How many minutes apart are triplets born?
A: With vaginal deliveries, most babies are born within ten to 30 minutes of each other.
What is the average size of triplets at birth?
The average triplet weighs 4 pounds at birth, and the average quad 3 pounds. While they might have to spend a few days in the NICU putting on some weight, the good news is, many preemies are considered “feeders and growers,” which means they'll soon catch up to their peers.
Can triplets be born full term?
Will I carry my triplets full term? The average length of pregnancy for triplets is 34 weeks, and it is most likely that your babies will be delivered by caesarean section, and with a lot of doctors and nurses assisting at the birth. You and your babies will be in very safe hands!
