Giving birth to twins at home?

If she has had a healthy pregnancy and her doctor thinks it will be fine, then I don't see a problem with it. She should just take extra procautions.

Has she talked to her doctor about having a home birth?

is it ..ut how can u do that ..??

I htink giving birth at home is crazy (for me)..but however I think that as long as your prepared and know that everything will be fine then it'll be okay. its all about personal choice thats for sure!

With twins, I think it would be best to have them in a hospital, incase something goes wrong! Ya never know!

If your friend's midwife is inexperienced with twins, she should consider looking for a midwife with experience. Some midwives will not catch twins at home because of the extra risk of complications with the second baby, and a higher risk of bleed after birthing. Another consideration is mom's nutritional status. Birth weight and birth length are directly correlated to mom's daily diet, so is efficiency of contractions, and normalcy of labor. Your friend should interview midwives seeking out the midwife with the most experience--and a midwife who is into nutrition. I recommend that your friend read everything she can by Tom Brewer, MD.

I hope you clearly know what you are trying to do and the risks you are going to facing.

My answer might be late. But I still try. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. GO TO A HOSPITAL.

I don't think there is anything wrong with, as long as they have a mid-wife there to help.

I don't think that giving birth to twins at home is a very good idea. You never know what is going to take place and I would feel a lot more comfortable with all the expertise and staff around at a hospital.

I know that in the old days, everyone gave birth at home, so im sure that if thats what she really wants to do, it can be done. but she really needs to think about the fact that what she wants is not the important thing here, that what is best for those babies should be her top priority. Now-a-days, there are so many things that could go wrong, and if there is not a doctor there or team of nurses to provide proper medical care to her and the little ones, well- you can fill in the rest. i definitely would not recomend it. i would, however, recommend that if she goes into labor, to wait as long as she can to go into the hospital unless her doctor has advised her otherwise. i have had 2 children. my first was induce, but the second started on her own, and i wish i had waited longer to go into the hospital because once you have been processed, they dont allow you to walk around or take a shower, at least not in san antonio tx, so i was in more pain than necessary and ended up getting an epideral- which i really didnt want to have to do.

There is nothing wrong w/ a homebirth. I did it with my first and used a midwife but we were close to a hospital, as well. The second birth was a planned home birth but the baby turned on me and we had to do an emergency Csect. The only downside I had with the homebirth (the 2nd one) was paying a hospital bill on top of a midwife bill :-( I planned a wter birth but it just didn't work out.

i wont recommand..

I don't think that is a good idea. She coulsd have serious complications which could be fatal. She should either change her mind and make sure she does this at the hospital or make sure there is a qualified doctor around when it happens.

I always thought that if you where having twins you naturally had to have them at a hospital as it is hight risk. But I suppose years ago they used to have them at home ok. I know I would'nt risk doing this though as with twins there is a higher rate of complications./

I wouldnt risk it at home. Twins can be compicated to give birth too, so I would go to the hospital incase of emergency.

Personally I would not want to give birth to twins at home. To much could go wrong when you give birth to twins. I would just feel more comfortable being in the hospital.

If you have the proper midwives, doctor care, and have been tested to make sure there will be no problems why not.

I dont think that giving birth to twins at home is a good idea at all, so many things can go wrong in a delivery as it is, and the risks are higher when giving birth to twins. there is no way I would do it at home, she should think about hers and the babies safety, if something goes wrong the hospital is equipped with the staff and the things needed to deal with it, where as her home is not. I dont really think she is considering the fact that although we all hope that we have an uncomplicated labor and birth it doesnt always happen that way.

y not????? i donno wats the problem in this???? if so tell me wat will b the problem...
