@plumpous, no, twin pregnancy doesn't automatically mean C-section. If both twins are vertex, mom can be offered the opportunity for either vaginal delivery or C-section. If one is breech, then my experience has been that they usually go forward with a C-section.
Thanks @supermom83 and @JAM85 for your stories! I think I might just go for it and know if I end up with a c-section then that's okay too. My c-section experience was not bad compared to some stories you do hear but I know recovery from a vaginal birth can "sometimes" be easier (I know complications can come up there as well). I am just trying to think of the best route to go we don't live near family since we are military so something planned does have it's perks as well.
@plumpous depends on their position and your OB. Some will insist on a section so I suggest if you do have twins, find out early how your OB feels about it.
Most will require an epidural because they want to be able to do a c-section very quickly if things turn badly.
That's interesting! I plan to go natural. I did it the first time. I know some people think it's crazy and it wasn't actually my plan but I arrived fully dilated (long story). But I am glad I got to experience the real thing. It fulfilled some underlying desire I had to know what it would feel like.
