I agree with the two postings supporting vaginal delivery. Once the first twin is delivered any manipulation through the fully dilated cervix can be done that is necesssary to deliver the second. Internal version and breech extraction is a very saisfactory manoeuvre for any problem with the second twin in other presentations, thus cephalic/breech is an ideal situation to have, second only to cephalic/cephalic.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
