Questions to Doctor: Regardless of what we feel or advise here this is really a conversation to have with your ob. It appears this will be your first delivery and all of your worries, I am sure, will be addressed appropriately with your ob. Your prenatal book may also have some chapters on these very questions to help you formulate how to discuss your worries.

Great question: Most ob's i work with consider vaginal birth for twins only with women who are delivering early and with all favorable indicators. They rather deliver them c-section than worry about the second twin hanging up in delivery. Discuss this with your OB and have a game plan ahead of time.Coming in during early labor may give you the most options.
