<p>Most everyone lately just assumes that since it's twins, I'll be scheduling a C-section, and they seem very surprised that I'm going to 'try' to avoid one. I've managed to successfully avoid C-Sections twice already, despite transverse babes at 38 weeks and having to consider a C-sec if they couldn't/wouldn't turn, so I'm not that worried about it</p>

<p>Thank you for sharing that about your transverse babies, <a data-huddler-embed="href" href="/community/u/164269/SynEpona" style="display:inline-block;">@SynEpona</a>. One of my big fears at this point is positioning and what I need to hear most is from women who say "baby turned; no problem". Is transverse "hammock style"? <br>
Hopefully I'll get a midwife soon and we can actually start telling position because I don't really know at the moment. It's been a several weeks since the last check and I can't tell where she's at, just that she moves a lot. </p>

It's so hard to hear that! It probably stems from their own insecurities, but a nice, "that's awesome!", sure would be encouraging. People don't try to talk to me about it any more, but are surprised I'm planning another home birth with twins. Luckily, with my first, I always used my fear of epidurals as an excuse they couldn't really say much about

<p>I'm just telling them that I react to medications so it isn't an option. This is true, but not actually tested so . . . . I react poorly to everything they give me so it's best to err on the side of caution. I just don't consider it an option and therefore it isn't one, but it would be nice if it was more universal. Mostly, I just don't talk to too many people about my plans. </p>

I had all of my children unassisted. My doctor thought I had lost it when I told him I would be birthing my twins solo. No one tells me horror stories I just have to much experience.<br>
Do not let them trouble you birth is really what you make of it. It does make me a little crazy when people assume that Ibirth unassisted just for the glory!?!</div>
</div>
<p>That is awesome and great to hear! More awesome stories, please! Just saw an unassisted birth on YouTube and I was impressed. After she was done I noticed a whole bevy of kids come out of the woodwork. I'm planning on as little assisting as possible because I operate better with self-confidence and drive. I just want people there to encourage the confidence and help keep me strong. *That* is my safety net. </p>
