I have a doctors appt tomorrow and will ask my doc this same question, but wanted to get your experience/thoughts on scheduling a csection for twins. I am at 33w3d and get an ultrasound every week now. For as long as I can remember the babies have both or at least one been breech. I've come to terms with it being a csection and was wondering at what point you all scheduled your csection, if you did. For what it's worth, my pregnancy has been pretty uneventful minus some back pain, nausea, and PUPPS.
Re: When to schedule csection?
I just hit 33 weeks today. I had an OB/MFM appointment yesterday. One of the attendings said that since baby1 is breech and it's unlikely that she'll turn at this point so we MOST LIKELY not be attempting vaginal birth and c-section is likely.
That said, I saw him after I saw my OB. OB (who is a fellow in the clinic) said that we will be discussing delivery possibilities next appointment (scheduling induction/c-section type stuff).
I assume that it will come up in your appointment anyway tomorrow. If not, it's good that you will bring it up. If they aren't ready to schedule, they will do it soon.
Do you know if you have an end date other than your 40week due date? I will not be going past 38 weeks for sure so we are drawing closer anyway.
Scheduling a c/s came up w my OB at my last appt. she wants to "get a date on the calendar" around 39w. We haven't set the date yet and I haven't pushed bc I'm still holding onto a tiny shred of hope that I'll get to attempt a vag delivery.
My water broke spontaneously at 37w1d w my first, so of course if I go into labor before that and I still have a breech A, it'll be a c/s then.
I'll bring up scheduling again prob around 35w if it doesn't come up w my OB again before then. I have no real reason for choosing 35w, btw

A has always been breech and B keeps flipping (in fact I think he is headed down now). I have come to terms with a C-section as well and have asked about it multiple times. We finally scheduled it at 35 week appointment for exactly 38 weeks. He was willing to do 38 and 1 day but it looked like if those two weren't available schedule wise I would have been bumped up earlier.
If I go into labor I will still have to get a C-section. A is presenting feet first and usually is, so no chance even if B is head down.
