It's important to note that multiple pregnancies typically don't last as long as singleton pregnancies (one fetus). The average pregnancy lasts 37 to 40 weeks when there's one fetus. As the number of fetuses increases, the duration of the pregnancy decreases. The average duration for triplets is 32 weeks to 35 weeks.
