you're hoping for a vag delivery right? Or did I confuse you? Sorry if I did...

Yup, but if baby A doesn't figure out what way's down here soon, it's not looking good!
I spent a lot of time researching providers who would do vag twin births. It's starting to look like a big waste of time!
I went to the OB today. My kids are both vertex (still) thank god, but they are occipital posterior (i.e. face up). I don't know if they'll turn down before I go. I'm scared as hell.
That mixed with the fact that I may be induced, I'm kind of wigging out a bit.
How was your delivery with O?
It was a long labor with 2.5 hours of pushing (he has a GIANT head and was presenting without his chin tucked, probably from being breech for so long.) I had some complications with him, though, that made things worse and that I'm hoping won't come up this time.
I wouldn't worry about the occipital posterior thing. They can move a lot between now and then, and they often rotate quite a bit as they descend in labor. OP does generally mean more back labor if they stay that way, but there's nothing that would make it mean a c-section.
You can also do a lot of exercises now to get them to turn their head. Try getting on your hands and knees and doing pelvic tilts as much as possible to help them rotate. Also, the more upright you can stay in labor (and more you can move, rock your hips etc), the easier time they have rotating their head into position.
Ahh, you rock. I had a feeling you'd have some resources on spinning babies.
I really want this vag delivery to work out. I'm honestly terrified of having a section. I know for so many MoM's that seems like the better option, but I've been having a lot of issues with not clotting this pregnancy and I see a surgery where we're intentionally making me bleed end up disastrous.
I'm crossing my fingers that my body is letting me do ONE thing exactly the way I want it done.
p.s. I woke up to a soaking wet panty liner this morning and thought of you LOL. Aren't you glad you're now permanently affiliated with my bed wetting?
Ah, sister in incontinence
We do have a higher chance of a c-section with twins, but depending on your provider, somewhere between 50-80% of twins are vaginal, so that's not too bad.
It's nice that your docs know about your clotting issues ahead of time. I'm sure they'll be well prepared to deal with it.
