2012 Twins
- Thread starter singapore_toy_rental
- Start date
I put my twins in the same cot from birth till about 3 months.... Some babies wriggle a lot so cannot put together cos will bump into the other one. Otherwise, can be together till they start turning or kicking around.
Pinkie,
Previously, my gynae keep asking me to deliver naturally at operation theatre just in case of anything. But after seeking some opinion from other mummies with twins, I insisted on natural delivery at delivery ward.
It depends on your gynae. But if you are confident, no issue to deliver naturally. Check his/her experience on delivering twins.
I'm not sure of the size... As long as by 36 weeks they are 2kg each will be fine. (If I'm not wrong)

my edd is jun 2013. i think there are some reasons for advising csect. my gynae advise me to csect cos my twins are sharing 1 placenta, though i have heard of mummies deliver natural too when twins share 1 placenta. its the level of risk that gynae / mummy want to take ba.
marmum, will 1 of your twin wake the other twin up when cry?

1 placenta but 2 water bags? A lot of advices by gynaes are based on their comfort level. Maybe he's not confident of natural delivery for twins.... in case of complications or if the 2nd twin turns head up after the 1st comes out.
Depends. Sometimes the other twin continue to sleep.

Hi pinkberries,
jus for ur reference, but utimately its up to u & ur gynae to discuss & decide. I delivered my identical twins at 37wks via normal delivery. My girls share 1 placenta but 2 water bags. twin 1 head down n twin 2 breech. My gynae is confident to deliver via normal delivery. She has also assured me that she has even delivery single bb in breech.anyway, when my twin 1 is out, there's space for twin 2 to turn. With 3 push, my twin 2 is out.
both healthy weight, 2.8kg & 2.4kg

Hi pinkberries,
I am vegetarian. So I just took rice, veg, (esp. Spinach & pumpkin), beans, tofu, etc. folic acid & vitB thru out pregnancy. Once a week, will take the herbal soup that my Chinese Dr prescribe. But that's more for the "qi" & the back. I eat the same portion as normal, only eat more in the last month. I guess its the healthy home cooked food that my mum prepared that help boost the bbs weight in the last few weeks when I stayed hm & plenty of rest. (i started maternity leave at 35weeks). Overall, i only gained 11kg, & lost all of it after I delivery.

TO all expecting mums,
Ask your doc why he/she wants you to go c sec. I've know many including myself who have gone thru it via natural birth. I don't even recall my gynae giving me that option. ha ha... he just advised me to deliver naturally at operating theatre just in case after twin 1 comes out and twin 2 turns head up.
But after asking around with other twins mummies, I told my gynae that I want to deliver at normal suite. He was ok with it. In fact he was confident that even if twin 2 turns, he can turn it around.
My gynae has had experience in delivering twins so I'm guessing that for those who keep advising against it are probably those with little experience in that. OR, they have other plans. Cos via C section, the dates are set. I do know of some friends gynae who 'insisted' on C sects for singles or multiples cos they will be on leave or travelling etc on or around edd.

Hi cy0919. Couple of more weeks and bb will be out!
I delivered my twins at Mt A last Nov and my bill was about 10k total (incl hosp charges, meds, gynae & dr fee etc) for C-sec with epidural 2 bedroom. Babies were okay in normal nursery. They were under photo therapy for 1 day due to mild jaundice. Can deduct about 5 k from medisave.

dear mummies,
im 8weeks now and expecting a twin also
This is my first pregnancy and actually quite worry if my body can handle a twin in the same time.
Hope can get some advises from the mummies here who have the experience in twin also.
Anyone can recommend me a doc who has experience in twin, preferable at Mt A or amk area.
Thanks..
