Can't wait to see photos of them, bound to be gorgeous! 

I read that George and Amal skyped George's parents two hours after the birth and Amal looked gorgeous and George's Dad said the babies are gorgeous with lots of dark hair and George's Mum thinks one of the babies has George's nose!

I am offended that what began as Good News has been hijacked - perhaps if women on here felt strongly enough another thread should have been started

And breathe......

[Cassie]

I wonder if she had a caesarian!

[CLKD]

Out through the sun roof? or was that what she was told ...... and breath 

[Cassie]

Yes I agree CLKD it was lovely to read this thread after such a dismal few days.

There's a Society for parents with twins ......... for sharing etc..

[Megamind]

Most people I know that had twins had a c-section. I imagine Amal did too! She looks too posh to push!!

[CLKD]

The 5 people I know that had twins - all had normal deliveries, C-sections were not an option.  3 sets were born at home, it was the 1950s.  At 1 point we had 4 sets of twins in our School of 450.

I think C Sections are more common nowadays be it twins or singletons. I had to have sections, normal delivery wasn't an option.

[Megamind]

One of my first bosses had two sets of twins, all boys!

Why was a c-section not an option? I'm glad it was an option for two of my pregnancies.

[CLKD]

It certainly wasn't thought necessary and probably deliveries were supervised differently.  C-section were given as a matter of Life or Death so not necessary for the people I knew. 

I could tell the difference of those 2 sets of twins in my year and the pair above but the pair 3 years below looked alike and I never did get them sorted  .  The latter could even tease their Mum but apparently their Dad could tell .........

Megamind, my daughter was breach & wasn't moving as much, so they decided to be safe. With son I developed pre-eclampsia, so at 35 weeks, I had section. First time hubby wasn't allowed in as general anaesthetic, only one guy could do spinal blocks & he was busy. My friends saw hubby being introduced to our daughter in tears. Thankfully got epidural for son, so hubby was allowed in.

[Megamind]

My sons heart rate dropped dramatically and his head was stuck so emergency c-section and husband couldn't come in but he did cry when they handed him our son. Then I became really ill...tough time which put me off for a while but I did go ahead and have another child but that time opted for an elective c-section in case it all went wrong again and yes, husband was allowed in that time.

To think lots of women would die years ago in childbirth so thank goodness for c-sections.

Twins are just lovely. We had three sets of IVF twins in one street that I lived in. One set was a natural delivery. Other two were sections.

As for my sections. My son would have died if he hadn't been born that way....hubby wasn't there as I had a general. By the time we came to my second daughter I didn't have a choice. It seemingly puts too much strain on things when you have had two previous C sections.


I love the choice of names.....normal for a change.

Lovely news so well done them.....well her
