Can you have twins vaginally?

You're more likely to have a vaginal birth if the first twin is in a head-down position. But there may be medical reasons why a vaginal birth is not recommended. If you have had a caesarean section before, for example, it's not usually recommended that you have a vaginal birth with twins.

It's important to understand your birth options if you're expecting more than 1 baby. Twins and triplets are more likely to be born early and need special care after birth than single babies. Your birth choices with twins It's a good idea to discuss your birth options with your midwife or consultant early on in your pregnancy. You'll normally be advised to give birth in a hospital, as there's a higher chance of complications with twins. There are usually more health professionals at a multiple birth – for example, there may be 2 midwives, an obstetrician and 2 paediatricians (1 for each baby). For more information on who's who, read about the antenatal team. The process of labour is more or less the same as for 1 baby, but your maternity team will usually advise you to have your babies electronically monitored because of the higher risk of complications. This means attaching belts with sensors (1 for each twin) to your bump. You'll still be able to move around into different positions. Once your waters have broken, your midwife may ask your permission to attach a clip attached to a wire to the first baby's head to get a more accurate measure of their heartbeat. You'll be offered a drip in case it's needed later – for example, to restart contractions after your first baby is born. Triplets or more babies are almost always delivered by a planned caesarean section. Can you have a natural birth with twins? Lots of women think they have to have a caesarean section with twins, but in fact, many twin births are vaginal If you're planning a vaginal delivery, it's usually recommended that you have an epidural for pain relief, but you can discuss this with your midwife. If there are any problems, it's easier for your antenatal team to deliver your babies quickly if you have already got an epidural in place. Find out more about the signs and stages of labour You're more likely to have a vaginal birth if the first twin is in a head-down position. But there may be medical reasons why a vaginal birth is not recommended. If you have had a caesarean section before, for example, it's not usually recommended that you have a vaginal birth with twins. As with any vaginal birth, you may need an assisted birth. This is where forceps or vacuum delivery are used to help deliver your babies. Once the first baby is born, your midwife or doctor can check the position of the second baby by feeling your tummy and doing a vaginal examination. They may also use an ultrasound scan. If the second baby is in a good position, it should be born soon after the first, as your cervix is already fully dilated. If your contractions stop after the first baby is born, the doctor or midwife may discuss giving you hormones via a drip to restart them. Caesarean section and twins In the UK, more than half of twins and almost all triplets are delivered by caesarean section is a common method used during twin and triplet births. You may choose to have a planned caesarean, or your doctor may recommend a caesarean, if: the first baby is lying feet, knees or buttocks first (breech)
