Can you still have a homebirth if you’re expecting twins?

Our Midwives discuss what happens if you are planning a homebirth and you find out you are expecting twins. In the case of twins and breeches, providers can have very different opinions depending on experience, training and the medical culture in their area. Hopefully this video can help those who wanted less intervention in the first place, navigate what options are truly available to them. Not all mothers expecting twins are good candidates for homebirth, however, with good health, truly informed consent and education, this is an option that some may consider.
