A member asked:
When do you cut the umbilical cord if the mother is having twins?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Twins: Each fetus has its own umbilical cord. The cord for each is cut after it is delivered.

With each birth: Each baby has sis or her own umbilical cord, so it gets cut with birth of each baby. Some mom's like to delay cutting the cord until baby laying on her chesrt. This practice not really possible with twins. The first needs to get cut so the second baby can be delivered. Congratulations!
