Can you give birth vaginally in CA if twin A is head down and twin B is breech?

I’ll be moving to Modesto

I was in this situation exactly. They said i could try it if i wanted. But there is a risk of emergency c section if baby b didn’t turn when baby a was out. Also depends on your doc if she’ll try breech extraction. I did elected c section because of the unknown.

What city in California did you give birth if I may ask?

I’ve heard it’s more common to have a c section with multiple babies in womb unfortunately but as long as you and your babies are safe that’s all that matters 🫶🏽

I’m not sure what the US or CA is like with twin births but in the UK we have to advocate for natural births now as hospitals are funded more when they intervene. I was tired of being fear mongered into thinking that birthing is a medical condition and must have epidural and or caesarean for twins. Often the hospitals don’t give a chance for successful natural twin births so they don’t witness it and therefore project that onto every patient making them feel uncertain.m and fearful.
I am pregnant with twins currently twin B is breech however once twin A is out naturally the will ensure that twin B doesn’t flip or starfish ☺️ if you have a good midwife they will usually share that breech births do not have to be as scary as we are often told. My OB has now agreed to a natural breech extraction. I only share this in hope that it gives a rounded perspective. You know your body more than them and always have a choice and a right to ask what your options are and why. Good luck and lots of🤍🤍

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
