I love this thread. Great to see so many Vaginal births. I really thought the section rate would be higher.
Well done twin mums.

It's not a choice in most cases to have a section !! (maybe I'm being sensitive...)

I agree knockmeup. I would have definitely preferred vaginal on the twins. Consultant just wouldn't let me with twin2 breech and him being the heavier one too. At same time, in hindsight, the section was not bad at all. Even recovery was better/quicker than expected.

Where is the time going?! :-/

I don't think babesno3 meant anything about choice. Remember when you were pregnant with twins, EVERYONE assumes that it will be section. I know when I mentioned vag delivery to anyone who asked, they were shocked. It'd be lovely if everyone got the choice but even with singletons, that's not the case.
