Average NICU time

I was on the MOST website and I found this information very helpful to give me a guess as to how long our babies might have to stay in the NICU after they're born. My doc thinks I can make it to 36-37 weeks!

Average days in the NICU by Multiple Type and Gestation

Gestation......Triplets
<25 weeks......60.8 days
25 weeks......113.5 days
26 weeks......90.0 days
27 weeks......82.0 days
28 weeks......55.2 days
29 weeks......46.9 days
30 weeks......39.6 days
31 weeks......30.7 days
32 weeks......22.6 days
33 weeks......16.8 days
34 weeks......11.4 days
35 weeks......6.2 days
36 weeks......3.0 days
37 weeks......3.5 days
38 weeks......9.3 days

*Note: Hospital stays for infants born after 35 weeks may vary depending on the size and overall health of the babies.

Seems like everything is going good for you. Let's hope it stays that way..

Very interesting - thanks for posting this! I'm hoping to make it to 36 weeks as well; I *think* I can handle the babies being in the NICU for 3 days.
I'll be keelping my fingers crossed that you make it to at least 36 weeks too!

Wow- this is really accurate. I had my tips at 33 weeks 1 day. My boys were in the hospital 16 days and my girl 18 days. So the average of 16.8 was very close!
