    I was just wondering and I am sure other expecting mommies are to, how far along were you when u delivered and if early what was the reason for doing so? I am 33 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins and can't wait for my scheduled C-section June 23rd. As big as I am I am it dose not seem like I could possibly make it another month! LOL!

    I was 37.3 weeks scheduled section, I was scheduled for 38 but I told my ob that I would start the cut mysleft if she couldn't get me in any sooner! Heah at that far along 4 days seemed like a month!! Hang in there, having my babies in the room with us and no NICU was amazing.

    38 weeks, c-section. I was developing pre-e and there was no sign of the babies coming on their own, so c/s it was. I remember getting to 35 or 36 weeks and almost hoping they would come a bit early, I was so uncomfortable! Hang in there!

    33 weeks with a c-section due to possible placenta problems and high blood pressure. Babies spend 16 days in NICU.

    Hang in there, it is worth getting as far as you can.

    I got induced at 37w2d, I had been 3cm dilated for about a week after being on bedrest for 10wks for incompetent cervix.

    Good luck!

    Induced at 37 1/2 weeks. I had borderline preeclampia, if I did'nt my ob most likely would of had me hold on longer. I was seeing him twice a week and each time I hoped he would say today's the day. Finally on New Year's eve he said "I'm doing an induction on Friday, if you want, I can do you to". I was :a_smil09: :banana:

    After 22 hours of labor I began delivery vaginally, but I ended up needing a c-section.

    My girls were born vaginally at 30 weeks, 4 days after 12 weeks of bedrest for PTL. PROM for Baby A started things rolling. We spent 8 weeks in the NICU, but they are happy, healthy 5-month-old babies now.

    38 weeks... scheduled c/s. I still joke and say if it wasn't for that scheuled c/s, I'd still be pregnant! I was about 100% effaced and 1cm dilated for WEEKS!

    34 weeks after being in PTL for 10 weeks. Meds weren't working anymore (contractions every minute and dilated 4cm), and both babies were breach and they were afraid a foot would rupture the membrane... so it was an emergency c-section for me.

    I was scheduled for a csec at 38w1d but I went into labor and delivered by emergency (although not nearly as emergent as some) csec at 37w5. Baby A, Kayci was two lbs smaller and trying to come out feet first! My ob checked me at a little after three and the babies were out at 3:36/7.

    Started labor at 27 weeks and started bedrest. I continued to dilate for weeks and at 30 weeks found that baby A was butt first and if my water would have broke, she would have ended up with a prolasped cord so they took them by emergency c-section, I was already in active labor at 9cm! Didnt feel a single contraction, I had no clue! No one knows why I went into labor early, I believe it was high bp since I have hypotension (low bp) and no one caught it, but we will never know. Spent 52 days in the NICU as mostly feeders/growers with A's & B's..

    I made it to 37 weeks 5 days. I was suppose to be induced, but when we got to the hospital I was already in labor. 4 hours later I had them vaginally 7lbs 2oz and 7 lbs no NICU time. Hang in there. I know how miserable you are but the longer they cook the more time you get to spend with them and not time in the NICU.

    I was 1 day shy of 38 weeks induced. They told me for WEEKS "baby A's head is right there, it will be any time". Well it never happened and at my 37 week appt. I started crying to my doc. that I couldn't take it anymore and wanted them out!! She said if I got a test done to check their lungs I could be induced earlier then 38 weeks. I was so excited about it!! However b/c it wasnt an emegency I kept getting bumped back for a week b/c there were so many deliveries that week!! The nurses acctually said they had never had so many women go into labor in one week!! So I ended up having them only one day earlier then I would have anyway!!!!
    I sort of kicked myself after to b/c one more night of sleep would have been great! :lol:

    My water broke at 36 weeks exactly. I had a C-section. Jack was in the NICU for 14 days and Ryan for 9 days.
    You can do it...I know it's hard but it's best for the babies to keep them in as long as possible! Drink lots of water and stay off your feet!

    I made it to 37.5 weeks and my water broke. My doctor was going to induce labor if I made it to 38 weeks. I had been on bedrest from week 24-35 because of a short cervix. Then at 35 weeks my doctor wanted me to start walking around .
    After 36 weeks I was sooo huge and uncomfortable. One day I walked past an old man and he asked "Are you having twins ?" I said "yes" and he said "I hope you have them SOON !"

    37 weeks 1 day, went into labor naturally after being on procardia from 33 weeks 4 days to 36 weeks for preterm labor. Babies were 5 lb 10 oz and 6 lb 6 oz...12 lbs of BABY!

    Even though I made it all the way to 37 weeks, had steroid shots, etc., my DD still acted like she needed a couple more weeks to cook before coming. If I could have kept her inside, regardless of how painful it was (and trust me, I couldn't even walk at that point!), I would have...

    Hang in there! No matter how huge you are, easier in than out! You're in for an adventure!
