Hi all, I would be very grateful if those of you with identical twins wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to share your birth stories! I am nearly 26 weeks with MCDA twins and thinking a lot about the birth. I am hoping to try for a vaginal delivery, which the consultant says I should be able to do if twin 1 is head down at the time of the birth. Apparently my chances of vaginal delivery are higher as I've done it before (I had a home water birth with DS nearly three years ago).
But there is of course the chance that I will need a c-section, so I am interested in birth stories of all kinds! Especially things like, did you go into labour spontaneously, were you induced, or did you have a planned c-section? If you had a vaginal birth, did you have an epidural or other pain relief? Did you need any interventions?
