    What was your gestation at delivery? 37 weeks 4 days. The boys' fluid was just starting to go low and I wanted to try to have a vaginal birth - so i went into the hospital to be induced. After a few hours, I wasn't progressing and we had a scare with one of the twins, so to air on the side of caution, I had a c-section.

    How long were the babies in the NICU & why? No Nicu time!

    What was their birth weight? Samuel was 5 lbs 12 oz and Luke was 4 lbs 12 oz.

    35 weeks although I did not go into labor. I had pre-eclampsia and they HAD to be delivered.


    Mine were in PICU because they had problems controlling their body temperatures and were too small and need to get bigger and stronger before they could come home. Alex was in for 7 days and River came home after 10 days. Both boys failed their car seat challenge on numerous occasions.

    4lbs 14oz and 3lbs 15oz, 19.75" long

    What was your gestation at delivery? 36 Weeks exactly - C-section due to failed induction - I had pre-e

    How long were the babies in the NICU & why? They didn't go to the NICU - they kept Abby one extra night to make sure she could hold her temps...honestly if they had been born at a hospital with a NICU or Special Care nursery they probably would have kept them just to do low birthweight, but they were healthy and had no breathing issues or even any jaundice!

    What was thier birth weight? Abby was 3 lbs 8.5 oz and Ian was 4 lb 8.5 oz - they were born on Tuesday and I brought Ian home at discharge with me on Saturday and picked up Abby on Sunday morning!
