Were your twins born in the order they were labelled?

Question

Hiya,
For the ladies who already given birth, were your twins born in order I.e baby A was born first then baby b or did the position change. 
I had an midwife appointment today and not sure which baby kicks is which and she couldn’t confirm if they 100% won’t switch place in utero. I’ve already had it in my mind that baby A the girl is going to be first and now I’m reading it could be any order :(. I’m also have a scheduled c section.
Thanks

Answer

My boys stayed in position from day 1. Baby A always had the hiccups in utero. However, when they did the 3D sonogram for me around 28 weeks it was clear (according to their labeling) that baby A looked like me and baby B looked like dad. When they came out baby A looked just like dad and B looked like me. I think the tech just had them backwards when she labeled the ultrasound pics because baby A always had the hiccups and even had the hiccups during that US and came out with hiccups right off the bat so he was never baby B, just got labeled wrong in that one US. But regardless of what they looked like their names would remain the same for who I chose baby A to be named etc. (didi boys) You will instinctively know who is who anyway if they are the same sex. They act the same outside the womb than inside. The one that always had me up at night is still a night owl and the one that always had me up early in the morning is still an early bird, as well as the hiccups.

I’m wondering that too!!! Both of mine are breech with feet down by my cervix and heads together right under my boobs. They’ve said A is on the left and B on my right.... so they’ll pull out A first? Or just what ever foot they feel? I guess it doesn’t really matter but I do know one is more crazy than the other and just wanted to see if that translated to him in the world lol that’s all

Answer

Depends what type of twins you are having, mine are Di/Di and they told me from the begining that they cannot swap sides. Baby A will be born first as he is closest to my crevix

Answer

My di/di twins switched. My baby B was born first and Baby A second. They switched at about 30 weeks and stayed that way for the remainder  of my pregnancy.

Answer

My baby B came out first (scheduled c-section) only because when they cut me open they had to cut me higher than a normal c-section due to an abscess i had on my waistline and baby A was so far down in my pelvis that baby B just slipped right on out first lol but i was able to recognize which baby was which (both girls) because my baby A had issues in the womb and was significantly smaller than baby B.

Answer

My di di babies did switch place in the womb but it was somewhere between weeks 20 and 30. It confused the sonogoragpher who had to recheck the sex of the babies a million times out of confusion (boy/girl). After 30 weeks though they came out as expected and dont think there would have been enough room in womb to switch again

Answer

Our ultrasound clinic and doctor  say that A is always on the left and B is always on the right. (Which is different from most places that label Baby A as being the one closest to cervix) So in my case B will be born first as he is closest to my cervix.

Answer

Not always, but usually baby A is called A because they're closer to the cervix and thus comes first. Twins usually move from side to side to top bottom or the other way around but then once they pick a place they stay in that place (still moving like crazy). Mine started top bottom and are now left right.
