Hi twin mummies

Just found out today that I am having twins (non-identical) currently 5 weeks only so I saw 2 sacs imagine my jaw dropping...



I haven't chosen a doc but I'm with kkh currently ...

 
JJ : congrats .



I'm pregnant with identical but do not know the gender yet . I have to go back to ADC@KKH for checkup every 2 weeks . At 17 weeks currently . But friends say I look like 6 mths already .



Good luck with the pregnancy. I started wearing maternity when I was 8 weeks cos I was already showing.

 
congrats cnicole!

u with which doc at kkh?

So kkh does do close monitoring if it's twins la... cos I know for singleton suppose to scan every 4weeks once.



I'm already sourcing for pre-love maternity clothes... my normal bottoms can't fit already & I'm only 5weeks.

= p

 
I'm with dr han at kkh . There are a few dr whom are really nice.



I bought quite a few maternity wear . Tops bottoms and dresses from toa pa yoh for around 20 - 30 dollars each .

Hi twin mummies

Any of you have experienced spotting ? I'm currently 6w + & on & off spotting... already saw 3 times brown spotting ..



my doc said its progesterone levels not high enough ... he also gave me HL to bed rest for 1 week plus



Now worried on my nxt scan for bb's heartbeats (saw them at 6th weeks)

 
Hi mums, my husband has gotten me a maternity dress. I'm so glad. The quality is good. He told me he got it online. I think it's pretty hard to get good quality and nice piece online. I'll go check out the website. Haha.. New shop for me to shop. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi JJ: I was spotting and bled a bit on my six and eighth week-- thats when I found out I was having twins.. Yes, that means must thicken uterus lining... Your doc will give u progesterone.. Just one day at a time okie, take it easy and think HAPPY THOUGHTS>. your babies will make it!

 
I am looking out for a preloved twin stroller for my 2twin gals -those front n back. Should u be letting go for a small token pls let me know. Thx coz am a stay home mum with twin gals n hubby earn one k + so abit tight

thx - Marcia 9738 2631

 
Congrats to all moms who are expecting twins. I had twins myself and delivered them naturally(VBAC to be exact) prematurely at 30weeks. Both boys are doing fine now, they are 16mths now. I have the blessing of friends who gave me hands-me-down or token sum as it is really costly to have twins. I have a hand-me-down cot(not for the fussy, as it has many crayon drawings and scratches) but is sturdy and safe. I used it for 6mths.I intend to pass it on to those who need it for a small token. Cot has been dissembled and shrinkwrapped now. Anyone keen please pm me. Self collect at Hume Ave.

 
ladies: Im having two boys! I thought I'll be a bit sad as every one was rooting for one girl and one boy.. but hubby and I are thrilled! Ill have three men in my life[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Im hitting 22 weeks.. scans all good.. YAY!

 
hi alllll.....well underwent SO-IUI at kkh. Successful at 2nd try....but guess what??.im expectind quadruplets..all 4 diff sacs...so my fertility doc dr sadhana has advised me to do featos reduction at NUH by Prof Biswas on my 3rd month. they will do the reduction after checking for down syndrpm n stuff...im under alot of stress now..not possible to hv all 4 since the risk r much higher...cannot bear to tink tat i hv to end 2 of my little ones lives..im alredy 8weeks but my stomach is not showing...its bitter sweet for me....i tink my doc is not really a multiple preg specialist..anybody got any good doc to reccommend..i hv heard sokme good stuff bout proff biswas...so we mite take him as our gynea..but tat depends on my visit to him.....haizzz..anyone wanna share ur experiences?

 
Hi Megalai, I did fertility treatments with Dr L.C Cheng at Thomson Medical Centre. Am expecting twins now. He has shared with me his experience of delivering quadruplets... even recently, he had one mummy with quads. I suggest you consult him as he is a multiples specialist to get a second opinion before making any decisions.



Good luck to you and I hope all turns out well for you.

 
i saw 1 heartbeat at 6 weeks, then was surprise to see 2 heart beat at 8 weeks. that same night I dreamt that I had quads . I was thrilled.



Mega : it's a blessing, hope everything goes smoothly for you . Keep us updated.

 
I saw both my twins heartbeats at 6weeks too...

Going for the DS scan in 2 weeks time ..

 
hi working wife,

yes i wld need a second opinion before deciding anyting...its not gg to b ez having 4 kids for sure..thanks for the referral ..will make n appt to c Dr LC Cheng soon..thanks..congrats on ur twins...

Congrats to cnicole & JJ on ur pregnancy too ladies..;)

 
mega I'm also with kkh under dr sf loh so far I nvr hear any multiple mummies under him asked to go for this type of selective removal (sorry don't know how to word it)



u might want to ask if can see dr loh, but be warned that he is very popular n his waiting time is long. also Ive nvr come across a quads mummy the most is triplets



I also know that CARE @ paragon is a private ivf centre they hv very close monitoring & support for multiple preg esp triplets u might want to consider continuing this journey with them

 
hi guys..thanks so much for ur input....i do not tink its wise to keep all 4...im puking away every day..no appetite to eat tooo...horrible feeling....

 
Hi Mega,



You are one of the special people to be blessed with 4 babies! Do consider carefully before you make a decision.



I am currently expecting triplets at 26weeks.. and there has been cases of successful quad pregnancies..



Morning sickness is very common with multiples pregnancies.. but it will usually go away when u cross over to 2nd tri.. meanwhile, take small meals if u can.. n try to take more fluids..

 
hi congratz all mummies... sorry to intrude.. im a 2009 twin mum.



congratz agn all.....



megalai, i agree with pandawife, we r very blessed with mulitples...n for u..ur exceptionally blessed with quads. yes, the pregnancy will be tough.. (even for me, twins only....already tough.. i cant imagine for u gals, triplets..n quads.)



do give it a 2nd, 3rd, 4th..5th tot....



http://www.rafflesmedicalgroup.com/hospital/find-a-raffles-doctor/dr-tony-tan-yew-teck.aspx

this dr tony tan (RH) oso specialises in multiples n high risk pregnancy.. (i plan to go c him when i next strike for my 3rd bb!)....



hope all is well for all the mummies here. God bless......... :)

 
hi fat bobo,

thanks for the feedback n referral to dr tony tan..i will b seeing dr tan next week before i go for the featos reduction on 27th oct..i wen to NUH n saw Prof biswas for the 1st time/..hes a nice doc...i heard all my 4 little ones heartbeat yest..m now 9 weeks.its so heart wrenching knowing that i have to kill 2 of them so tat the other 2 will have abetter chance of survival...

mayb u guys mite be interested to know that for featos reduction what they will do is inject sumting into the 2 babies to stop the heartbeat....(i feel tats so sad) n it will b in the tummy wif the live babies too....but it seems to b a very common practice wif risk but better than carrying all 4 babies which carries a higher risk....well i will still get a second opinion...jst felt like sharing..but i really hope noone shld be put in my situation...im in such a delimma..now is the time i shld b enjoying my pregnancy but im not...its a mental torture i mus say

 
oh my gosh megalai, reading the way u describe the procedure.. it's really so heart wrenching! oh gosh.. so painful..even to read abt it. yur hb & u muz hv gone true even greater pain to hear abt it..n to think abt it!!!!

especially nw dat u already heard all the 4 heartbeats! oh God..

but megalai... since ur already doing yur best to get 2nd/3rd opinion...... if *touch wood* cm to worse, it's more advisable to go through the procedure, u hfta be strong to accept it ya.. yes, it's unfair n very painful to hv to choose to 'take away' two.. but, u hfta be strong n keep your spirits high to continue to carry the other two babies okie.



my very best wishes to u... n will keep prayers for u & the four little ones.



meanwhile.. u take good care.. *hugz*

 
yesh bobo,

its very sad rite?...im sure i will given divine guidance to make the rite decisions for me n my little ones...

thanks so much for ur support n understanding ya...

 
Hi everyone! I'm expecting fraternal twins (long feng tai). EDD is 2 Feb 2010. I'm now with Prof Biswas at NUH. Have you all taken up the maternity and delivery package at your respective hospitals yet? If yes, can you share what the package is like? Thanks!

 
hi tan sp,

congrats on ur impending bundle of joy dear.....how do u find dr biswas? well i mite conside nuh if i decide to stick to dr biswas too....would love if others cld share their packages wif us...

 
Thanks Megalai. :D Are you with Dr Biswas now?



I've only 3 consultation sessions with Dr Biswas so far. He is patient and I like the fact that he explains things in simple layman terms. Hope this helps!

Hi Mega



I was just reading back at the previous posts and realised that you're having quadruple pregnancy? I hope all's going well.



To add to my earlier post, I was told by the nurses at NUH that Dr Biswas is the expert in handling multiple and high risk pregnancies. He's the head of the department. In the choice of the hospitals, it may make sense to stay with either KKH or NUH because in case of "complications". I've heard of patients from the private hospitals being transferred to these two hospitals. You may also want to take cost into consideration as it can actually stack up.



Just my two cents.



- SP

 
hi SP

thanks so much for ur feedback dear..yeaps i also heard tat biswas is a gd doc....yes im trying to c which hospital shld i choose to deliver the babies at too.

btw can i check if the amount i pay to c my doc for check up n all can b reimbursed using my medisave?or its only after 22 weeks where i hv choose my maternity package n all?

pls advice anyone...

 
dear ladies,



I need some advice.. my doc is dr SF loh from KK.. am currently 8 weeks+ preggie and was scheduled for BT on 25 oct and scan on 15 nov (tink shld be for the DS test).. just to check for the scanning on 15 nov, will any of the doc tell me the results of the BT & scan on tat day? or will I get the result only when I see dr loh on other day?

 


Hi Ferriswheel,



I'm also with Dr Loh, expecting a pair of twins, about 16 weeks now.



There will be a doctor to analyze the report with you after the scan.
