So I need advice.... again lol
How many of you that were twin pregnancies had the situation where Baby A came out and Baby B flipped and came out successfully?
I am really struggling with making a decision as to what to do with my labor.
Situation:
Baby A is head down ready to go.
Baby B is breech and slightly bigger.
STILL!
He can try to flip him if he doesnt flip on his own, but we don't know what will happen.
He can also try and deliever breech. There are options.... but they are all unknowns.
We have been back and forth so many times.
Would you just schedule the c-section and call it a day? Or try vaginal first and hope for the flip? And if no flip, the breech delievery?
I am REALLY struggling with letting go of my hope/dream to deliver vaginally but obviously healthy babies is my number 1 goal. So torn and my horonones aren't helping, I'm so emotional over the decision.
if u have past experiences, good or bad, please tell me.

I guess my best advice is to talk about about all the scenarios and risks with your doc. Are you OK with the possibility of a vaginal and then a section? If your comforitable with the pros and cons then go for it. if not though it may not be the birth you had dreamed of like @kelrauh said you'll have your babies in your arms and that is what is important.

- MFM explained that if vaginal and A comes out there's a vacuum created wherein baby B then has to fall through (for lack of better wording). MFM was concerned that they'd have to pull baby B by a shoulder down the canal. Depending on B's size that could risk hurting an arm/shoulder.
- MFM told me that all things being equal in my situation a c-section was slightly safer for babies but a vaginal was slightly safer for me.
- My OB informed me that there was a doctor on staff who prefers to give birth to twins when B is breached and if B isn't breached will actually turn the baby butt down.
All outcomes differ. Some women start pushing and ultimately end up with a c-section. My c-section was pretty uneventful. It was disappointing to not really see that babies come out, I initially could only hear them cry and was anxiously awaiting what felt like an eternity for someone to tell me they were both healthy. I did feel a let-down in terms of bonding b/c I had to wait 12 hours to see my babies (they were in NICU). B/c of the NICU I had to wait a bit longer to even get to hold them. My friend delivered twins vaginally and she had a very rough time. It was a long delivery with significant tearing. I guess there's no right or wrong answer.
