Bec & Sheree
I have to agree how a parent /OB choses for a baby to enter this world matters not in the long run - it is how you love and parent the child ever after.
I too have been through an emotionally distressing VB after our daughter was stillborn. Though her death had nothing to do with VB -sadly through a few pregnancy loss groups/websites I have heard several tragic stories of loss during VB that convinced me even before I knew these babies were twins to consider a CS for my next birth.
I know mine is an emotional decision and I know that many twins are born safely - vaginally but I refuse to take the risk or any chances.
I respect everyone has their own opinions and reasons for chosing the level of intervention they do.
Yes millions of babies are born everyday over the world (as they have for thousands of years) with no medical intervention at all. But who records the statistics of maternal/infant deaths in third world countries.The rates are still high in comparsion.
Birth is a natural process but some of us have more reason to make the choices we do and each to their own.
