Note that by âlong distance relationships,â I refer to the ones where there is no current possibility or any possibility in the near future that the two people involved will be living in the same area. So, based on my own experience, these are 7 reasons why long distance relationships donât work out:
As mentioned above, there's no guarantee that your twins will arrive early. However, the possibility is higher than with a singleton birth. Some hospitals allow expectant parents to take a tour of the NICU, to get some idea of what may be waiting for them; ask if that's an option.
Twins are usually born earlier than singleton babies and in fact, are considered to be 'at term', or fully ready for birth at 37 weeks, as opposed to 40 weeks for singletons. About half of twin pregnancies make it to term, the other half are born prematurely to some degree.
