my TCM was telling me that one of her patient experience MS till 20weeks. my face went green upon hearing
 
My opinion is don't go for test if u are having twins. Cause oscar accuracy is about 80% only and many ppl got false alarm n need to go for further test (harmony/paranoma) n result come back all is ok. But for twins harmony / paranoma is not accurate. So left with omnia test. N for twins the risk of misscarriage to do omnia will be double up cause need to poke 2 times. N touch wood if like me. The oscar scan result twin one high risk n twin two low risk. So how? No matter how also i will keep both of them. So no point to do the test. Just my own opinion la. And i have multiple fibroids so omnia test is not available for me too. What i can do now is to pray my twins are both healthy n safe.

Hi Jocelyn
which week are you in right now.
 
Hi everyone, went to doc today for checkup at 18weeks and 4days. I'm having twin girls :p:D... but they are prone to TTTS :(. I will go to Raffles Hospital for the Fetal Anomaly Scan at 20wks. Doctor said it will cost me 500sgd :(:(. I think its too expensive.. Wondering if I can go to other hospital to do the scan but where to get the recommendation letter...

So nice!! u can go for shopping sprees and get princessy stuffs!

For FA scan, I recommend TMC, i was not a patient of them but what i did was go to my gp, ask him to write a referral letter saying i was in my _weeks now and need further FA scan with TMC. Then call TMC to schedule a scan ard 20-22weeks. Do the same ..i paid not more than $200 and was very pleased with the detailed pictures of bbs spines/head/legs/hands etc.. hope this helps:)

Hi there, I know Dr Tony Tan from raffles hospital has experience in managing twins pregnancy. Personally, I find the scans at KKH very detailed. You can call up the antenatal diagnostic centre to find out more. My own preference is NUH because I feel better managed there.
 
that is really good to hear! another step nearer to carrying our bbs in our arms:) im just into my 3rd trimester! last leg of the race ...nervous..

more strange dreams these days .. lots of about bbs...
 
Hi all, I'm 19 weeks now. Just recently had sudden heavy bleeding cos of low lying placenta and was rushed to A&E.

Have been seeing doc from KKH all this while, but this experience made my family worried & my husband wants me to consider also seeing a private gynae outside of KKH as it's sometimes difficult to even speak to the doctor outside of appointments, even if its urgent.

This is my first pregnancy. can anyone recommend me a private gynae who is experienced with twins?

aiyoh ..take care! try to rest more if possible!
 
You can try Ann Tan at Paragon, she mainly specializes in high risk pregnancies (twins, triplets). She was Fann Wong's gynae, very good but pricey.
 
hi

any of the mummies go to 2 gynae, one private and one govt? govt hospital spaced out my appt monthly but i want to see my babies for us scan!

can i just do walk in to private gynae to do us scan?

:)
 
Hi mummies, do any of u experience cramps till you can't stand up. Need to sit than it tapers off in 30-45 mins? No bleeding though... I'm coming to 20 wks nw...
 
@tildateo : i experience cramp daily and quite frequent but normally it wont last tat long. maybe 20 mins or so. I am on contraction medication as well as been having contraction quite frequently.Better check with ur gynae, to make sure everything is ok.
 
@tildateo, is it due to water retention? Try to put on compression sock, lift leg higher when sleep n drink lots of water. Have a check with ur gynae as well. Touch wood so far i only hv the breaking back pain. Torturing
 
Ellesie.. Maybe water retention. Jus keep fingers crossed n hopefully dun get worse.
I tried prenatal yoga for back ache. U can try too. Quite gd stretches. Can relief some pain.
 
Im week 16 now. Still no appetite to eat and got the urge to vomit but no actual vomit. Is this normal? My next check up will be next week. I just worry my two babies dont get enough nutrician :(

Mummies. Do u all experience swollen feet at 20 wks? I'm having them nw. Kinda worried may be preeclampsia...

Can get a blood pressure monitor to check if you are worried. But I think it's quite normal because we are carrying double weight. I have bad swollen feet, hands and face. Hands are the worse because you use them so much.

1 more month to go for me :) c section has been booked. Excited but really tired :)

Ya difficult to sleep and turn at night. C sect scheduled for 15 May. They will be week 37 then. My gyne doesn't seem to want to take them out any earlier even though I read that placenta failure risk gets higher after week 36 especially because they share 1 placenta. :(
