Your Dr. scheduled a C-section as it is best for you & the babies!

All the physicians I work with want the presenting twin (A) to be vertex if you are to attempt a vaginal delivery. Obviously you have the ultimate control here and have the right to consent to surgery or not. Eventually you will go into labor at some point and if you refuse to consent to surgery they essentially are forced to deliver you. But I don't think that's a wise decision. Even though twins tend to be smaller and theoretically it would be less risky attempting a breech delivery, there is still risk of baby becoming stuck and then subsequently the baby can go into distress from low oxygen. IMO isn't worth taking the risk of a breech delivery when it comes to your baby's well-being / life. Why are you unable to take narcotics? Allergies? Some other reason? There are many choices for medications, different types of narcotics. If you are concerned about breastfeeding and narcotics, the meds they prescribe are safe and very little passes through the milk, there is plenty of research to back that up. I think you should discuss your specific concerns with your doctor.<br><b>References : </b><br>RN, OB, L&D Generally the answer is no.

They offered to try to turn him but the rates for him turning was like 20% chance they can turn him because he had gotten so big. You should ask and see if they could turn him/her. I don't know if they could do that to one of them or not but it is offered for just a single baby. You may be to far along now. I know everyone is different but I have to honestly say with my c-section I was in the hospital for 3 days and then went home and 2 days later I was doing everything I was normally doing and not taking any pain med. Good luck ;) and CONGRATS on the twins!<br><b>References : </b><br>mom of 2 yr old and 21 weeks prego My son was breeched and I had to have a c-section.
