    Some twins make it full-term, but most likely they will be early. I don't know if I've ever known anyone to have full-term twins, but it does happen. It's rare, but it happens.

    Most twins are born before term, but that doesn't mean they will be unhealthy. They will most likely be small, but perfectly fine.

    Twins often come a bit earlier and wiegh a bit less than single babies. It's usually not so early or so small as to cause complications though. You'd have to get into 4 and 5 babies for real problems to be likely.

    full term for a twin pregnancy is typically 36 weeks, twins are normally early. It can happen but it's very rare for a twin pregnancy to last to 40 weeks.

    It really just depends on the woman. I did hear that twins come early, at about 37 weeks and weigh less than an average baby. But my cousin gave birth to twins in Nov. and she was 1 wk passed her edd, and the babies came out 7lbs each. So i think it just depends on the woman.

    That depends on your body and the babies. My OB/GYN took my twins 7 weeks early, but one had a very low heart rate. The longer the babies stay in the womb, the stronger and more developed they will be.

    You are unlikely to carry to a full term. Most doctors will recommend a c-section early.

    I've heard multiples come a little earlier.
