@komdiarect Not a mom yet but I’m also going through this! If they are both head down we will definitely try for the vaginal. B is currently breech, so if that stays the same, we will base our decision on which docs are on the floor when I deliver. If I make it to induction, we will schedule so that one of the two docs who are VERY comfortable with a breech B will be available for ~3 days after induction starts.
Unfortunately if I just randomly go into labor we’ll just do whatever the doc on call feels comfortable with.
If it makes you feel any better, my spouse and I did a massive search of how frequently people have to get an emergency c for B after delivering A vaginally. If I recall correctly, something like 4%. Both of my providers who do twins a lot said they have only seen it a handful of times.
Either way, I plan to get an epidural sooner than later so that if we do need to do a C, I don’t need to go under general anesthesia. That is the main thing I want to avoid. I was disappointed when I realized I wouldn’t be able to have an un medicated birth (which I’ve always wanted to try) but not worth the risk of missing it all.
I would talk to your doctors and see how comfortable they are with twin deliveries in different scenarios. For us, the confidence of those two doctors was what made us feel comfortable with the choice we’ve made.
