Things I Learned About Twins (while at work today)

Accoring to Pregnancy at about.com:

  • Average birth weights for twins are 5 lbs 5 oz.
  • About 35% of twins will be born by week 35
  • Labor will begin in the majority of twin pregnancies before 37 weeks with 50% of deliveries between 34 and 37 weeks.
  • Most vaginal born twins are born within an hour of each other, though this can vary from one right after the other, to several hours. FYI, we're hoping for a vaginal delivery. Although my mom thinks that c-section babies are "prettier."
