being induced sometime over the next few days since ive made it to 38w with fraternaltwins. Any moms have positive vaginal deliveries after being induced with twins? I did it with my first but that was just 1 baby. Thanks in advance for any responses!!
Re: Being induced at 38w
Hello! I wonder if you've already been induced?! My twins are a month old so I went through this recently. I had a successful vaginal delivery when I was induced with my fraternal twins at 38 weeks + 2 days.
I also was induced with my first baby and there were some differences (my 2nd baby came on her own). With my first I was allowed to walk around for 45 minutes and then be monitored for 45 minutes. Not with twins! At least not with my Dr or hospital. They made me stay in bed all day which was super annoying, but oh well. Pitocin was started at little before 10am and my boys were born at 10pm and 10:27pm. I delivered in the OR and got an epidural half way through the day (first epidural for me). The tricky thing about my delivery was that baby B was breech and so our plan all along was to deliver baby A (head down) and then try to turn B. I definitely recommend having an epidural if you're having a baby turned. Lots of pushing. They got it done but his heart rate dropped. They started prepping me for a C-section but then his heart rate went back up so they let me push one more time and success! If 'B' had been head down I think everything would have gone very smoothly. I didn't have any tears or anything. I was going for walks in the neighborhood just days later. GL! Give us an update! We need more chatter on this board.
