vaginal or c-section for twins

Post by leahbusani »

hey everyone i was wondering what kind of delivery you had with twins?
because i read that a lot of twins are born by c-section but at the same time i see on this message board that a lot women gave birth to twins vaginal delivery. if you can please share with me what type of delivery you had.

Got to the Twins Magazine boards...there are many 'surveys' on it, as well as what week (and for how long the babies were in the NIC unit) twins were born...
That is a great site for twin moms...

I plan to do a c-section...my boy is breech...plus I hear baby # 2 gets agitated during v-birthing...

BUT these are my 1st babies...I've read about moms delivering twins 'pop pop', quite easily...do what YOU want to do...and can plan with your OB.

Hi,
My twins were born by c-section because twin A was breach. My ob didn't want to take any risks.
Best of luck to you. Enjoy!

My twins were born emergency c-section after they discovered a placenta abruption with my son. Probably would of had a c-section anyway because my dd was breech.

Good luck! Twins are so amazing!

I had a c-section. My boys were head down, but one was sunny side up. I could have tried for a vaginal but I didn't want to take any chances and definitely didn't want one vaginal and one c-section!
