@ntlfr8 I got both in one event!
36 and 6, attempt at vaginal, got way to strong if an epidural and couldn’t feel myself pushing…. (My advice ti all moms is that tell the anesthesiologist that you still want to feel yourself push!) … By the time baby A was born baby B was no longer head down and the placenta had moved between baby B and the birth canal AND my dilation had gone smaller. Too dangerous if a situation to try to have baby B vaginally, so we went to c-section.
I was already prepped for surgery and on a surgery room with a team on standby since all of that precaution was standard for twin births in my state (California), plus I was over the age of 35 which put me the “geriatric pregnancy” realm
So it was all of five minutes after me giving the go-ahead for the emergency c-section that it was happening.
Crazy times. The doctor said this only happens to 2% of twin births (this = having both vaginal and c-section).
The worst part about the c-section was the amount of drugs I was pumped with… I switched to a high strength ibuprofen within 12 hours of having the c-section. They send me home with roxi-codone (sp?), I got it filled but never ended up using it. I was fine on the 800 mg of ibuprofen.
