Default Twin Birth..


Is it good for the mother to undergo normal delivery for a twin? I mean what can you suggest the best way to give birth for a twin?

You can most certainly deliver twins vaginally! I know of a couple of friends who did just that. I also know of friends who underwent c-sections. Much of it depends upon the positioning of the twins, the health of mother and babies, and how the labor is progressing. I think many OBs are quick to recommend a CSection when a woman is perfectly capable of delivering her babies vaginally.
I don't think there is any "best way" to give birth to twins. How it happens depends upon many factors, and thus however it happens was best for the parents and their babies!

Yep, totally agreeing with Stephanie here. Too many doctors these days are going with C-sections for convenience's sake instead of letting things progress as God intended. If the mom runs into trouble, there is nothing wrong with switching to c-section if necessary, but so often it isn't necessary.

The best delivery is vaginal. You avoid the added strain of trying to recover from a c-section. Your doctors probably won't make you go through your whole labor if one of the twins is still "heads up" in utero though. If one is still heads up then they will probably just do a c-section.

When I had my twins, they were both head down and so I delivered vaginally. Everything went fin, they are now in their early 30's!
