Natural Birth of Twins

Natural vaginal birth of our twins without the pleasure of an epidural...it stopped working!!!!! Ouch!!! The babies were born 5 min. apart at 9:30am and 9:35 am. Please excuse the dark line that moves from the top to bottom of the screen, there's still plenty to enjoy!

Do hospitals or home midwives even allow women to give birth to twins vaginally? Every time I hear of anyone having twins they always have a C-section. It seems like they just automatically tell you that you have to have one with multiple births.

@acidstars9 I think many doctors would much rather do a c section because it's easier. That combined with women who just figure they have to have a c section with twins makes vaginal twin birth less common. I communicated with my doctors early and often about this. I knew as long as both were head down and neither were in distress and I was healthy, there was no reason to have a c section. Women just need to research it for themselves and speak up to their doctors!

what were u doing at the end arund the 7:40 mark??

[juliemagdalene]

@samandoliver I watched it again, and the only thing I see going on is that I was kind of holding on to my son. They took him away right away, so I had to get as much touching in as I could.

no circumcision i hope?

[juliemagdalene]

@jadoredashboard Well, I signed the consent for it knowing that was pretty standard. On the day I was going to pick him up from the hospital it suddenly hit me that this was MY son and they would be actually be CUTTING the skin of his penis while he was strapped down to a board. I freaked out, called the hospital to stop it, but the nurse told me he just got back from having it done. I felt awful. He was so tiny and it killed me that I let him go through that.

1, she comments in the beginning that shes been given an episiotomy and is rightfully worried. The nurse and OB laugh it off like its no big deal. WHAT?! I cannot believe that f-ing OB cut her w/out even giving her body a chance to stretch on its own, makes me sick! 2, those babies should have been left on her chest, mothers skin is the best warmer! The woman in this video should be honored for vaginally delivering her babies b/c so many women submit to unnecessary csections. Great job Mama!

Great video

This is not the birth of someone who's epidural had worn off. I had a fully natural birth with my 3rd. You don't sit there and have a chat with everyone during delivery. This is obvious to anyone who has had a REAL unmedicated birth.

This is not natural. Just because your epidural stopped working doesn't make the birth natural seeing as the drugs are still in your body and in your babies.

I don't get it!

[msgoldengirls]

you're doing good when the epidural wore off. I had my first 2 100% natural, I thought I was going to die from the pain. Now I'm pregnant with twins and I want to do the same thing. I figure if they could do it without pain meds in the old days, I can do it too! Ahh, the joys of child birth!

[jeanniefavela]

Did you have Identical or fraternal twins?

[ajschicago]

You're son will be fine, be thankful your children were born healthy and are a part of your lives. The circumcision arguement is really secondary compared to the overall well being of your son. Too many people these days cant see the forest through the trees....

@juliemagdalene Definitely not trying to make childbirth a competition- Congratulations on the birth of your babies! I just have an issue with it being called a "natural birth of twins..." I was pregnant at the time I watched this, and when I'm pregnant, I love watching real natural childbirth in preparation for my own- it was a let down to click on "natural birth of twins" and have it not be so. That's all! Also didn't seem like cheering, more like commanding and yelling but to each her own!

@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT REQUIRE C-SECTION! Only transverse does. Or excess bleeding. Distress is CAUSED by epidural/pitocin caused hard contractions. Hence-those drugs CAUSE C-sections.

[Capri195555]

@MagyckMama BREECH does NOT have to be a c-section for gods sake. Distress is brought on by epidural then pitocin causing hard contractions & THAT equals excuses to do c-sections.
