How is it best to give birth to twins in a natural or a Caesarian way?

Today, the birth of twins is an increasingly frequent phenomenon, largely because of the increased use of assisted reproduction techniques that favor the implantation of multiple embryos.

But how will the birth take place? First of all, it should be said that the twin birth often occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy (usually, among other things, is encouraged to avoid risks). The birth of twins can be natural, but statistically, it's easier to do it with a cesarean operation.

When Cesarean cut birth is chosen

These are situations that often lead the gynecologist to choose to intervene surgically:

The first twin does not appear in a cephalic position (meaning upside down); it often happens that both children are in a rebellious position (meaning their feet below);

An ultrasound visit has diagnosed a previa placenta, which is placed in front of the cervix - it can have serious consequences for mother and child when it starts opening before the birth process begins

A meeting of growth is found in one or both children;

At birth, a twin's weight is expected to be more than 25% less than the weight of his sibling.

In monosygotic twins, fetus-fetus transfusion syndrome is present (the risk that blood vessels feed one mate more than the other)

Precautions for Mother

The risk of postborn bleeding is higher for twins to expand the womb. For this reason, right after the birth of the second mate, doctors increase oxytocin (a hormone) dose to favor cervical contraction and block blood loss. Another precaution is the maintenance of the blood supply for possible needs that may be a quick transfusion.

First Contact Important

Whether the birth took place spontaneously or it has been necessary for a Caesaric cut, the first minutes Mother must spend with her children remains of fundamental importance. Normally, when both babies and mothers are fine, they will immediately try to begin breast - feeding. It is a very important approach from an emotional point of view because it allows children and mothers to recreate their symbiosis in a physical way because it stimulates the production of oxytocin, the hormone that favours the contraction of the uterus (avoiding the risk of bleeding). But not only: It is important for children to contact their mother's good bacteria as soon as possible to prevent increasingly frequent forms of childhood allergies.
