I am havin twins and want to know what everyones opinion is about a C-Section or a vaginal birth? My OB said more likely than not I would probably have a planned C-Section because most people with twins do but I am really scared. What do yall think?

I am also pregnant with twins and my Dr. said that now a days it is not uncommon to have twins vaginaly. It all deoends on the position of baby A.

If at all possible, you want to have your babies vaginally. I speak from experience. My twins are 5 years old now and the only thing that keeps me from having more children is the possibility of having to have another C-Section. It is not unsafe to deliver twins vaginally. Unless there are complications with the delivery (like I had), I would go for the vaginal birth.

Im expecting twin boys and am 28 weeks pregnant. From doing much reading and listening to the experts the vaginal birth is the way to go if at all possible, the reason being that the whole process increases the bonding with the complete labor also the squeezing of the baby as it travels through the birth canal allows a better start for breathing (just naming a couple of pros). I'm hoping for the vaginal birth because I dont want to be in pain for weeks after their arrival but at the same time, if a C-section is safer because of complications at the birth then I'm all for it. All I can say is we're really fortunate that we live in this day in age. Put your faith in the health professionals and enjoy your pregnancy:-)
