Forced Into C Section??

Question

So I'm 34.4 with boys. One is already head down & has been since 28 weeks I believe & baby B is head up which is fine because he's not the one closes to the exit (baby A).... so my ob has told me that 98% possibility that I'll be having a c-section. Why? Because that's just her preference when dealing with twins. This has me pissed and angry because why do I have a suffer such a birth & surgery "just because".... I've had to vaginal deliveries already & they both went just fine. I DO NOT want a c-section, especially without serious cause or complication. What do I do?? & something tells me that even if I tell her this, she'll makeup some shit while I'm literally in the hospital to give birth just to still end up giving me a c-section, because of how admit she is.... 😣

Answer

seek a 2nd oponion hun because my doc said as long as baby A is head down I can have a vaginal birth 😊

Answer

Sorry to contradict the previous poster but I've been told by 3 different Doctors that as long as baby A is head down vaginal birth is ok. In fact my perinatal specialist told me when looking for a OBGYN if they tell you, you have to have a C section  just because you're having twins get up and walk out. Only reason for a C section is if it is medically necessary or both babies are breech

Answer

If one is breech, you'll have to have a c section. It's safer for you and baby. If they're both head down, no reason you can't do vaginal. Those are the rules at my hospital at least. A c section isn't that bad, especially when it's planned. Try not to stress if you can help it. As long as everyone is healthy when it's all over, that's all that matters.

Answer

Honestly I really wanted to have a vaginal birth with my twins, but after being head down for 9 months my son (baby A) went breech as well as my daughter (baby B). So c-section was inevitable. My daughter ended up wrapping the cord around her neck 3 times!! So if we did go vaginal I would have had to do both. Or she could have suffocated trying to come out. My Dr made a very good call, so I don't think they want to go against our birth plans it's just what is safest for you and the babies. And as scared as I was it wasn't as bad as I anticipated, it was almost easier. The first 5 days of recovery were rough but two weeks later I am almost back to normal.

Answer

Im only 19 weeks but have been told as long as baby a is head down you should be able to deliver vaginally! My Ob and Perinatal Specialist have both told me that are comfortable delivering a breech baby b!

Answer

with baby a being head down that means they would be forced to try and turn baby b? 😂 so u can deliver vaginally but if they cant turn baby b, you will still end up in a c section.  I wouldn't want them trying to turn my baby, i have a friend and they killed one if her twins trying to turn the baby 😕. But you need to talk to your doctor and make it verbal that you dont want a c-section. Im currently pregnant with Di/Di and baby a is breeched 🤷🏾‍♀️ so rather than them turning her, id opt for c section.
