[quote=Anonymous][quote=afield][quote=Anonymous]Afield your wife will probably be looking at more than 30 lbs! I am 5'1 and 92 pounds and my doctor told me she would like to see a 35 lb gain and I'm only carrying one! [/quote]

Wow.  It's really going to be a big undertaking.  I'm keenly aware that getting them as far to the goal line, so to speak, is a big deal toward their well being.  Carrying them to full term as long as possible.  Unless IUGR is an issue.

Do people just plan for a CS in this situation?  Otherwise, even if both head down, the second twin to be born can really get stressed.

Pumpkin here. You'll find a wide range of thoughts on this - not sure about others but I'm pretty sure nobody on here has had twins (but maybe they have!). Anyway, I think it is probably very personal. I would personally want to try for vaginal birth if I were having twins but I know people who feel exactly the opposite! Of my two twin friends, one of them planned for a vaginal birth and ended up with one vaginal and one c-section. She said recovering from both a vaginal birth AND a c-section (yoy!) was extremely rough, but she still says she has no regrets and would try it again if she had it to do over. But she was very strongly in favor of vaginal birth and I can see someone less passionate about that going the other way. It really is highly individual. What does your wife want? You might want to post a spin off thread on the broader forum where other people can tell you from their experiences. Good luck! [/quote]
