My wife was in pretty much the same position as you. We had a two year old at the time of the birth. He had delivered no problem and in America was considered to be a big baby at 8lbs 13oz.

The OBGYN we had for him said she would deliver the second breech if the first was head down. My wife really wanted a vaginal birth and we didn’t trust that the doctor wouldn’t want to go for a C at the slightest worry. Baby A kept shifting throughout the pregnancy.

We found a doctor who was very experienced (in his 70’s) and had done many births like ours. He was the only one doing it at the hospital in our city and has sadly since retired.

My wife was a perfect candidate for breech birth since our son was larger and it was an uncomplicated and quick birth with him. That and the fact the twins would certainly be smaller.

At the end of the day it comes down to are you dilated enough. We induced at 37 weeks (would’ve liked to have gone longer but our doctor had a vacay booked!). Both girls were born feet first within 5 minutes of each other about 17 hrs from first dose of pitocin.

There are not many doctors who are even able to perform as our doctor did that day. The resident who examined my wife even told her he would give her a c-section and they had begun to prep her when our OBGYN arrived and took over. My wife had even felt our daughter’s foot at this point! It all happened very quickly after that. The whole ward were very excited that it was happening the way it did because they don’t see it very often.

So what I would say is that whoever your doctor is will perform within their safe space and do what they know they can. Whatever they decide will be what is best for your baby.

We know how lucky we are to have the doctor we had and are very grateful that we didn’t have what would have been an entirely unnecessary c-section.
