Vaginal birth for twins

My OB was on his way from Wisconsin at about 4pm — rush hour! Not necessarily and it's not the standard of care in many hospitals. I have never been afraid of a drug-free natural childbirth, but the idea of a hospital birth has always scared me. This means his or her head is pointing down but toward either of your hips instead of squarely at your cervix. Your chance of having a vaginal birth may also depend on when you go into labour. It's harder to be confident about the safety of a VBAC in a twin birth.

The risk of occurrence of gestational diabetes in a multiples pregnancy is still being researched at this time. Will spending her whole labor in the operating room make her birth safer? A cord prolapse — where the umbilical cord comes out before the second baby, cutting off his or her blood supply — is one example. In fact, most moms of multiples report that delivering number two is a snap once they've welcomed number one. Because labor and delivery for multiples tends to have a higher possibility of complications, your practitioner will likely recommend that you give birth in a hospital. However, this is not necessarily the case.

The epidural is for a good reason: If mom has health problems, the babies are premature, too small or large, in breech or transverse positions or there are other problems, then a vaginal birth might not be a safe risk and c-section might be the better choice. Elective delivery was planned between 37 weeks 5 days and 38 weeks 6 days of gestation. The video starts with a narrative by the mother detailing her search for a provider supportive of VBAC.
