Premature twins, also known as preemies, are born before the 37th week of pregnancy. Unlike a singleton pregnancy, full-term gestation for twins is 38 weeks.
Twins babies born between 34 – 37 gestation are likely to do incredibly well, so long there are no further complications or health issues.
Babies are considered very premature when born between 28 and 31 gestation, severely preterm twins are born 22 – 27 weeks though this is very rear.

The length of time you will stay in the NICU with your premature twins will depend on the gestation age of your babies and any complications that are present themselves.
