Who is this surgery for?
- The planned or anticipated vaginal delivery of twins, regardless of presentation (e.g., vertex-vertex, vertex-breech).
- Maternal preference for a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) with a twin pregnancy.
- Gestational age considered viable for delivery, typically 32 weeks or more, though neonatologists care for infants of all gestational ages.
- Absence of major obstetric complications that would mandate a cesarean section, such as placenta previa or active genital herpes.
- Availability of appropriate facilities and staff, including an operating room on standby for emergency cesarean delivery.
How to prepare
- Antenatal Counseling: Detailed discussions with the obstetrician and neonatologist about the process, potential scenarios, and the role of each specialist.
- Fetal Monitoring: Frequent ultrasounds in the third trimester to monitor fetal growth, positions, and amniotic fluid levels.
- Hospital Readiness: Ensuring delivery occurs in a hospital with a Level II or III nursery or NICU, equipped for twin resuscitation.
- Team Briefing: A pre-delivery huddle involving the obstetrician, neonatologist, anesthesiologist, and nursing staff to review the birth plan.
- Parental Preparation: Packing hospital bags for an extended stay and understanding that babies may need observation in the nursery post-delivery.
Risks & possible complications
- For the Babies: Increased risk of prematurity, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, jaundice, and temporary need for NICU admission.
- For the Mother: Higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage, perineal tears, and a longer, more exhausting labor compared to a singleton birth.
- Intrapartum Complications: Potential for cord prolapse, placental abruption after the first twin is delivered, or the need for an emergency cesarean for the second twin.
- Inter-twin Delivery Interval: A delay in the birth of the second twin can sometimes lead to fetal distress.
- Long-Term Considerations: Twins have a higher statistical likelihood of developmental checks and follow-up care in infancy.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Birth: Both babies are thoroughly assessed by the neonatologist. Skin-to-skin contact with the mother is encouraged if the babies are stable.
- Initial Monitoring: Twins are often monitored in the nursery for several hours to days for vital signs, feeding, and glucose levels.
- Feeding Support: Lactation consultants assist with tandem breastfeeding or formula feeding techniques specific to twins.
- Maternal Recovery: The mother will receive standard postpartum care, with extra attention to uterine contraction and bleeding control.
- Discharge Planning: Discharge may be slightly longer than for a singleton birth. The neonatologist provides clear instructions for at-home care, warning signs, and follow-up appointments.

Pooja Brown, a 32-year-old graphic designer,...
Pooja Brown, a 32-year-old graphic designer, was a first-time mother with a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who had conceived through IVF. Her pregnancy was closely monitored due to her age and fertility history. At 35 weeks, she developed pre-eclampsia, presenting with high blood pressure and significant swelling. Her obstetrician, concerned about the risks to Pooja and her twin girls, recommended an immediate induction for a normal delivery, with the neonatology team on standby due to the preterm gestation. The delivery was intense but successful; Baby A was born crying vigorously, but Baby B required brief respiratory support from the neonatologist. Both girls were taken to the Special Care Nursery for observation. Pooja's emotional journey was a rollercoaster of fear and joy. Before the delivery, she was terrified her body had failed and that her babies would be in danger. After, though exhausted, she felt an overwhelming sense of relief and strength, especially when the neonatologist assured her both girls were stable and would thrive with a short NICU stay for feeding and growth.
