Delivering Twins
I met with my OB and high risk doctor today. I'm 34 weeks 2 days and both babies are head down. I was told today that I no longer have to have my cervical length checked or an fFN. I was also taken off of bed rest and can start moving / walking around again. I just have to see my OB weekly and have an NST / BPP.
What I'm nervous about is both doctors believe I'm going to make it to 38 weeks and can deliver these babies vaginally. I don't know if I'm going to make it that long but I'm so nervous about the delivery. My fear is having two different recoveries.
I was just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. I'm so nervous.

Re: Delivering Twins
I delivered both babies vaginally at 36 weeks 6 days. Everything progressed on its own. I did sit on the yoga ball that weekend and took my daughter for a walk in the stroller. My whole labor was about an hour and a half and I was already 7 cm when I got to the hospital. I delivered about an hour and a half later. Both babies were head down and I pushed them both out in about 10 min. Baby B came 4 in after Baby A. I barely tore, only needed 2 stitches. They were both in the 5 lb range. I would highly recommend trying even if they come at 38 weeks! If both babies are head down you have a great chance of a vaginal delivery!

Re: Delivering Twins
You made me feel so much better, Leslie...thank you!!
I'm hoping to make it to 36 weeks...I think 38 is pushing it! Both  are around 5 pounds. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that they both remain head down...I don't want baby B to flip.
Hope you are feeling good and you're enjoying your  !

Re: Delivering Twins
I delivered twins at 35 weeks 5 and baby A was head down and Baby B was not but my Drs said they would let me deliver them vaginally because most of the time Baby B will turn...he did! They are 18 min apart. Good luck!
