LOL, due to hunger. DS did drop off his growth curve, so they actually induced. He came out scrunched up and did not fully stretch out on his own for nearly a week after being born. It must have been tight in there for the little guy and may have interfered with growth they said. Their dr. assured me babies will weigh what they weigh and no one was concerned b/c they were so healthy. Btw, he also pointed out that I was 6# 7oz. born at 42 weeks and DH was born at 5# 15 oz. as a 40 weeker. We were just all small babies. HTH .

 

my boys were born 37+4. oran weighed 5lb10 and brook 6lb8. they were born on wed afternoon and we all came home the next morning. no nicu.

 

I delivered at 37w0d - my water broke. H was 6.1 N was 5.0. No NICU time

 

I delivered (vaginally) at 37 weeks and 4 days. Sofia was 6 lbs 1 oz, Maya was 4 lbs 8 oz.

Now, they had NO idea Maya was going to be that small! The last measurements I had done were at 34 weeks and they were both measuring 4 lbs 8 oz. I think Maya stopped growing.

Oh, and No NICU time!

 

I had my girls at 37w5d and they were 6 '14 and 7 '1 and had no NICU time.

 

[SIZE=12pt]My girls were born at 37w 0d and weighed 6lbs 2oz. & 6lbs 1oz. No nicu time, just warmer lights while I was in recovery after my c-section. And Katharine, baby A, had measured a pound lighter just the week before at my final ultrasound and Monique was measuring about a pound heavier than her birth weight. [/SIZE]

 

37w0d, vaginal delivery (my water broke, too...no induction), A was 5lbs1oz, E was 4lbs13oz. Both were measuring over 6 1/2 lbs according to my growth scan the week before...guess it's not "accurate within half a pound" like the drs told me! No NICU time, either...they evaluated them there and kept bringing them back to the nursery for weight checks b/c A's sugar was low and E was so small, but they roomed in with us and came home with us 2 days after delivery!

 

38+4
Mine were 8lb 2oz and 7lb 2oz and no NICU time

 

My girls were born at 37 weeks, 4 days and they were7lbs 3oz and 7lbs 2oz with no NICU time.

Ours were 38 Weeks exactly, with one being 6.14 lbs and the other being 5.8 lbs. No NICU time at all.

 

My girls were delivered by C/S at 38 weeks. A was 8lbs1oz and B was 6lbs15oz. 10 minutes NICU for low blood sugar (I had GD). Once they had an ounce of formula they were sent to me in the recovery room.

 

38 + 3 Baby a was 7lbs exactly and Baby B was 5 lbs 11 oz. They needed no Nicu and Co-roomed the first night.

 

Just shy of 38 weeks, Allison was 6,2 and Sarah was 6,4. No NICU time.

 

Mine arrived at 37w3d and although DD spent the night in the incubator they didnt have any NICU time.

Their weights are in my siggy!

 

7 lbs 2 oz and 7 lbs 1 oz..........my DD was in the nicu for like 24-26 hours for extra fluid in her lungs (she was baby b)

 

Mine were 37w3d c-section A was breech, B was transverse. Baby A weighed 6lbs. 14oz. and Baby 7lbs. 11oz. No NICU time!

 

My girls were born 37 weeks 6 days. Lana was 5lbs 15oz, and Tatiana was 5 lbs 11 oz. Both 19 inches, and no NICU time. Now there is a 2 pound and 2 inch difference between the girls!

 

mine were born at 39 weeks, induced, but had to have c-section. they were 5 pound 12 ounces and 6 pounds 1 ounce. No nicu time. We all went home from the hospital together.
