Kristin, I've only seen a dvd of a homebirth of twins..there was a good gap between twin 1 and 2. From memory around 40 minutes (but perhaps longer) second twin was breech and took atleast 15 minutes to be born once her body was out. It was a waterbirth. I can't imagine these time's

Hi all, I'm a CBE and have had a call from a lady with twins looking to attend the course I'm running. Seeing I've never had much to do with twins (preg, birthor babycare) I was hoping some of you could shed some light on some important points or issues that I could pass onto her. Thanks so much,

Hi guys, I need to ask your advice again if you don't mind. I saw my twins couple again tonight and the mum was very tense. They had just gone to see their Ob and he discussed the birth with them. 1. He has told them that they must head for the hospital as soon as she is in labour as twins

It certainly sounds like the ob is rubbing his hands together waiting for his c/section fee!! Probably by his management, his twins do arrive in 4 hours, hauled out or cut out. I've been around probably 6 sets of twins in my time, and also have John Stevenson's data on 12 sets he was involved
