just that really! I have visions of a vaginal birth with twins being very medicalised and interventional....induction, no active labour, constant monitoring, doctors strongly suggesting epidurals, theatre delivery (this is how all twins are delivered in the hospital I'm going to), instrumental assistance etc.
I know I'm trying to prepare myself for the above, as it is so far from what I had originally hoped before finding out I was having twins (first pregnancy, DCDA). was thinking hypno/water birth! ha!
have also been reading up about vaginal birth of twins and the risks specifically to the second baby, which can often require intervention and assistance.
would be interested to hear your twin birth stories (both good and bad please.....I'm a strong believer in a full perspective!!) if you had a fully medicalised birth, how did you find it? any regrets? does anyone wish they had instead elected for a c-section?
