induced

by Tima, Feb 12, 2008 04:55PM
I am currently pergnant with twins 34wk5d. I am very petite and have a small tummy for having twins. Always feel tight, as if need to expand. My U/S last wk showed babies are 4.8lbs and 4.3lbs. At my OB appointment yesterday, everything went well, NSTs are good. No problems, no discharge, not having too many contractions per day, basically no sign of going into labor just yet. Just very uncomfortable. I have been dilated 1cm since I was 27wks. OB wants to induce in the 38th wk if I did not deliver till then. Does anyone know if thats a common timeframe to be induced for twins? I feel I should ask for the 37th wk. I have heard that some women even after being induced don't deliver until a day or two, is that true? Also looking for experiences with induction.  Any advice will help.

my friend was pregnant with twins a with months ago and i was there through the whole thing. she had her twins at 35 weeks. And her twins where 6.3 lbs and 6.7lbs. she tried everything to induce her labor nautrally. The onlt thing that worked for her was raspberry tea. She drink it all day and that evening she went into labor and had the babies a few hours later.
