Can a twin gestation have different birth dates a couple weeks apart - from each other?


Posted: Feb 19, 2011

Both twins are the same gestational age in weeks and days, but on one twin he gives the EDD of 15 days later than the other twin.  Is that possible or do you think he made a mistake in EDD dates?

Possible but extremely rare - anon

I have read studies that women can get pregnant with twins with different fathers from multiple sexual partners, so it is possible to have different times of conception, although they will probably be born at the same time and I do not think a two week period is unreasonable for this to happen.

Does not have to be different fathers for this to - happen. NM

It is rare but I have a friend and her daughter was having twins. I dont' remember all the details but the first one was born early and stayed in the hospital for quite sometime. She delivered the other one later, if I remember right 2 months later. As they grew up they looked alike.

Comma After Dates
