    Hi
    I'm 31 weeks and I saw my OB today and he said that they don't let twins go over 38 weeks. And it all depends on Twin A on what delivery I will be having. If twin A turns and goes breech than I will be having a c/ section, If not I will have a natural delivery so I've just got to wait and see what happens.

    All the best Cathie

    I just wanted to let you know that my sister-in-law had a c-sect with her first and then a vbac with her twin girls at 38 weeks so it can be done!
    All the best to you!

    just make sure you surround yourself with people who believe in your ability to deliver your babies vaginally. DOn't listen to all the people who try to scare you and don't let them bully you into an early induction/section.

    I can recommend 'Double Trouble' is you're after some positive, pro-natural twin delivery reading.

    My first was born at 40 weeks +1 day and I had a spontaneous vaginal delivery with my twins at 37weeks + 3days so your twins may cone earlier anyway.

    My OB also says she would hold out for 38 weeks but I know if nothing happened and there was no physical danger she would let me go.

    She is also keen for me to deliver naturally as she says "your last baby was big - so these will be easy".

    Great
