Follow the links below to find pregnancy and birth data gathered by the TS Community. Please remember that this information has been gathered from a random, unscientific sampling of TS Moms.

Birth Weight Chart for Twins: This chart is a sampling of TS Moms reporting on birth weights and weeks gestation of their twins. We polled moms on how many weeks they went to and on birth weights of their children. We took the actual birth weights of the babies and averaged them for each week. We have also listed the low and high birth weights for each week and the number of people responding. We had 191 respondents to the poll.

NICU Stays by Gestation: This chart is a sampling of TS Moms reporting on the gestation of their twins and the number of days their children spent in the NICU. The data was then averaged. The chart begins at 25 weeks and goes to 40 weeks.

Gestational Weights via Ultrasound: This chart is a sampling of Twinstuff moms reporting on the gestational weights of their twins in ultrasound measurements during pregnancy. Please bear in mind that the gestational weight estimates may vary based on external factors and that this chart is not designed to be used as a recommended weight range for your twins. For 16 months, we collected ultrasound weights from mothers here at Twinstuff. Those weights were then calculated to find the average weight for that week. Also listed are the lowest and highest weights recorded for that ultrasound period.

So an idea because I was curious. I like the idea of these with the comparisons of NICU stays and what not. I was wondering if there was a pattern of amount of weight gained during pregnancy in comparison with infant weight and birth time... Not worded very well. So in other words the categories would be Total weight gain, Gestational age at birth (how many weeks were you when babies were born), and weight of babies at birth. Not sure if anyone could make this one, but thought it would be interesting to see. The book i;ve been reading says that weight gain is very important for multiples and has a lot to do with gestation and birth weight. Just curious.
