C-Section Question

msditz00msditz00 member
in Multiples
For those who had c-sections with their twins, how close together were your babies born?  I'm trying to piece together as much info about my girls as possible, but unfortunately will probably never know a lot of information (I don't even know if their birth mother had any prenatal care).  Both girls were born in the same minute - just wondering if this means they shared a sac, or if this is common with twins in general. (It obviously makes no difference to anything now, but it would be nice to have answers to any questions I can have answers to).

Sorry for the ignorant question.

    Mine were born 3 minutes apart.  I have heard of twins being born in the same minute, and I think in most of those instances there was some kind of emergency, requiring them to be delivered quickly.  I don't think it has anything to do with sharing a sac.
    Thanks.  I'll probably never know the real answer, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask some people who had gone through it before.

    Mine were born in the same min. Two different sacs and the doc said she had to fish around for baby #2 lol. So I guess it can happen!!! Mine was also fairly emergent so that might have something to do with it too

    Mine they said were each a min apart but it seemed quicker to me. They all had own sacs.

    Mine were in separate sacs and born within the same minute. It was non-emergency. Baby A's water had already been broken when I was laboring (unsuccessful vaginal delivery attempted before c-sec) so I don't know if that sped things up. Alao both girls were head down. Maybe presentation affects how fast they can get to them?

    Mo-dis, double transverse, born 3 minutes apart. They would have been much closer but B was completely tangled in umbilical cord (wrapped 4x around his neck) so they had to detangle him first.

    Fraternal, 2minutes. They had to pry my daughter's hand off her cord to get her out. I guess she was comfy!

    Mine were fraternal born 1 minute apart. It was a scheduled csection that wasn't an emergency at all. Baby A was frank breech and came out butt first. Baby B was transverse and high up.

    Mo-di twins elective scheduled Csection- same minute- they were both head down which may have made it easier.

    Mono di girls born via scheduled c-section one minute apart. Although it seemed that they were pulled out within seconds of each other!

    Mine were a minute apart. Both were head down, but after A came out, B flipped breech. For some reason I thought they tried to have them born in different minutes (can't remember why though).

    My fraternal twins were born one minute apart. It was a scheduled c-section due to them both being breech, so no emergency. They even managed to turn baby B within that minute.

    According to the birth certificate, my girls were born one minute apart, but my OB told me that they were actually just seconds apart. He said he wanted them to each have their own minute ;).

    Fraternal twins, also one minute apart.  I think it's pretty common for doctors to give each twin their own minute.

    Di/di twins were less than 1 minute apart, but a minute apart on their birth certificate. It was an easy delivery.

    Di/di b/g twins, born 3 mins apart at only 25 weeks gestation. Baby A's water had already broken and she kept dropping her HR with contractions. Since she was the one in distress, she's was delivered first.
