Nikki, congratulations on your baby girl.
As a mother of 5 children, last 3 birthed naturally, my one and only piece of advice for the best start to labour is DO NOT get induced!! Please read everything you can on induction and how babies are all made differently and they all chose their own irthdays. Be as patient as you can, treasure each day she is inside you. She will pick the day that suits her best, when she is ready.

All the best

I believe the reason american women are denied some of the home birth and other options noted by many of the posters is that America is a very lawsuit happy country, and doctors are trying to protect themselves.. their insurance rates are really high already so what would you have them do differently – if they don’t give you every scenario in the book, they might get sued.. so they protect themselves by having the expecting mom in a hospital with the options they feel least risky as the only options.

I know of Niki by name only, and I vaguely remember hearing that she had twins (I recognised their names mainly), but I had no idea that she had been through so much. It never rains but it pours for some people! I would like to send my warmest congratulations to her and her family, they deserve a new ray of sunshine in their family. What an inspirational woman, a true fighter. I can’t wait to see her surely gorgeous little girl.

Congrats to Niki and Burney! She has been through so much emotionally and physically. This baby is a miracle. God bless them

I can see both sides of the “argument” (if you can really call it that), here. My mother was breech, but was succesfully delivered vaginally (and the sole “complication”-if you can call it that, was that my grandmother ended up with at least one tear, which was, thankfully, quite minor. However, tears tend to happen even with non-breech vaginal deliveries.). Of course, she also weighed just over 5lbs at birth, so that probably made things easier as well!

I was also breech…But was born via C-section. In my case, my mother and I almost certainly would have died if not for the C-section. I was transverse (sideways) breech, the one type of breech that absolutly cannot be delivered vaginally. I am very pro-vaginal birth, but I’m also not against C-sections that are medically neccesary. Sometimes a breech baby DOES make a C-section medically neccesary.

i have apparently been living under a rock because i had NO IDEA that she was the mother of twins, let alone 14 year old twins! bravo, niki, you’re doing well. i wish you a strong, powerful, positive birth. yes, you are woman & i can hear you roaring from here! you can do it, mama. in the small chance that your baby is breech, you can try external version or moxabustion to turn her head-down. or, you can deliver in warm water to keep the air off of baby’s skin, which stimulates the breathing reflex. good luck, mama!

Congrats to Niki, hopefully everything goes well with her pregnancy and delivery.

I am almost afraid to open up CBB articles because I KNOW there will be a lecture on either breastfeeding or c-sections. I delivered my 9 lb breach baby by c-section. I was not going to take a risk of injuring him during delivery. I wish posters wouldn’t feel like they need to “educate” other CBB readers on the subject. There is plenty of info out there. If someone is capable of reading CBB, they are equally as capable of reading research related to the subject.

What a fantastic story to hear she has been able to conceive naturally and hopefully the birth will be as relaxed as she seems to be be with this whole process
Now that its confirmed “girl” I wonder of she may cal her after her sister Krissy or something with using the Kris/Chris name?????

I feel like some posters did not see what Niki was trying to say. She said that if she “should” need a c-section, it will be very difficult for the doctors due to the layers of scar tissue they will have to get through to reach the baby. And for a vaginal due to the rods in her back and epidural is not possible. Which would mean if she does need a c-section she will have to have general sedation. I am so happy for her, and I understand how hard it is when it takes a while to conceive.
