Here's a mom of two x a twin set

On January 23, 1997, our twins were born at 27 weeks. They weighed 990 and 1000 grams and were 35 centimeters long, so they were born way, way too early... a full 13 weeks early. On April 17, 1997, after 12 weeks in the hospital, they were finally allowed to go home. They were then 47 centimeters long and weighed 2560 and 2600 grams.

On December 1, 2000, our twins were born again at 34 weeks. This time they weighed 1870 and 2300 grams, and were 39 and 42 centimeters long. Unfortunately, one of our twins was allowed to go home on the same day, while our other child had to stay in the hospital for another 4 weeks. He weighed 2300 grams and was 43 centimeters long at that time.

    My daughter was born on June 4, 2012, and she was also premature. She was born at 37 weeks and had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks. She weighed 2200 grams and was 44 cm long, so quite small.

    I'm now pregnant with a second girl and I'm really curious how heavy and big she'll be!

    My twins were due on July 10th, but they were born on June 20th. Now they are happy, healthy, and well.
