I have 10 weeks old identical twin girls. They were born at 31 weeks and 2 days. We went through IVF, one egg took and then split. It split late, both girls were in the same amniotic sac – Monoamniotic Monochorionic. We were originally told that they cold be conjoined, but thankfully they were not. I was admitted to the hospital at 26 weeks. I was scheduled for a c section at 34 weeks, but my water broke early. The girls were 3lbs each when they were born. They spent 3 1/2 weeks in the NICU gaining weight and learning to take a bottle. One was on a nasal canula for a few days; the other required no breathing help. Both had episodes of Bradycardias – very scary. They are both 6lbs 3oz and 18 inches long – as of their pediatrician appointment last week.
