Breech twins....what is labor like
Hi Everyone
I am having 2 girls....I am 36 1/2 weeks and both are in breech presentation and have been that way since about 24 weeks. I am trying to find out how different labor is with 1) twins 2) breech. Everyone says that I have far to 'drop'. I am wondering if this occurs as much with Twins and breech positions. I have dropped, I feel like their little legs are going to kick out of my cervix, but people say I have a ways to go. Is onset of labor usually late because of the breech presentation? If so, is there anything I can do? walking maybe or is it just a much longer process? Thanks To everyone......I can't wait to see my girls....and I am SOOOO ready. |

Are you saying that if they stay breech, you will go through labor and
try to deliver vaginally? I would think that if they do not turn your doctor will just schedule a C-section, or maybe just a quick u/s when you do start labor to check their final positions? Ellen |

Oh no, it will be a c-section. However, if I go into labor on my own
it will not have to be scheduled....I would prefer it this way. I don't know why, but I don't like the idea of picking a date....let them pick when they want to come. My doc told me that their being breech was working against me because their heads aren't pushing on my cervix. I was just wondering what other people have experienced. |

OK, Tina, that makes more sense! I really don't know what, if any,
effect the breech presentation has on the onset of labor. I would think not much, but I'm not sure. In any event, best wishes to you for a safe and healthy delivery! Take care, Ellen ----------------- Erin 6/95 Bradley & Alex 10/00 |

Breech twins....what is labor like
Thanks everyone for the replies. I have had contactions for over 24
hours now....but they die out and then start again. I know they are probably just the beginning pangs (as they are uncomfortable but not painful) but my husband and I are getting so antsy to meet the girls (they are our first). I am just impatient and it seems that whenever I speak with someone, they tell me that labor feels completely different from what I was told yesterday! I actually have a friend who had twins and didn't realize she was in labor. They found out because she was having an NST done. She never bled, no mucus plug, nothing. Sigh.....well I will just have to be patient and wait until my girls are ready. Thanks Again |
