Rationale: Many practitioners choose to deliver any nonvertex presentation via cesarean birth. In 20% of cases, twin A is nonvertex and requires a cesarean birth. Approximately 40% of twins present in a vertex/vertex presentation. More than 80% of twins in vertex/ vertex presentation are born vaginally. Since the patient will need a cesarean birth, spinal block and continuous lumbar epidural will not be indicated.
