Im currently in the hospital right now and just finished watching this video, im 31 weeks 6 days pregnant with twin girls via surrogacy, i am 4cm dilated and still holding them. I am definitly trying to have a vaginal birth and the hospital here is all for it. I hope i can! Thanks for sharing this its beautiful!!
aaah! i love the 8 pound twins. thats just fabulous. i doubt that would have happened had they been born by c-section. >_< its sad that doctors seem to be losing the ability to deliver multiples naturally... its even more sad that women CHOOSE to have c-sections, even when pregnant with just one baby. that just blows my mind.
i had twins back in 2009! one boy and one girl, they were born at 35 w 0d, and the dr i had insisted i HAD to have a c/s, but i said no both are head down i wanted to at least try, she insisted i even have meds and i said no. she said i was crazy that i didnt want any, my labor was just under a hour and both babies came out head down! baby a(boy) was 6 lbs 2 oz, and baby b (girl) was 5lbs 10oz, big for early! and only needed a little help outside the womb! glad we put our feet down for no c/s!
This only shows the success stories... what about the many others where the results are not favorable? This is too one sided for me to accept. I'm 26 weeks with twins and I want to make sure I get the best care I need for my babies.. naturally or with medical assistance if needed.
@vshowers37 The other side of the issue is presented every day, on TV, in doctor's offices, and in comments from well-meaning but ill-informed friends and family. This wasn't made to be a balanced view; it was meant to be an encouragement to ask questions, learn more, and be an involved participant in your birth experience.
@vshowers37 The problem is that when interventions are started like pitocin, rupturing the membranes, epidural etc then MORE interventions are needed to counteract the first ones like fetal monitoring, i.v, and c-section. This is bad for mom and baby! educate yourself about what CAUSES most of these so called "needed medical interventions" The longer you wait to go to the hospital and the less docs mess w you, the better off you and BABY will be! Men know only what they are "taught" by books!
Wow I did not stick it out to watch the whole thing to be honest; however, this is pretty much awesome. I'm glad my mom had me naturally too, I was a twin ;)
Im very proud to say my twin girls were born naturally! I had them at hospital after 16 hour labour, Mckenzie was born at 8.04 pm weighing 5lb and Francessca was born at 8.16pm also weighing 5lb! Before watching this video i was sure i had no choice about delivery but you ladies inspired me and the birth of the girls was a magical experience :) thankyou
I had an OB try and bully me into a C-section because my second twin was breech. But my husband and I insisted on vaginal birth. After I had Twin A, the doctors started to prep for a C-section and again we put our foots down and asked if they could at least try and turn Twin B (because the doctor's weren't willing to deliver breech). When the OB broke Twin B's water, I pushed hard and deliver Twin B breech! The OBs were not happy with me but I wasn't about to let them slice into me for NO reason
I've only had single births, one natural and one c-section, and recovery after a natural birth is TOPS compared to surgery. I love how these moms knew what they wanted for themselves and their babies and got it.. much applause! What song plays throughout the video? I love it!
Oh this is SO wonderful! I've been laughing and in tears the whole video! So great to see so many wonderful, natural birth stories with multiples!!! Great job!!!
I'm Sherry. I had a midwife assisted HBAC (home birth after cesarean) with my twins at home at 39 weeks. The first baby was a water birth. The second was posterior and I birthed her on hands and knees. Savannah and Sylvia were 5 lbs. 12 oz. each, 19" long each. They were identical MODI with one placenta. That's Mono-Chorionic, Di-Amniotic to those unfamiliar with the term MODI. They shared the outer sac, but had separate inner sacs. I love home birth. :)
yes! we have to see someone has done it to imagine it is possible. There's a whole chapter on multiples in the book Natural Hospital Birth that can help, too.
Natural birth of twins at 38w2days in a hospital. IUGR of baby A (4lbs 1oz), and baby B (7lbs 2oz) was a footling breech. First contraction to baby A: 1 hour 25 mins, and baby B 20 minutes later. I am so glad that I was able to find a midwife and OB that supported my decision to TRY for a natural delivery and their support and encouragment!
This is a great montage! I had identical twin boys at 33+5 weeks naturally in hospital in the UK. Twin 1 was head down, but Twin 2 was transverse, luckily he headed in the right direction following his brother! I had a choice of 5 obstetricians, only 1 would allow a natural twin birth!!! They are 13 years old now and I now work as a NICU nurse and I'm still amazed at how many multiples are born by c-section!
thankyou for posting this.. I just got pregnant and I want to have a natural birth but my mother and family think its not safe. this made me feel like i can do it.
@justinbieberizhot100 I don't know, but I posted it to my Facebook wall & one of my friends who is a labor and delivery nurse was shocked by it. She said something along the line of, "Oh my God. You are not suggesting that twins and triplets should be born at home, are you?!?!?" I had to remind her, "Why not? My twins were born at home." I also pointed out that many women in this video were birthing in the hospital. I suspect that HER hospital does not "Allow" women to birth twins vaginally.
I had a 10lb 5oz baby girl at home in 1978, 5 years after having a 7lb 3oz baby boy in a hospital-then was told I couldn't deliver a baby over 7lbs naturally. In 1984 I had a full footling breech, 8lb 1oz baby boy at home as well.Hospitals create SO many preventable situations by intervening when it is not needed =C-sections galore and huge profits.
You have indicated 60% of all twin births are born by c-section but what I find even more alarming is 33% of all births in the USa are born by c-section compared to approximatly 10% elsewhere in the world. Is it because a c-section can be performed in a fraction ot the time as a vaginal birth and at a much high fee from the physician or are c-sections performed at the slightest complications because of fear of malpractice suits? Ambulance chasers don't help the issue. Physians,do comment!
That's awesome to see that these woman pushed for and got their natural births, I seriously feel sometimes that woman with twins don't have much of a choice whether or not their doctors decisions are backed up by fear or research, what a great video!!
I thank you for showing Twin VBAC is very possible. i was told by Doctor's this was not only possible but it would not be possible for me at all because I had a complete tubial ligation and that I would never get pregnant. I was told invitro would be a waste of time because the tubes that carry eggs are totally removed and gone for ever. Well, I still BELIEVE, BELIEVE, BELIEVE. Now, advanced maternal age is in my face in fact ,I am older than all those women looks like it.
This is so inspiring. Even with no personal twin birth experience, it's wonderful to see such an intimate homage to the women who have. Truly heartwarming.
This is awesome! I am a mother of twins too! I naturally delivered twins 8 years ago at 32 weeks. Twin A was 4lbs 15oz and Twin B was born breach 2 minutes later at 3lbs 6oz. Good job ladies it can be done!
HOOO-RAY! For multiple MOMMAS & BABES! I'm one & have some! My "babies" are now 23! I can hardly believe it ! And love them so much! 3 rd pregnancy finale' ! Great montage' & song! Thanks! Wish I could do it again!
im starting nursing school in the fall. i want to be a midwife. i think natural birth is so wonderful and i would like to give that opportunity to more woman.
I'm a triplet!! I am one of three girls conceived without medicine. :) I am 19 years old. My mom had complications between 30-32 weeks and started shutting down when they took her in. She died three weeks later. I am really glad I saw this video because I know that it can be done! This video makes me happy. Thanks for posting!
Awesome video!! Wish I saw this before I had my twins. I would've fought to have them natural. I wanted a natural birth but my son was in a breach position and the doctors urged me to have a ceserean. I didn't know I had a choice. =( But they're here now. They'll be 5 next month and they're healthy!! That's all that matters..
Gosh I was bigger than some of them at 38 weeks with one baby! I almost hope to have twins with my next one but my body could barely handle one. There is hope though <3
As an obstetrician- present as a new mom had triplets, vaginally in a birthing bed- I applaud this video. It is inspiring! ! I believe in the encouragement at the end- can't we at least TRY??
What an amazing video. I have only had 2 singletons, my last son born naturally using hypnobirthing. I am currently a gestational surrogate mother waiting to find out if I am expecting twins. Huge congrats to all the mothers here with multiples willing to do this naturally. I hope that I am able to give my intended parents two bundles of joy!!!!! You girls are amazing!!!
it's the first in my family's generation of having twins i got two girls both are in cephalic position my baby A is positioned cephalic but my baby B is oblique cephalic. oh well so much for natural birth (which my mom did when she had me and my 6 other siblings)...hoping their positions would change by my 36th week...i have to deliver them in C-section. I'm thankful for having a supportive family and dependable medical help from my OB.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Beautiful video, this was amazing!!! I would ♥ to be blessed with twins when we finally get pregnant. The Hubby and I have been trying for 18 mnths with various complications...but miracles do happen. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Can you have a natural birth if Baby A is breech? I have a homebirth midwife and a doctor who both say no. Don't want to risk the babies so we'll do what we need to do. Any thoughts?
My daughter is 39 weeks 2 days with twins both vertex and just waiting for labor to kick in. She's deterimed to have a natural, unmedicated birth for both but is aware that if she or babies are in distress , intervention is necessary for survival of all. She's truly amazing . I await my first grandchildren with such anticipation!
I love this video! Expecting twins any day (currently 36w 3d) and after presenting my birth plan to doctor and him being the pessimist ,even though he delivered my natural breech son, I needed this lift. Thanks for doing this!
Mom to four including twins. Love this video. Remember when baby is 6+ months get the baby feeding tray designed by a mother of twins. It grows with your twins or triplets
Im 25 weeks with twin boys (their my first) and this video is so wonderful to watch, but of course i cant help but cry my eyes out thru the whole thing :`) happy tears tho :`)
Thanks for making this video its great for a first timer like me to have some positive stories, cuz for some reason ppl always have horror stories to give instead.
Amazing and BRAVE! Its good to see that there are midwives and obstetricians still willing to back women up in their ever diminishing choices. we need professionals with this experience. Well done all those ladies!
The amount of natural hospital births in this is very reassuring to me! I've become so disenchanted with hospital birth and obstetricians that I was beginning to think it just didn't happen anymore, thank you for this video!
@taylorexnicole I'm the second Erika in the video (Rory and Tiger's mom) and we did all seem to pick somewhat unusual names with our twins. Rory was named after an actor, and Tiger was named after the animal, not the golfer!
Awesome video! I am secretly hoping for twins with my next pregnancy (well, it's a secret from my husband) since we already have three, which is how many we agreed on when we got married. (and I swore I was never having another and that my husband was never coming near me again while in labor with my first lol) Since our three are all boys, I was able to convince him to try for another (not very hard to do) in the hopes of getting a daughter.
Gosh - I'm expecting twins Sept 6th, and, I'm nervous. After seeing this video it gives me great hope and faith in my body and the twins. I was with tears in my eyes watching this!! Thank you.
very,very awesome, I had a hospital birth with my vbac twins, but if I had had the information at the time, my uncomplicated hospital birth would've been at home, my next two births were at home... yeah for all mom's of multiples...
I was planning a HWbac but then found out it was twins...I'm in Italy where nobody would do that and the best I can hope is a hospital Vbac or at least Trial of labour... I cried at this video cause I hope I'll be able to think of myself among those lucky ones that made it in the future...
I wrote on this video a year ago. I was keen to have my 3HVBA1C.
Sadly, I couldn't do it. My body let me down - I ended up the 1% of twin pregnancies that ended in double transverse lying twins.
I spent 2 days in labour at home, I had convinced myself 'they would turn naturally in labour, as babies do' but sadly, on day 3 I took myself to hospital and a scan confirmed my fate - Emergency caesarean section. I feel deeply saddened by this experience, So many other women can do it - why not me? xx
@sonia205 Each of us does what is the right thing for our unique situations. You did the right thing for you and your babies, and while you might grieve that things didn't turn out how you hoped (as we all go through a grief process when a hope is lost, even as we celebrate the joy of new babies), you can know you did the right thing.
@BornBlessed2011 Yams have a natural chemical in them that increase the chance of multiples. There is a tribe in Africa that eat primarily Yams, and they have the highest twin birth rate in the world.
@BornBlessed2011 I am sorry- but as an experienced OB it is my duty to let you know- the situation of twins (or higher) is unsafe by nature. There is no doctor with any ethics who would help you try this- too dangerous for the baby. OF COURSE a mother who is already expecting twins gets all the help medical care can offer. But it is not ethical to help make such a risky situation...
amazing natural births!!!!!! i had a cesarean and my hospital does allow vback and i really want one...i wish i had the courage and support tho. my husband and family are very much into rushing a cesarean if things dont happen in my favor...if anyone knows of a support system of vbac contact me :) thanks.
Why do many of these people not have normal names for their children? like, Tiger, and Cedric? Inspirational video though. I am a student studying Early Childhood Education and was looking for a video on high risk babies. Their are a a lot of twins and my family "I almost was one", so if one day I do have Twins I know this is possible.
THANK YOU for putting this wonderful video together. It busts a lot of myths out there about multiples and natural birth that need to be said - so much of what people think they really 'know' about it is based on fear and ignorance. Women need to advocate for themselves and realize that they DO have choices. Bravo!
I had my twins (who are almost 2) vaginally. We had planned on birthing at a birth center, but I began having blood pressure issues, so we transferred to the hospital a few hours before they were born. My daughter (Baby A) was born in the tub, and my son was born breech 7 minutes later.
IMMA TAKE MY BOW FOR BEIN A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWINS GIRL- BRIONNE AND BOY- BRAYSON. HAVIN KIDS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE MULTIPLE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I THANK GOD FOR MY 2 BLESSINGS, AND I ALSO WANNA CLAP IT UP FOR ALL PARENTS WHO ARE OUT HERE DOIN WUT THEY GOTTA DO FOR THEIR KIDS WETHER YOUR SINGLE OR INVOLVED BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE
Im 21 weeks pregnant with Twins and this was a great video to watch, first it showed me that even though I feel big now, I've got A LOT to "look forward" to, second it really gives me hope and inspiration to work hard to keep healthy and keep these babies in as long as possible - it's possible to have twins naturally that weigh well over 6 pounds each - so inspirational! Whatever happens I'll be happy, but it's really helpful for those of us going through this to see the possibilities :) thanks!
I had my g/g/g triplets natural....... in the ambulance...on the way to the hospital! They were almost 34 weeks and were 4lbs 10oz, 4lbs 2oz, and 4lbs 6oz. Baby B even came out breech!
I love this video. I watched it numerous times while I was pregnant with my boy/boy twins last year for inspiration...I was determined to have my boys vaginally barring any complications. I am very happy to say that I did get my wish, and gave birth to my boys at 39 weeks 6 days vaginally in a regular delivery room at my local hospital! Even more satisfying, it was my 4th VBAC. It was an amazing birth experience, and I am so grateful to everyone who supported me along the way, including you!
I first watched this video when i was 24 weeks pregnant with our first set or triplets. Everyone had told me that i wasn't going to be able to give birth naturally to 3 babies, but after watching this, i stopped doubting myself. Now, were pregnant with triplets again! Thank you so much for this video. (We have 2 sets of twins, both sets were born at a Birthing Center, Our triplets were born at a hospital, and these babies will hopefully be a natural birth as well)
This is a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I had my son at home and I wish all women could feel the joy, peace and freedom that comes in a home birth.
Good video - gets the message across that you can do it naturally. Interestingly, in my twins ante-natal class, 6 out of the 8 women ended up with c-sections, mostly due to various complications (pre-eclampsia, obstetric cholestasis) and therefore the doctors not wanting to risk the babies' - or mothers - lives.
Anyway, for a lighter look at some of the *unbelieveable* things people say to mothers of twins, search for 'moms of multiples - post birth issues'. Enjoy!
I have a huge amount of admiration for all these women...and I am a twin mum!! Except my ID twin girls were born @ 25 weeks gestation... one vaginally, one C Section! ha ha
31 weeks preggo w/ g/g twins baby A is head down and baby B is butt down. Hospital told me that I have to have a c-section it's their policy. I am tempted to not go to the hospital since my previous 2 births were natural why cant this one be that way as well.
Love this video, thank you! One word-Doula!!! Get experienced labour professionals to assist with your physician or midwife. My doctor said he wished all the nurses would become doulas, it reduces complications and interventions drasically.
My twins were born vaginally in a hospital at 36w 6 days - Baby A was 6 lbs 3 oz and Baby B was 5 lbs 14 oz :) I was the most popular mom at the hospital because they hadn't seen a v-birth of twins in over 10 years!!! I would have had them by C if i had to, i just feel lucky that i didn't :)
I want to say THANK YOU for this amazing video!!! A dear friend (internet) is in this video and we went through our twin pregnancies together... We both had very different birth stories/plans... she got hers :) I did not... but in the end we both got what we wanted... our amazing precious babes in our hands safely and alive... for my twins it was touch and go (because of my health not theirs).... I want to thank you for sharing these stories !!! THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!
What a great video! my OB was all for a natural birth for my twins, was happy to do frank breech (bum) but not footling...In the end I had to have a c-section at 36+2weeks due to impaired blood flow to my daughters placenta...I did what was best for my twins and their survival...Im so glad though that I had an OB who was more than happy, pushed me really, to want to birth naturally..not alot of women get that from their care providers!
i had a c-section with my son, and for me i think it was the best thing, since he was wrapped in his cord , not just around his neck but around his body also. and i healed up quick. and i was lucky enough to be glued and not stitched or stapled so i don't have a big scar it's very thin and light. i think having twins natural is wonderful and i'm glad so many women can do it ..i think it's easier to do if you don't have complications through out your pregnancy if you have multiples.
gotta say the mother out there weather they be carrying single double or how ever many gotta be real troops for the torture that they go through and this video goes to prove just a little bit of what women do for men so on that note i just want to say thank you to all women out there from a loving father of a 7 year old and one bun in the oven (34 weeks along ) :)
i first saw this video almost a year and a half ago when i was pregnant with my first 2 children twin boys. i was worried about a problems preventing me from natural birth, this video inspired me to not let anyone tell i couldn't have it my way, everyone outside my family said i would have to have a c-section. i show my family this and they believe with me it is possible to have a natural birth of twins. i carried my boys until exactly 37 weeks and gave birth naturally with no pain meds
i really enjoyed this video i am 34 weeks and thisis my first child i have been very adament about doing it natural i have been in pain the past two weeks and i was getting discouraged thinking can i really do this with no epidural or pain med well now after watching this epsecially the mom with the triplets i know she went through alot of pain so if she can do it so can i im encouraged now thanx.
I am twin and my mom have a natural birth and she said ist´s the most great thing delivery two babies, my sister was head down and i was breach we born very well anda my mom so have pain in the labour , i like when she tell me this story she explains it´spainful but ist´s amazing when i had my baby im not fear to has a natural birth :D
Amazing inspirational film! I am very lucky to be mummy to two sets of twins born by Csection. I wish I'd been able to have mine naturally and if I'd seen this before I may have been a bit more insistant with my consultant.
They were fortunately all healthy though and I managed to breastfeed both sets to over a year.
Twins and multiples are truelly amazing. They never cease to amaze me as they grow and develop.
This video is INCREDIBLE. As a doula and childbirth educator, I was amazed to find that I had bought into some of the "myths" about multiple births that this video dispelled! I will definitely be sharing it with any families expecting multiples that I work with/teach! Thank you for sharing! (Still wiping tears from my eyes!)
I just LOVE that last picture where her husband is looking at her in total admiration. I had my daughter natural and my husband was just in awe. It's such an amazing bonding experience. Beautiful video!
i'm currently at 34 weeks pregnant and i've been told the great news that both my boys are head down and if everything else goes well i dont need a caesarean. it sounds odd but a caesarean scares me more than a natural birth. i've also been told i will be induced at my 38 week mark. so i have 4 weeks left woohoo. congrats to all the mums in this video.
@tiggermad i dont know your situation but being induced makes the chance of having a c-section much higher, just so you know. And its NORMAL to be more afarid of a c-section than vaginal birth- its sugery and sugery is scary for most people!
I'm a twin w/ a sister, my grandpa was a twin and i have a twin sister and brother, and I'm hoping i have twins as well by the grace of God. All theses women giving birth in any form is amazing, I pray when my time comes all goes well and i can have sucessful natural birth for my children and me, God Bless Ladies and babies!
Great video, I'm on week 33 with twins. I too have found that everyone expects a csection and are surprised when I tell them I do not have one scheduled and don't plan on scheduling one. I'm in it for the long haul, 40 weeks if possible and want a vaginal delivery. Hopefully everything will continue progressing to allow it.
@AlanaMoniqueX2 Agreed! Just for the record, I'm the one who put this video together, and I've had a cesarean myself (though not for my twins), and it was a harder birth experience than the twins, and I love that baby just as much as any of my others! Motherhood is hard, and twins are miracles. I just wanted to put out some kind of inspiration for moms out there who were hoping for a natural birth that it is sometimes a possibility.
@hpnvideo I gave birth to both of my sets of twins vaginally. The first set was induced at 35 weeks because of pre-eclampsia and second set was spontaneous at 37 weeks with only a three hour labour. Both sets are boy/girl and both my girls - both Twin B - were breech. I was keen to avoid a c-section as the idea terrified me, especially during my second pregnancy because the thought of recovering from surgery while caring for four children did not appeal, but thankfully a c/s wasn't needed :o)
@hpnvideo Thank you so much for inspiring me! The way your babies were lying was not your fault. You did all you could. Your experience is an example of when surgical and medical intervention IS neccessary. It is ok. I appreciate you very much!!!!
@hpnvideo Thank you for putting this video together. I watched it over and over again when I was pregnant with my twins... often through tears... it gave me the strength to fight for the birth I wanted and kept me believing it was possible even when others doubted it could be done. I carried my twins to term (39 wks, 4 days) - they were 7lb 10oz and 7lb 12 oz. I had a vaginal, unmedicated hospital birth. It was truly life changing. Thanks for inspiring me!
@hpnvideo thank you i really appreciate this i wish that i had know you were able to do this . i was 17 and found my self pregnant with triplets that was scary but the doctors gave me no info on being able to give birth naturally now a little bit older and a little bit wiser i decided to have on more child so i did and when i went for my sonogram i found out i was having twins and decided if at all possible i was having them at home and in which i did and loved it. thankyou very much
I had a hospital birth, with my twins at 37 weeks! Alina was head down , and her sister, Corrin,was a double footling breech delivery 5 minutes later. Vaginally deliveries with multiples are possible!
i love this video. it's so great that people are out there advocating to break the myths about delivery. it's time for people to stop saying that complimenting and supporting natural birth is the same things as criticizing hospital birth. natural birth is normal ad wonderful and should be a guaranteed right in a healthy pregnancy. congrats to all these moms.
Thanks for making and posting this video!! For moms looking around in the internet, there is a lacking of really positive encouraging information and stories..
especially when it comes to multiples! Oh and the song at the end... I even sing that to myself when I need a little pick-up :)
this video is so awesome! way to get your vaginal and term births ladies! you are inspiring and are sure to inspire more women out there that you don't have to have a c-section (unless it's an actual emergancy)!
Love this! I birthed my twins naturally.. I wish I could have had them at home but the closest hossy is 45 mins away.. not a risk I was willing to take. No medical interventions. It was a fight... but worth it all in the end. :)
While I have no children yet, My mom gave birth to my sister and I all natural. (Not Twins) But with twins running in our family, the possibility is there. Now that I know Vaginal & Natural with twins and triplets are possible. I feel much better. =)
Beautiful. I had my ggg triplets by csection at 30 wks due to pre term labor and preeclampsia. If wish i could of had them like this. What a blessing. Women are amazing.
@TRIOMOMC Preeeclampsia is nothing to play around with! You did what was best for you and your babies in your situation, and that's what it's all about.
Awesome!!!!

@vshowers37 The problem is that when interventions are started like pitocin, rupturing the membranes, epidural etc then MORE interventions are needed to counteract the first ones like fetal monitoring, i.v, and c-section. This is bad for mom and baby! educate yourself about what CAUSES most of these so called "needed medical interventions" The longer you wait to go to the hospital and the less docs mess w you, the better off you and BABY will be! Men know only what they are "taught" by books!

I had an OB try and bully me into a C-section because my second twin was breech. But my husband and I insisted on vaginal birth. After I had Twin A, the doctors started to prep for a C-section and again we put our foots down and asked if they could at least try and turn Twin B (because the doctor's weren't willing to deliver breech). When the OB broke Twin B's water, I pushed hard and deliver Twin B breech! The OBs were not happy with me but I wasn't about to let them slice into me for NO reason

I've only had single births, one natural and one c-section, and recovery after a natural birth is TOPS compared to surgery. I love how these moms knew what they wanted for themselves and their babies and got it.. much applause! What song plays throughout the video? I love it!

I'm Sherry. I had a midwife assisted HBAC (home birth after cesarean) with my twins at home at 39 weeks. The first baby was a water birth. The second was posterior and I birthed her on hands and knees. Savannah and Sylvia were 5 lbs. 12 oz. each, 19" long each. They were identical MODI with one placenta. That's Mono-Chorionic, Di-Amniotic to those unfamiliar with the term MODI. They shared the outer sac, but had separate inner sacs. I love home birth. :)

Natural birth of twins at 38w2days in a hospital. IUGR of baby A (4lbs 1oz), and baby B (7lbs 2oz) was a footling breech. First contraction to baby A: 1 hour 25 mins, and baby B 20 minutes later. I am so glad that I was able to find a midwife and OB that supported my decision to TRY for a natural delivery and their support and encouragment!

This is a great montage! I had identical twin boys at 33+5 weeks naturally in hospital in the UK. Twin 1 was head down, but Twin 2 was transverse, luckily he headed in the right direction following his brother! I had a choice of 5 obstetricians, only 1 would allow a natural twin birth!!! They are 13 years old now and I now work as a NICU nurse and I'm still amazed at how many multiples are born by c-section!

justinbieberizhot100 8 months ago
@justinbieberizhot100 I don't know, but I posted it to my Facebook wall & one of my friends who is a labor and delivery nurse was shocked by it. She said something along the line of, "Oh my God. You are not suggesting that twins and triplets should be born at home, are you?!?!?" I had to remind her, "Why not? My twins were born at home." I also pointed out that many women in this video were birthing in the hospital. I suspect that HER hospital does not "Allow" women to birth twins vaginally.

I had a 10lb 5oz baby girl at home in 1978, 5 years after having a 7lb 3oz baby boy in a hospital-then was told I couldn't deliver a baby over 7lbs naturally. In 1984 I had a full footling breech, 8lb 1oz baby boy at home as well.Hospitals create SO many preventable situations by intervening when it is not needed =C-sections galore and huge profits.

You have indicated 60% of all twin births are born by c-section but what I find even more alarming is 33% of all births in the USa are born by c-section compared to approximatly 10% elsewhere in the world. Is it because a c-section can be performed in a fraction ot the time as a vaginal birth and at a much high fee from the physician or are c-sections performed at the slightest complications because of fear of malpractice suits? Ambulance chasers don't help the issue. Physians,do comment!

I thank you for showing Twin VBAC is very possible. i was told by Doctor's this was not only possible but it would not be possible for me at all because I had a complete tubial ligation and that I would never get pregnant. I was told invitro would be a waste of time because the tubes that carry eggs are totally removed and gone for ever. Well, I still BELIEVE, BELIEVE, BELIEVE. Now, advanced maternal age is in my face in fact ,I am older than all those women looks like it.

I wrote on this video a year ago. I was keen to have my 3HVBA1C.
Sadly, I couldn't do it. My body let me down - I ended up the 1% of twin pregnancies that ended in double transverse lying twins.
I spent 2 days in labour at home, I had convinced myself 'they would turn naturally in labour, as babies do' but sadly, on day 3 I took myself to hospital and a scan confirmed my fate - Emergency caesarean section. I feel deeply saddened by this experience, So many other women can do it - why not me? xx

@BornBlessed2011 I am sorry- but as an experienced OB it is my duty to let you know- the situation of twins (or higher) is unsafe by nature. There is no doctor with any ethics who would help you try this- too dangerous for the baby. OF COURSE a mother who is already expecting twins gets all the help medical care can offer. But it is not ethical to help make such a risky situation...

Good video - gets the message across that you can do it naturally. Interestingly, in my twins ante-natal class, 6 out of the 8 women ended up with c-sections, mostly due to various complications (pre-eclampsia, obstetric cholestasis) and therefore the doctors not wanting to risk the babies' - or mothers - lives.
Anyway, for a lighter look at some of the *unbelieveable* things people say to mothers of twins, search for 'moms of multiples - post birth issues'. Enjoy!

i had a c-section with my son, and for me i think it was the best thing, since he was wrapped in his cord , not just around his neck but around his body also. and i healed up quick. and i was lucky enough to be glued and not stitched or stapled so i don't have a big scar it's very thin and light. i think having twins natural is wonderful and i'm glad so many women can do it ..i think it's easier to do if you don't have complications through out your pregnancy if you have multiples.

All theses women giving birth in any form is amazing, I pray when my time comes all goes well and i can have sucessful natural birth for my children and me, God Bless Ladies and babies!

Great video, I'm on week 33 with twins. I too have found that everyone expects a csection and are surprised when I tell them I do not have one scheduled and don't plan on scheduling one. I'm in it for the long haul, 40 weeks if possible and want a vaginal delivery. Hopefully everything will continue progressing to allow it.
Thanks for the inspiration.

All Mothers of twins, triplets or more should get a round of applause no matter how you gave birth!!
I ♥ my twins! Born at 34 weeks by c-section!! Love ya Evan and Emma!!

@AlanaMoniqueX2 Agreed! Just for the record, I'm the one who put this video together, and I've had a cesarean myself (though not for my twins), and it was a harder birth experience than the twins, and I love that baby just as much as any of my others! Motherhood is hard, and twins are miracles. I just wanted to put out some kind of inspiration for moms out there who were hoping for a natural birth that it is sometimes a possibility.

@hpnvideo I gave birth to both of my sets of twins vaginally. The first set was induced at 35 weeks because of pre-eclampsia and second set was spontaneous at 37 weeks with only a three hour labour. Both sets are boy/girl and both my girls - both Twin B - were breech. I was keen to avoid a c-section as the idea terrified me, especially during my second pregnancy because the thought of recovering from surgery while caring for four children did not appeal, but thankfully a c/s wasn't needed :o)

@hpnvideo Thank you so much for inspiring me! The way your babies were lying was not your fault. You did all you could. Your experience is an example of when surgical and medical intervention IS neccessary. It is ok. I appreciate you very much!!!!

@hpnvideo Thank you for putting this video together. I watched it over and over again when I was pregnant with my twins... often through tears... it gave me the strength to fight for the birth I wanted and kept me believing it was possible even when others doubted it could be done. I carried my twins to term (39 wks, 4 days) - they were 7lb 10oz and 7lb 12 oz. I had a vaginal, unmedicated hospital birth. It was truly life changing. Thanks for inspiring me!

I had a hospital birth, with my twins at 37 weeks! Alina was head down , and her sister, Corrin,was a double footling breech delivery 5 minutes later. Vaginally deliveries with multiples are possible!

i love this video. it's so great that people are out there advocating to break the myths about delivery. it's time for people to stop saying that complimenting and supporting natural birth is the same things as criticizing hospital birth. natural birth is normal ad wonderful and should be a guaranteed right in a healthy pregnancy. congrats to all these moms.

Thanks for making and posting this video!! For moms looking around in the internet, there is a lacking of really positive encouraging information and stories..
especially when it comes to multiples! Oh and the song at the end... I even sing that to myself when I need a little pick-up :)

this video is so awesome! way to get your vaginal and term births ladies! you are inspiring and are sure to inspire more women out there that you don't have to have a c-section (unless it's an actual emergancy)!

Love this! I birthed my twins naturally.. I wish I could have had them at home but the closest hossy is 45 mins away.. not a risk I was willing to take. No medical interventions. It was a fight... but worth it all in the end. :)

While I have no children yet, My mom gave birth to my sister and I all natural. (Not Twins) But with twins running in our family, the possibility is there. Now that I know Vaginal & Natural with twins and triplets are possible. I feel much better. =)

@TRIOMOMC Preeeclampsia is nothing to play around with! You did what was best for you and your babies in your situation, and that's what it's all about.
