Twins natural or C-section??

So I'm due to have twins, one is head down and one is breech. Has anyone had a breech delivery or attempted to have baby turned even in single pregnant? How successfully was turning I hear it's painful but I'm worried if baby doesn't turn. I now have the decision if I should go natural or C-section in the next week or so 😱

Hi, I had a baby who was breech but turned on their own a week or so before I gave birth. Babies can also turn right before giving birth as well but discuss at length with your provider. I’d say that If you want to give birth naturally, you should give yourself the chance and worst case, the option for a C-section will always be available to you. Hope it helps xo

Didn't have a breech baby myself and don't know of anyone who had their baby's turned. Just know of a couple of successful breech deliveries:

My cousin's wife was pregnant with twins. The boy was born head first, which then created a space for the girl. She turned at the last minute and ended up breech, so was delivered feet first. They were trying to get her to have a C section at that point, but she refused, as her other 3 children were born naturally.

My next door neighbour went into early labour with a breech baby (her second child). They sent her home and her husband ended up delivering the baby (feet first).

All children/mums are healthy and well.

I had 3 normal deliveries and my youngest 4th was premature in breech position. Doctors had convinced me to have C-section but they did not have enough time to prepare because I have started to push.

It was the easiest delivery of all.
The least painful.
She was nearly 2.5 kg at 34 weeks. I have two wombs and two cervixes. Doctors were scared my daughter will stuck on vaginal septum but it went really fast and smoothly.

My auntie had her 2nd son in breach position at 40 weeks of pregnancy. She has never complained that it was worse than normal delivery.

Every person I know developed infection after C-section and struggled with pain. After normal birth you are ready to take care of your little babies straight away.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
