BR: just got back from 30 week ultrasound
The babies are measuring pretty much on target - they're a bit ahead (I'm 30w2d and one is measuring 30w6d and the other is 31w4d) but not terrifyingly so, which is reassuring since it's a big concern with GD.
The good news is that they're both head down, so we might not have an unavoidable c-section, yaaay!
The bad news is that apparently I grow children with massive heads (both skulls are measuring over 34 weeks already), so now my poor ladyparts are shriveling in fear already at the idea of pushing these kids out.

I'm clinching thinking about this! But so glad to hear things are going good
You are almost there!

Not yet - basically we're still in "let's go as long as we can" mode. Aussie doctors don't tend to induce nearly as frequently as American ones, so unless the kids start growing out of control from the GD or something else happens, I don't think my doc is too concerned - especially since he thinks I'll probably go naturally before that point anyway.
From my point of view, I know that longer is better, but I can also tell you that the day I hit 36 weeks I'm going to start screaming "GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT" at my stomach.
The only other uncertainty at this point is that if Twin A manages to flip into breech position my doctor may want to do scheduled c-section at around 36 weeks just so we don't have to do an emergency one, but I don't think that's very likely - Twin A has been head down pretty much since day one and doesn't seem to be interested in flipping. Unlike Twin B, who until recently was in a different position with every ultrasound...but if he goes breech, we can still give v-birth a shot because Twin A will come out first and then Twin B may be able to be maneuvered into a head down position (since there will suddenly be a lot more room to turn him around). But again, there are other variables that may come into play, so we'll see.
I love Hawaii!

ooh, sending twin A vibes to stay head down! My doula recently attended a natural vaginal birth of twins...she said it was amazing!

that is all great news. I agree with PP,you've got some brain-iacs in there
LOL I like this, this is the reason I'm going to use.
Yup, as long as the first one (Twin A) is head down, we can still give it a shot even if Twin B is breech. They may or may not be able to get Twin B into position - they can try, but some babies just don't like to be moved - so there would still be a chance of needing an emergency c-section for the second baby.
