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.
