DCDA twin spontaneous labour

Has anyone with twins opted out of being induced and waited for a spontaneous labour? Any stories or advise would be really helpful. I'd really like to try for a spontaneous labour if possible and abit over whelmed with the medical advise.

Everyone I know with DCDA twins went into spontaneous labour but they actually never made their site date / c section date / induction date - including myself - I had mine at 34 weeks

I Wouldn't have wanted to risk my babies though by going past the recommended 37 weeks

I wouldn't go against medical advice and wait for spontaneous labour with twins as it increases the risk of stillbirth.

Our twin 1 turned breech between 32 & 36 weeks. They gave me the option of 3 days or 9 days to allow her the chance to turn on her own, I opted for 9 days but she stayed put so I went with elcs bang on 38wk. They were 8lb 5oz & 8lb 11oz at that point so it would have been crazy to keep them in any longer in the hopes of turning and going in to spontaneous labour. I'd had 3 vb's prior to them anyway so it's not like I missed out on anything.

I'm being induced on Monday. I will be 35+4 and being induced for medical reasons. I wouldnt go against medical advice although I'm absolutely dreading having to go on the drip again
