I am nearly halfway through my pregnancy with twins and since way before i got pg i have been worrying about the birth. All this time I've been leaning towards a section as rightly or wrongly i see it as a less risky way to give birth. Im scared of the prospect of birth injuries and the risk of an emcs, especially of having the first one vaginally and the second by emcs. I haven't yet spoken to a senior consultant about the risks of both am hoping to do that next week.
My midwife and doctor i did see say they will be pushing me towards a vaginal birth. Im trying to keep an open mind and am considering doing a hypnobirthing course to try and help me alleviate my concerns around vaginal birth. My twins have separate sacs and placentas.
So I'm looking for other people' experiences really and reassurance of twin births. Can anyone help?
