Cevical happenings, what do you think? possibly TMI

[**Helen**]

Thanks. The pains have gone away, thank-goodness, but I am definantly keeping an eye on them.

That is great that your DH's cousin was able to have her twins vaginally. Mine are both transverse so they havent given me an option.lol I think that I probably will have a few false alarm trips to hospital, here's hoping the real deal isnt until later. I can deal with the pain, if I get something out of it, but these BH's are a real pain in the bum.

Don't give up on a vaginal birth if you want one.
DH's cousin & a friend of mine both had twins 5 weeks apart. Both were told they'd e having a ceaser. Like it or not.
My friends twins were all over the place. Every time I saw her from about 26 weeks they had a rough estimate of when the ceaser would be. It started at 32 weeks.
I think they were trying to beat labour.
They were going to send her to Sydney to have it done. One twin was head down, but the other was breech.
I told her to refuse. It was too early & that is no a good enough reason for a ceaser IMO!
Next it was 34 weeks. The twins kept switching position. Each check up the other one was head down.
BUT, at 37 weeks both were head down & ready to go.
They were born at 37+4.

Being transverse with twins might be harder to get them to change possy's since they both have to move, but maybe if you do some of the things to ry & convince them to move they will.

Obviously its your choice, but if you do want a vaginal birth there is no reasn not to try. There's still a good chance you will end up with a ceaser, but it's worth trying.

Hi Helen

Sorry to hear those two have been giving you grief this weekend! Just wanted to let you know i am finding the same thing if i get a lot of braxton hicks, or if she pushes down to much and i get those zingy cramps in my cervix that my CM turns into a clag glue type consistency for a little while.

Good luck hun and i hope those two stay put a while longer!

Thanks Shannon. The clag glue, is exactly the type of consistency. Ouchie for you aswell. I hope your little bubs stay put a bit longer too.

bjrose-Thanks for the encouragement regarding a vbac. It was the babies giving me no option, not the drs. I have a really understanding OB, but there are also other reasons why it is not the best option for me. I have researched a lot and for a while I was undecided but am now content with having a c/s and feel that it is the best option for me.

Hey fair enough.
Didn't know you'd already had a c/s.
Good luck keeping them in there a bit longer then!!
