Twin Vaginal Delivery w/o Pain meds

Hello,
This is a question for myself. I am currently 17w3d pregnant with twins as a surrogate. this is my 5th and most likely last pregnancy. Delivery #3 was completely natural and delivery #4 was 36 out of 39 hrs med free w/an induction but due to a threatened c section I went w/an epi.

I have not done alot of research but I did read somewhere that it is NOT wise to do an unmedicated twin delivery. What is your take or experience on this? I am weighing my options as to what type of birth plan I would like to have if baby A stays head down!

TIA!

Re: Twin Vaginal Delivery w/o Pain meds

Please schedule an appointment with your OB/midwife and anesthesia care provider to discuss your options in detail. This is a decision that will be made based on your OB history, your provider's experience and comfort level with twin and non-vertex deliveries, the availability of ancillary staff, etc.

We really can't advise you.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy delivery!

thanks for the advice, I will ask my OB but the thing is I will deliver at a military hospital and have no clue who will be delivering me until I walk through those doors of L&D. I "know" other surrogates who have delivered twins med free, just want to be prepared as possible w/my decision.
