She had her 36 week check up today and apparently she's dilated to 3 cm already and the ob could feel Twin A's head!! Both of the twins had heartbeats in the 130's and everything looked great.
The ob felt that a scheduled c-section wasn't necessary and wants to keep on track for a vaginal birth. She did recommend an epidural (our carrier wanted to go "all natural") in case they had to internally or externally manipulate Twin B; I've read that this can be very painful. Also, if she has an epidural, it would be an easy transition in case a caesarean is needed.
Yesterday she had a couple hours of false labor but didn't call us because she knew it was the real thing. After four kids of her own, I'm confident that she knows her body but I'm extremely tempted to get in my (already packed) car now and start heading up to Wisconsin.
She has an appt for next Thursday but I'll be shocked if she makes it that far......we will see!!
