   Can you give birth in a hospital if you have twins?

   • You'll normally be advised to give birth in a hospital, as there's a higher chance of complications with twins. There are usually more health professionals at a multiple birth – for example, there may be 2 midwives, an obstetrician and 2 paediatricians (1 for each baby). For more information on who's who, read about the antenatal team.

   Can I give birth at home if I have a twin?

   • Despite hospital policies and national guidelines, it's up to you to decide where and when to give birth. If your twin pregnancy has been without complications, and your babies don't share a placenta, it is possible to wait for your labour to start naturally. This could also open up the option of giving birth at a birth centre or at home.

   Can a mum give birth if she has identical twins?

   • Some hospitals insist on a mum giving birth by caesarean if she's carrying identical twins who share a placenta (RCOG 2008). Ask your midwife or obstetrician what your hospital's policy on twin births is, and whether any of the maternity team has experience of vaginal twin births.

   Can twins have their own placentas?

   • And even if your twins have their own placentas, there are still potential risks that could make birth difficult (McAslan Fraser 2012, NCCWCH 2014, NHS 2014). In any birth of multiples, there's a greater likelihood of heavy bleeding for the mum after the birth (NCCWCH 2014). Newborns often need immediate help after birth too.

   Should I have a vaginal birth if I have twins?

   • For example, if you want to deliver the baby naturally, you may still end up needing a caesarean section. If you are having twins and the baby nearest to the neck of the womb (often called the presenting twin) is head-down and you have no other complications, you should be able to have a vaginal birth if you want one.
