TWINS!!

[JessFreddie12]

So I found out I’m pregnant and although this was not planned, me and my partner are pleased about it... apart from I went for an early scan to find out how far along I was and was told I’m expecting identical twins!! Having twins is always something I’ve been so scared about, it’s not the thought of bringing them up I know I won’t have an issue with that it’s the fact I know I will most likely have a c-section that’s my biggest nightmare and everyone keeps telling me how exciting This is gonna be but I’m so sorry worried about having a c-section I can’t really think of anything else. This is my second pregnancy and I had a complete natural birth with my first. Has anyone else ever felt this way... and if anyone has had twins please give me as many tips as possible 😂

Congratulations! I can’t give much advice but my friend had twins and delivered them both naturally. Good luck! X

Not sure if this helps in terms of the delivery but my friend had 3 children: one natural, one by induction and one by c-section and she said if she had a choice she would pick c-section any day. That's just one experience but there you go

I have twins and well remember the feeling of shock turning to excitement when we first found out and they are 10 now.

It will take a few days to sink in, people will be excited/a bit giddy for you, everyone burst out laughing for some reason when we told them! Our first child had turned 1 when we found out so we had 3 under 2 for a few months, fun times! ;)

For now just let it sink in, read up on boards like this, ask questions plenty of time to think about delivery etc.

Congratulations :)

Oh I had regular delivery on first and section due to position of babies on twins, pros and cons to both, it will be ok.

Congratulations!

You can choose how to give birth, and many low risk women give birth to twins vaginally, but if you are recommended a caesarean for the safely of your twins, I hope you do so.

Congratulations!

If they’re in a good position there’s no reason why you can’t try for a natural birth. I have a couple of friends who have delivered twins naturally and also know if somebody who had triplets naturally too. Obviously an element of luck is involved, but cross your fingers!

I can understand your concern though. I had a CS with DD1 and a VBAC with DD2. I’m 25w with no. 3 and wanting another natural delivery but am worrying for no reason that he’ll be breach!

Good luck!

Congratulations! Twins are awesome :). Fwiw I carried mine until 39 weeks and no c-section. Of all the twin mums I know, and that's quite a few, only 1 had a c-section so it's definitely not a given.

Hi op. Your post sounds pretty identical to me. My first dc was born through natural delivery and the thought of a c section terrified me.

With my identical twins I was advised as long as twin 1 was head down I could give birth naturally as twin 2 could be turned or they may turn them self round once the first baby was delivered.

Things didn't go to plan and twin 1 stayed in breech position so I had a c section. The actual procedure is amazing as you literally just lay down as your precious babies are delivered to you it's honestly nothing to worry about!

Obviously recovery after takes longer and you do need to take things slowly. As long as you don't over do it you will heal before you know it.

My twins are almost 3 and a real joy!

Congratulations!

Thanks everyone’s its really helped.. I have been told by midwife that as long as babies are in the right position then there’s no reason why not and obviously if there was any danger to me or babies I would not have any problem with it it’s just the thought terrifies me 😂 gonna keep my fingers crossed.. also if anyone know any girl double barred name please feel free to let me know we have our boys names but really struggling with girl names!!
