Dear Elvadan, sorry to hear your babies wight are unbalance. I can understand your feeling. I am also worry about that...Currently, my babies are too small, so still don't know whether they would be balance. However, doctor also said there is high chance for babies to be unbalance. I only hope they can be safe....For our MC case, there are more pressure than normal pregnancy. Hence, we have to be strong and think positively which is only thing we can do for babies so far. Recently, I am reading Nick's book of Life Without Limitation, which make me feel more peaceful. So far, I am 14 weeks pregnancy, but my weight still keep on losing, and cannot have a good rest at night. My family is worrying about babies' nutrition...but nothing we can do.. i got serious problem on vomiting. Doc's medicine is not useful for my case. Hence, I encourage myself everyday... calm down.. everything is going to be better if I try my best to solve the problem one by one. Hope to hear good news from you soon. All the best.My two babies weight are unbalance , follow up almost weekly , really worry a lot ! I have no idea about confinement nanny ,my mum will cook for me .
Lucy , thank you for understanding my condition , I had my last check up on 10/04/14, the bigger baby having slightly big heart ( over loaded blood flow ), and the small one under wight about 35% than usual . They suspect me having TTTS ( twin to twin transfusion syndrome ) , I was scheduled another ultrasound this week urgently to double confirm .Dear Elvadan, sorry to hear your babies wight are unbalance.

Lucy , don't worry about yr morning sickness now ,will be stop by 16week , our vomiting is worse than usual due to two babies and more hormone changes . The level of HCG in my body is much higher , so that you will be quite difficult at this moment . I cannot even take MRT at that stage . Try to take more fruit , and maternity milk for nutrition. If yr family can cook for you , take more soup .Dear Elvadan, sorry to hear your babies wight are unbalance. I can understand your feeling.

Lucy , thank you for understanding my condition , I had my last check up on 10/04/14, the bigger baby having slightly big heart ( over loaded blood flow ), and the small one under wight about 35% than usual . They suspect me having TTTS ( twin to twin transfusion syndrome ) , I was scheduled another ultrasound this week urgently to double confirm .
I knew I need to be positive , I knew that I could not help anything but trust god . However, I was headache about my working colleague and my supervisor . I tried to continue to work so that I won't think too much at home , and also boring as I stay alone . But they can't give me light duty , and always feel I am eating sneak always by sit down most of the time . ( by the way , I am staff nurse working at TTSH).
Nobody seems understand my situation , because pregnant is common in hospital ( we all female staff ), and they make me feel very tired to deal with everyday .
I was followed up by twin clinic in KKH , referred by my gyne, that make me feel less mental support when facing problem .firstly , the MO who runs the clinic don't give HL unless admitted. When I ask why I am not follow up by consultant since I paid private rate . their answer is " twin clinic all under sub , but special case they will discuss with their senior if needs " . Secondly , my gyne says twin clinic dr is better than him when problem arise . I wonder how my gyne going to deliver for me if he never meet me in clinic after first consultation. But it's troublesome also to change hospital and change dr now .
I always been positive after I become a Christian . When I first know I had twins , I appreciate god for loving me so much , let me enjoy this double joy and happiness. I keep on telling myself I couldn't help anything at this stage of life while facing difficult , but god have best plan for me and two angels , the plan is great and grand , so much better than I myself imagination .
I pray and talk to babies everyday , to be strong and healthy , god love us and I love them ! Will pray for you , to have a safe pregnancy and healthy babies !
dear Lucy : thank you for share with me these few days , and I felt much released after I aspirated to you about my concern and my fear . You are so kind to listen all my rubbish . I am heading to Baby market at expo , hope to get more cute cute things for my girls ! Wish you have a wonderful long weekend too !Thanks for your blessing! I also hope you and your babies to have a wonderful journey. Within journey, you are healthy, safe and happy!! Although I am not Christian, I do believe it's good to have faith in God and let him to guide us to the bright future. Today, I read a book, a simple sentence share with you:" Do your best, God will take care the rest."
At the beginning, I was followed up by Twins Clinic in KKH as well. Their management system is as what you said, " twin clinic all under sub , but special case they will discuss with their senior if needs ". At that time, I also have the concern that when they think the situation getting worse and need to report to senior, is it too late..? and we didn't have communication with senior before... it would make me feel not safe. Then, I tried several private hospitals to consult better solution, and finally a very kind doctor helped me to write a referring letter to my current doctor. Finally, after comparison, my family decide to change the hospital. But, it wast a lot of money as NUH don't recognize the report from KKH even NT test result. However, I agreed with you, for your case, now it's better to follow up with KK twins clinic. Maybe you can consider to change your gyne. When I was in KK, my gyne meet me every time after I did scan or test in twins clinic. Btw, my doctor friend told me, the doctors from the department of mental and fetal are more suitable for our MCDA case. Hope it could be useful information for you.
Tomorrow is public holiday, enjoy your time with family
do you read mandarin? Do you want to contact my handphone?I'm now in week 16. And did my first scan at the twin clinic yesterday. I am very very worried. Was told there is intermittent absent umbilical artery in one of the twins. I still don't really quite understand what this is. But the words that I can rub what the twin clinic doctor told is death. I cried on the spot. Then the doc requested another scan. I did. Result same. Was asked to go down again next wed to check again. I'm really very very worried. Anyone know about this intermittent absent umbilical artery? I really appreciate your advice.

dear linggy2, you are right ! Stay positive ! MC twin clinic also ever told me about boarder line result , even call Reg come down to explain to me the results and potential risk and so on , however , when I come to following check up , the results always shows improvements( even minor , but not worsen) . I believe when you talk to babies , they can hear and they feel the same as what you felt .You tell them all 3 of you need to be strong to hold on till wk 30-32 (at least ), then you can see them face to face .I wanted to see June tan to let her explain to me the results. But she not around. I haven't seen her for very long. And honestly I'm not very comfortable with what the ADC doctor said abt the case. In week 16, the twins have the same length, weight of 115g and 117g respectively. I'm very curious to know when the intermittent absent umbilical artery has started. But believe no one can tell me since we noticed that during the first fetal growth scan. If assuming it has always been there, I should be glad that so far they are both growing well right? Well.. More like自我安慰
Thanks for the encouragement elvadan. I was told most likely girls. And I have the names for them already. I must see them face to face. The ADC doc told me minimum must dong till 7months. Come on babies, u can do it!!! At this point gender totally doesn't matter to me as long as they are healthy. All along I want boys but I don't care now!
Do MC twins have smooth pregnancy at all? Some times I was thinking y I kena all the low probabilities. Twins only account 3% of all pregnancies. Identical is only one third of all twins. And only 15-20% of identical twins have All these stupid things happening. Hiya....

I am going to be wk 30, happy moment when I felt the fetal movement ( they really moved often this period). Also suffered a lot in body ache and back pain , never had a relax and wonderful sleep these days . When the day comes closer , start to have anxious in delivery . My gyne told me to prepare at wk 36( the best )book a date for c-section , which is end of June , my parents wanted me to wait till any sings of delivery , not agree for dr' a suggestion . I still cannot make decision about it .
I think instead of TTTS , I am having siugr, the weight differences of two girls always around 30%, I hope and pray they can hold longer inside and come out more healthier . In another hand , I really suffered body ache long enough , thinking to release myself and see babies early .
Dear Lucy, I did my check up at 15/05, very happy about the findings : 1.75kg and 1.1kg, ( dr target at 2kg and above , they are getting closer) and my weight eventually go up to 65kg also .
Rest at home is better for both babies and you, you need to take care of yrself and babies ,try to eat more if yr appetite is back . No need to do a lot of walking besides normal walk at home . Another 6weeks more I can see my angles ! Excited whenever I image this , hope to hear good news from you also !
Hi Hi,
I am a twin mummy edd on 3 Oct 2014. This is my second pregnancy. I have a son who is 4 years old this year. I must say, really salute to all mummies.. pregnancy is not easy at any stage. For me, having twins is really a very joyful moment for the family. And its really very tiring for the mummy as well. Having leg cramps almost every middle of the night, gastric reflex which comes so early, so on and so for.
Just wondering, for twins delivery, do your gynece all recommend C-section? My gynec actually suggest me to opt for C - Section. My first delivery was Normal Delivery.
Thanks for all the reply in advance!
Hi lovely blue,
Thank you for your reply.
Just curious, how did you increase your protein intake? Did you take any protein shake or you increase your intake from food source?
I am now more calm. Since there is really nothing I can do, I can only hope for the best and keep the faith.
I'm just worried because TTTS is such a fatal issue. Even if the babies survive, they might be very premature and suffer from many illnesses. Sigh.
But for now, I will keep all these out of my mind. Come what may.....
