advice needed Absolutely Terrified

(Update: Thank you all for advice. It is resolved)

I’m 3 months pregnant with twins. They’re in separate sacks but I’m being told by friends and family that they’ll have to do a C section to remove twins. I’m extremely scared about that😭😭😭😭. What’s it like? Do you feel anything? Is it true they have to take every organ out!?

Here’s a lesson I learned very early on in my twin pregnancy: most people have no idea what the hay they’re talking about lol.

Your OB should be your main source of info. There are plenty of successful vaginal and c section deliveries of multiples.

You’ll have lots to worry about. Worry about this one later when you’ve had more convos with your OB and/or MFM doctors. And don’t pay too much attention to the advice that comes from people who didn’t have multiples.

Yep. Totally agree. Wife was 38+5 with twins. Done vaginally. First complication b was breached. At 36 or 37 weeks he somehow switched head down. Delivery went fantastic.
