did you have a c-section or natural birth
ive been thinking about this alot,i know its early days but in my pregnancy book it says most of twin pregnancies have a c-section iam just wondering if this is true,did the doctors advice on a c-section or did you have a natural labour?

I had my twins naturally, no mention of c-section. Was just told induction date and that was it. I was induced at 37 weeks because my hospital doesnt let ID twins go over that. If i really wanted a c-section at the time i could have asked for one.

i had my twins induced as they had stopped growing at 38 weeks.
i was in labour for 2 days with gas and air for pain relief.
then i had an emergency c-section.
my twins were interlocked (having a big cuddle)
and so could not descend down the birth canal.
for about 4 weeks after birth they remained all smooched up - but now at 9 weeks they seem to have seperated a little!

had check and twin 2 is now breech but twin 1 head down as long as they stay like this a normal delivery should b ok.
i really want natural delivery as with other 5 if poss.
I tried for a natural delivery with my twins but had pre eclampsia and stopped progressing so ended up with em section, however dont think it was coz i had twins as had singleton after and still stopped progressing so ended up with another em section, turns out i have an incompent cervix, what ever that means.
I loved trying for a natural and wish i cld have experienced it all. I think its best to go with the flow and do whatever consultant recommends xxDBxx
