Vaginal birth or c section with twins?

[Lipsticktraces]

I’m 28+4 with twins. I saw my consultant yesterday and was told that they don’t want me to go past 37 weeks.

We discussed birth options. I had been 100% sure I wanted a c section, but now I’m not so sure. Consultant told me that there is no advantage to babies if I have a c section and that it makes bonding/breastfeeding harder. My other option is induction at 37 weeks and an epidural. Consultant did make it clear that it is my decision and hospital will go with whatever I want to do.

Really don’t know how I feel now. Would really appreciate others thoughts/experiences. I’m 39 and this is my first (and definitely last) pregnancy,

Congratulations lipstick, that's fantastic news that you made it so far!

Make sure you get all the sleep you can while your twins are being looked after at night time in Nicu!

Thank you @DaisyChops. I’m definitely making the most of my sleep while they are in there. Also quite enjoying my liquid morphine and three square a day on the post natal ward

I also recommend the anti inflammatory suppository, I think I agreed to it a bit too enthusiastically as I'd had it before with my other children and knew how great it was!!

Congratulations!

Well done! Oh you're in for a wonderful adventure. If exhausting at first! Congratulations

Congrats!! Mine were 3.12 and 4.15. They are now 6 mos old and going for their settling in session at nursery on Weds. It goes fast!

Congratulations! 💐
