Had my twins vaginally in the OR. Was induced & Baby A came flying out -- dr. and nurse said it wasn't time, but they could barely get me in there. Baby B was sunny-side up so he came out 2 long hours later, all purple, but at 3.5 he is now a big, tough bruiser. [ Reply | More ]

reconstructive surgery is sometimes performed if natural birth stretches the vagina so much so that it causes discomfort and makes sex unpleasurable. Clear enough? [ Reply | More ]

you're nuts. Do you think that's common ? Regularly done ? Something most women do ? Enough Doctor 90210 for you. Take Dr. Ray off the speed dial. [ Reply | More ]

why so agro and reading things into the original question? no where did it state that such a thing is regularly done? that was not the point. it was a question this particular woman who had given birth to twins and how it affected her body. calm down. [ Reply | More ]

I'm preety calm, thanks for your concern, but the woman needing a bit of calm is the person responding to a simple "I had twins" vaginally" to "did you have reconstruction ?" That's a big wacky jump, wouldn't you say ? [ Reply | More ]

why? that could have been the original point of op's query in the first place. c-section v. natural birth with twins and the effect it has on a woman's body. this is not a highly charged issue or a "wacky jump." I don't understand why you have such a problem with the topic. [ Reply | More ]

You realize that it's much more likely to have problems with stretching/tearing on a first delivery than a subsequent one? So that second twin is like nothing - whatever damage might have been done would already be done. [ Reply | More ]

I see. I assumed it would be putting even more pressure on the area with a second one. [ Reply | More ]

actually, that's not more likely, it's the common mismanagement of labor these days that's the problem. [ Reply | More ]

C-section is quicker and easier with less chance for complication. [ Reply | More ]

less complications for the baby, you mean. maternal deaths from c-sections are vastly underreported (and apparently not much of a concern for anyone). [ Reply | More ]

np: I know a bunch of people who have in the US. It really depends on the person - many people don't want to go through labor and pushing knowing there is a decent chance they will also then get a c-section. Others are okay with the idea and try anyway. [ Reply | More ]

By natural do you mean without drug or vaginally? I had mine vaginally . They were both head down, weeks before delivery and it worked for me. Generally it depends on the position of the first whether vag. birth is an option. I delivered in an OR with an epi that way if there was a problem they could do the c-section. [ Reply | More ]

Having twins naturally is common. I had my first single birth c-section. He was breeched. I absolutely hated it. I got pregnant with twins a couple years later and had them VBAC(vaginal after c-section. it's really up to your doctor for this situation. For yours, there is no reason (healthy I assume)for your doctor to just schedule a c-section. It's more money, more painful,more traumatic , and less bonding for the new family. Just try ti have them naturally and let nature takes it;s course, if you can't you can't. No big deal. [ Reply | More ]
