Thoughts on delivery options for twin pregnancy
Just looking for some feedback... any twin mamas or others who have experienced both types of delivery/recovery even in consecutive pregnancies.
FTM; Currently 35w with twins, as of my last ultrasound baby A was head down and B was breech. I’m pretty sure they are still in those positions based on where their heartbeats register on my NSTs.
I have the option to try to deliver vaginally (much preferred!!) but if they can’t turn B then he’d have to be delivered by C section. So I’ve also been offered the option of just planning for a C section off the bat.
I already had one abdominal surgery this pregnancy and would rather avoid another one...I had also just hoped to deliver naturally if possible.
But I’m concerned that if I end up having to do both that the recovery will just be so much harder, especially with two to care for.
Is it worth attempting vaginal with the chance of getting a “combo package” in the hopes of avoiding a c section altogether?
Does anyone know the rate of success for baby B being successfully turned during L/D? (Will ask my doctor at next appointment)
