can anyone answer why or take a guess?

I had a sono today and am confused. The tech said they always have baby A on the right and baby B on the left. Well she got confused half way through and had to restart just to realize she was doing it right the first time and she said she was confused because baby B is already in position and further down and baby A is breeched but basically standing (I forgot what she called it). I asked if that meant if they stayed like this, would that mean baby B would come first and the doc just try to flip A if he didn't turn on his own..she said no, baby A always comes first it's just how my cervix is that B is so much lower. But if he was lower and closer, how would A possibly come out first? I know I still have a little while to go and they can move in that time, but if I was closer to my induction date and they were found like this, I'd wanna know why B never comes first? And if A couldn't flip between now n delivery bc of lack of space or did flip but became breech again, would that mean automatic c-section?

Yea I thought they'd switch spots too. She wasn't clear about it at all, just that baby A is on the right and will always come first. I tried Google but it's all about when the baby is born and called baby A or about which one is older.. and they're both boys so I can't even test her little theory about it, but I know last sono, one was behind the other kicking him and I kept saying it seemed like she was redoing the one she just finished bc she barely moved the stick around. Then I had to keep switching sides, and I know they had to of rolled around, but I'm just gna ask my doc in july. Hopefully he knows bc I don't want them assuming the right side is just gna come first and make me have a section if I'm still in the same boat later on

Thats weird...i would think whichever one is closest to the cervix would be baby "a" but even then...do they always stay on the side they are already on?? What if they switch spots?? Unless one is a boy and one is a girl I would think it would be difficult to keep track. I would seriously think whichever one was born first would automatically be baby "a"...maybe try googling it... :)

I'm preg with twins and they say baby A for the right sided one and baby B for the one on the left side. I don't really know how to reword my question tho..or really know what part is being ??????? at.
