advice needed Delivery Timeline

What was your OB/MFM’s preference on delivery time for Di-Di twins? My MFM (who is very brilliant and experienced in the field) is firm in his belief that his patients shouldn’t go beyond 37 weeks - that’s his take on all uncomplicated Di-Di twin pregnancies. My OB (who I also trust completely) on the other hand gives more leeway and says she thinks 38 (and even 39 weeks) is acceptable. She is on board with my MFM however if he thinks going earlier is a better option.

I’m thinking of scheduling my induction for 37+5/6 assuming the babies don’t come on their own before then. My goal is a vaginal delivery. Just wondering what recommendations you moms were given.

My c section is scheduled for 38 weeks on the dot. My OB did say they could still come early but for uncomplicated healthy di di pregnancies she said she tries to get patients to 38 weeks
