Depends on how long you can carry the twins and what kind of prenatal care you have recieved. Birth weight of twins can range from extremely low >2lbs each to 6 or more pounds. The average birth weight of twins at 35 weeks in the United States is about 5 pounds each and this is concidered healthy.

On average, about eight weeks pregnant.
Yes, twins grow at the exact same rate. The average twin birth is at 37 weeks and they may be a little smaller than average. I had my twins at 36 weeks because I had high blood presssure, my daughter was 6ib 3 oz which is what a single baby at 36 weeks would be, her brother had been affected by my high blood pressure and weighed 4lb 15 oz, but now 17 years later it is apparent that he is naturally lighter. They are both 5'9" but she is still the larger. They are both extremely healthy and doing well at school. A friend (from twins club) had identcal twin girls 2 months after I did. She went to 41 weeks and the girls weighed 7lb 9oz and 7lb 13oz. Good Luck, twins are the hardest work, but the most fun. Yes she is correct. Twins develop atthe same rate but tend to have a shorter gsational time with the average being 37 weeks. Also, A mono-fetal pregnancy has an average birth weight of about 3Kg. With twins, the average is about 2.7Kg. Good luck and keep us posted! Pam
Approximately 35 weeks. this is when the twins stop growing to so much.
When i had my 7 week scan theywere both 6.5mm. i dont know if this is average / normal.
Whether it is for 8 weeks or 8 million weeks, 2.2 kg = 2.2 kg.
Most twins are delivered a few weeks early. This seems to be better for their health and their mother's health. This can either be achieved by inducing labour or through extraction through C-section.
It's not uncommon that they come before 40 weeks but you can also go full term. There is nothing that says that twins should be delivered earlier than others, it completely varies from pregnancy to pregnancy.
Yes, 9 weeks and 3 days is the average time it takes before a cat gives birth.
twins!
