c-section v. vaginal delivery?
Hello, I am expecting my twin girls to arrive sometime in early April. Right now, baby "B" is in a breech position but A is not, and my obstetrician says I can go for a vaginal delivery. He would just have to take baby "B" out by the legs, which he has done many a time. I have full confidence in my dr. and it seems the decision will be up to me.
So--my question is, if given the choice, which would you do? I delivered my four-year old son vaginally and although it was not ideal (12 hrs with pitocin to assist--different doctor than I have now!), I could do it again. I am interested to see how many of you delivered one twin vaginally and then had to have a c-section. If you had a c-section for both twins, are you glad you did? Is there anyone who has given birth by both methods at different times, and recommends one over the other? My dr. doesn't think there will be much risk of needing a c-section after delivering the first vaginally, but I am still interested to hear about others' experiences. thanks!

I'm expecting my twins in June, so I didn't deliver them yet, but my Dr. also said that at times he can take 1 out vaginally if it's in the right position, but if the other one isn't he can try to manually turn it the right way. If it's still breech, he'd do the 2nd one as a c-section.
