Labor with di/di twins
Show your support
Hello! I had a vaginal birth with my di/di twins. Yes, they did have to break both my waters right before starting to push (and it felt so good haha, my belly went FLAT). I can't remember if they broke one and then I delivered Baby A and then they broke the second one and I delivered Baby B. However, the twins were born within 12 minutes of each other and there was no additional pain involved. It was kind of nice I got a small break in between. ;) I delivered Baby A, and was in heaven to see him. They held Baby B back while the nurse team switched out (each baby has a team!) and told me to wait to continue. Everything went so fast I think my body just paused. Within 5 minutes I got the go-ahead, contractions continued... but I was already fully dilated so it was just another (shorter) round of pushing. Baby A took about 12-18 pushes and Baby B took maybe 3.
Thank you both!! I’ve been so nervous thinking about it lol this made me feel a little better
Yes, you have 2 waters to break. After baby A was born my doctor just reached in and broke the second water herself and I went into labor again. It all went much quicker tho, baby B was born 26 minutes later.
It will all be okay! I promise you baby B is gonna come out way quicker than baby B. 😊
Yep 2 sacs! Neither of mine broke on their own. They broke twin A’s in the evening and I delivered them next morning. Baby A came out, I said a brief hello and had a rest for a minute or so while they broke baby b’s water. Then I pushed him out. They were born 5 mins apart I probably pushed for under 2 mins with my son. Hope that helps!
