The lost art of breech birth does not stop at the singleton that is coming breech. More and more twins are being born through the abdomen. Often times in hospital the birth of a second twin is done by surgery just because of the position, lost is the art of allowing the second twin to be born breech. These stories reflect the birth of twins where at least one of the babies is born breech. Psalm and Zoya are born - "This was easier said than done. We interviewed several yet ... most of the midwives had fear about the birth of the second twin and I did not feel comfortable having that attitude around me during birth. We decided to simply go it alone." The Ramirez Twins - This is a story of Miriam Ramirez Gonzales, 19. It is a story about how we came together, her Prenatal care, and the births of her twins. Birth Surprise in Jerusalem (twin breech birth) - "I had had no labor, no warning. I couldn't fight the urge to push, so I quickly put a towel on our bed, lay down on my side and simply let my body work." Double Breech Twins - Their birth was really the fastest of all my labors, ..., I don't believe the birth would have been any "better" had I gone to a hospital. Twins born (second is breech) - "I look at Cathy and say..."Nicki's coming breech" and I begin to push, long and hard and not stopping. I don't feel anything. " (the girls at 8 weeks old) |
