This is my first pregnancy and I am 22 weeks 3 days pregnant with Twins. I feel pretty horrible today because I just got chewed out by my doctor's office. I need some support from women who've been there and done that.
Just a little background first. I have been taking classes on the Bradley Method and have myself set on going as far as I can (hopefully all the way) naturally, meaning vaginally and with no medication. I have been studying techniques and positions and pain management and relaxation, and I fully believe that I can handle this. A lot of people that I have spoken to believe that I am crazy. My opinion is: God didn't give me this blessing if I couldn't handle it. My body can do what it was made to do without any help. Please don't get me wrong, I understand that there are possible risks and things could go wrong and I may end up having to have an epidural or c-section. As long as my babies are healthy I am fine with that, their health is my #1 priority.
Now onto why I'm upset. Where I live, midwives are not allowed to birth babies in the hospitals. I don't understand it but that's their rules. So, I tried going with the doctors office I've been using for my gynecological care because they are also obstetricians. I have been told since I found out I was having twins that I am at risk for having complications (duh, everyone is) and that all of the doctors in that practice don't even try to deliver twins vaginally because of the risk. RED FLAG! I talked to the one doctor I had been seeing 98% of the time and told her my plans of having them naturally and avoiding c-sections. She said that I HAD to have an epidural for safety reasons. I was furious. I questioned her and she couldn't give me a good reason, other than the fact that something may happen between the first baby and the second baby and they may have to do a c-section. When did doctor's become psychic? No one knows if I will have complications or not, but to be told that I would have to have an epidural and more than likely have to have a c-section because nobody was willing to let me try to birth my children like God intended just doesn't fly with me. I will not stand by and let someone in a white coat with a fancy title tell me what I am going to do. It is not their choice and I do have the right to refuse. So, I hooked up with my sister-in-law who had 4 of her 5 children using a midwife just across the river. She had birthed twins using this midwife so I felt confident that this woman would know her stuff. I called my doctor's office and requested my records so I can take them to my upcoming appointment with the midwife. This is where I recieved the riot act. I was told that my doctor didn't feel I was making a good decision and that because of my past complications (That apparently I WASN'T informed of and DON'T appear anywhere on my records) it was not a good idea. Yada yada whatever.
My opinion is that this practice of doctor's is ignorant and stubborn. Plenty of women have had healthy children naturally using a midwife. Maybe they don't know the function of a midwife? The particular midwife I am going to actually delivers in a hospital and works in an obstetrics office with doctors and a doctor will be at the hospital when I give birth, therefore if anything does come up I will be fine and my children will be safe. I feel they are ignorant because they practice by assumptions, they assume I'm going to have complications, they assume that I'm going to need a c-section, they assume that I can't birth two babies...you know what they say about assuming.
So...my main question is...is there any hope for me? Are there mom's out there who have done the twin thing naturally and everyone came out okay? Please help me figure this out.
