Wow, 35 weeks already! That last month is always the hardest for me and I've never had twins, so I imagine that would be worse. My mom had my twin brothers at 37 weeks, delivered the old fashioned way. The first was head-down so delivered normal and the doc delivered the 2nd breech 2 minutes after the first. How are your boys positioned?
Have you ever had a c-section before? I had my appendix out when I was in college and I swore to my boyfriend (now my husband) that I was never having abdominal surgery again. The OB would have to do some pretty fast talking to get me to agree to a c-section.
Nope, never had a c-section. I really, really, REALLY do not want to have one because I have to have general instead of an epidural, and ugh, then I feel like crap for a good month seriously. Never mind the fun of having my muscles cut apart, bad enough when I strain them. Right now, the fact that I will feel WORSE for longer than I'll be pregnant feeling like crap is keeping me on the side of I'm waiting them out. However, dr will induce at 38 weeks if I want. Meh. I may try the labor salad I've used before instead of crappy icky drugs, but ask me again at that time.
Minotoro (aka baby A, Spawn or Patrick) is head down, good position, no problems. Minotauro (aka baby B, Diablo or Thomas) is also head down, way more to the left, but should be fine once Minotoro is out of his way. They are VERY VERY good babies. I tell them such on a regular basis in hopes they don't demand/require a c-section. Plus, please, size - dr thinks they are 6 1/2 pounds or so. Matthew was 9 and no problems. So nice small babies sound good.
