Thanks cvd. She only gave us one good shot of her face but the tech said it is still early and she doesn't have a lot of fat right now anyway. She was very nice and the first thing she checked for was to see if it was a girl, lol. I had fun and my son thought it was super neat to see his sister.

Atsaukina it may also depend on where you are located. Different doctors probably have different regulations. My friend just had twins on New Years. She was scheduled for c section at 38 weeks but she went at 35 I think...good thing too because she has 7 pound babies. YES she grew babies that were 7 pounds, lol. I think that has something to do with it too because she ended up getting a hernia from the weight of the two babies and now she has to have surgery. The babies are perfectly healthy even being born at 35 weeks.

Oh no hoping! I have always heard that when they are coy and don't want to open up, it is a girl, lol. Son had his legs WIDE open but Joelle had them closed for a LONG time. Thankfully it was during the anatomy scan so tech had plenty of time. I really hope these 3 weeks fly by fast for you.

praying4pink- that is exactly my point:) they come when they are ready or when there is a medical need to get them out sooner. The practice of doctors setting random dates on twins, breech,vbacs, and even women with "normal" (as they all are a variation of normal) needs to stop! I see you are in the US like me so you know what I am talking about. Question did she have them vaginally? If not was it even discussed or an option for her? And that is awesome she grew two 7lb babies even being 35 weeks! I have always thought I could carry twins since my singletons are
10+ so 5lbs each and they would still be good lol.

I agree with that. Although I must admit, I went 2 weeks over due with DS1 so I am more then happy to be delivering at 38+2 by csection again, to each their own :)
