Vaginal delivery and epidaural question

quote:
For me, baby A was vertex and B was breech. My doctor had no problem with doing a breech extraction for B. I had an epidural and delivered in the OR. Baby A was vaginal with no problems. Then she tried to get Baby B. She could not get him out no matter what. She said in the 20 years she had been doing this, it was the first time she couldn't get the second baby out. This was also a perinatologist.

She decided to do a C-section. Then his heart rate dropped to the 80s. It became a VERY emergent C-section. They kept pinching my belly and asked if I could feel it and I could. Even though I had the epidural, I still had quite a bit of feeling and they needed to knock me out completely so I ended up with general anesthesia as well.


This was me except twin a was head down practically peaking out and twin b was transverse way up high. His h/b plummetted down to the 30s and did not rebound. So I was put totally under anesthesia and emerg vertical section. I did not know if Josh was ok until I woke up. I was totally hoping for double vag delivery and drs ability to extract Josh after Zach came out. Very unusual for this to happen but I wanted to add my story.
