Hello! I just went for my first scan last week and found out that I am having twins! This is my first pregnancy so feeling kinda nervous about the whole thing... currently in my 8th week..
Finally saw some twins to be mummy!
i'm having a pair of fraternal boy/boy twins as well.. goin 24 weeks tmr!
Hi there!! Congratulation for your double blessing!
I was like you when I first find out that we are having twins at my 10 weeks ultrasound and SAME!!, this is also my first pregnancy. Do alot of reading and find out more about twins pregnancy. More on positive reading. I am at my 20 weeks now. Take care while you're still in your 1st trimester. Drink plenty of water and eat your folid acid vitamins for the first 3 months. Eat oatmeal for babies development and always keep on positive mindset because you'll be in a roller coaster ride, hehe!
Is your twins in a single sac or divided into separated sacs (2 sacs)
I delivered my twins naturally (vaginal birth). Hard time pushing but I prefer not going under knife. Went on epidural because delivery process longer than single bb. Good luck mummies here!
Whoa! I am not sure yet.. seems still early for me to decide so I will snoop around for more info first If possible, will want to have natural delivery.

Congratulations.
Hi Sharifah, how come you had a saddening experience at KKH? Are you now with NUH?True, I had very saddening experience in KKH. Pray that NUH gives better solution and less worries. Was your babies both head down or gynea was able to deliver Twin A head down and Twin B breech? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sharifah, how come you had a saddening experience at KKH? Are you now with NUH?
At my last check-up, my doc advised if I were to be delivering before 34 weeks, I should head to KKH first.. due to cost factor of keeping the babies in hospital.
TMC and NUH shared the same doctors. Just like SGH and KKH shared the same doctors. Have you asked your doctor about what if you head to NUH about cost factor since TMC is private hospital compared to NUH.
My first appointment with NUH is on 4 Nov. All this while I am with KKH and I hope to seek second opinion with NUH. Opening more options for my birthplan as I've heard from experienced mommies and doula that NUH offered pro natural birth support plus they are first awarded friendly hospital in Singapore. In my experiences in KKH, I disliked the doctors that I've met. There cases that they lose my reports and majority of them are not tactful or not mindful. Perhaps different people will experienced it differently. If I would share with you my last appointment with KKH, it will just scare you and only add more worries. it took me awhile to redeem myself. I'm glad Ive moved on. If you insist I share, you can always find me on facebook and PM me - [email protected]
Glad to hear that you moved on! Sorry if I brought up any unhappy memories.. must stay cheerful! Anyway, all the best for your next appt with NUH
My doc just briefly mentioned about the cost factor when we asked. He said now still early and he will try to prescribe some meds later to help keep the babies as near to full term as possible.. just in the event of any early emergencies we can first go to KKH. Maybe I will ask more at my next appointment.
Hi mummies! Nice to find this forum thread! I'm in my week 12 with fraternal twins & this is my 2nd pregnancy. Intending to deliver at Mt A. =)
Nope, my 1st set of twins. But I have a 18 mth boy already. heehee
Quite worried actually, cos my #1 is a premmie. I hope I can carry my twins till at least 36 weeks. I was hospitalised many many times during #1 due to bleeding & contractions. In the end only tahan till 35 weeks but luckily everything was all rite.
Hope to be able to deliver naturally but gynae was telling me depends on whether they are both facing down. Else if end up emergency c-sect will be very ex. Anyway still a long way to go! =)

Welcome Twinnie!! Congratulations!! Blessed you! Enjoy every bit of your scanning tomorrow. Mine was kicking in the sonogram at 12weeks scan and looked so cute! Brought tears to my eyes. Loving them to bits.
Tks rainingcows, so happy to hear tat you will be delivering at TMC too n also only 2weeks apart frm me. Who is ur gynae?
Will keep everyone posted abt my scan tomolo
Is it true that morning sickness will not subside for twin pregnancies? I have heard from friends that the nausea lasted till like almost the end of the pregnancy...
As for me it feels worse now.. starting from evening to night.. now occasionally in the afternoon.
I'm seeing Dr Adrian Woodsworth at SK.Twinnies.. my gyane is Dr Ben Tham.. how about you?
I heard the same and I was worried too at first. Mine lasted till 4months and decrease slowly when reaching 5months. Quit my job and stayed home because it was really really bad all day sickness. I lose 8kg during my 1st trimester. I do still vomit at times but way better now at 23weeks. What really subsided my sickness was eating banana, payaya, kiwi, sweet plum, cereal, oatmeal, nestum, porridge, non oily food and never skip breakfast ever. Must must drink plenty of water. Grab some fruit juice too like carrot and apple. Have small healthy snack hourly too. Once you catch up, you will then intake all those protein food for babies growth. For the beginning, oatmeal will help baby growth for the start. Trust me, I've heard miracle story on mommy who had oatmeal for baby growth. As for your craving, have them moderately.
Indeed I have met friends who had sickness till birth and even after birth but those are singleton mommies. Ours are double the sickness but again it all depends on faith if yours will be better when you reach 2nd trimester. Lets hope the best.
Oh my I'm having morning sickness lately and sometimes it gets so bad tat it causes me to hv gastric n a lot of wind inside. I've been having porridge, beehoon n oatmeal everyday. I cant take rice n veg as my stomach can't digest. So sick n tired of eating such blend food already. I hope tis morning sickness will go off at 2nd trimester.
Tks for ur advise. Mayb I will try covering my belly button n see if it works for me tooMy advise is to take a day at a time. Whenever I feel better from those sickness, I took my chances to redeem my feelings to prepare what's next to come. Otherwise I feel so terrible to go through it for months, hehe. I Remembered burping alot like a frog during those months. I rarely felt gastric. Maybe because I always covered my belly button with my hands, hehe. And never skip breakfast.
Hi everyone, all the best to the mom to be of twins, I am having 9 month old twins and was once there where you are now, a very wonderful journey ahead of you all , cheers!
Hi Twins Mummies to be, I gave birth to twins (fraternal) in TMC this year July via e-csect due to water bag burst. The babies are 36 weeks old at that time. I guess you just have to let natural take its course. We planned to have schedule csect but who knows baby decided to come out earlier. =) Our gynae though is pro natural birth but he still explain to us the risk of natural birth for twins. I was initially very keen to have natural birth but after considering that one might be natural and the other might be csect, which will involve in double the cost (natural + csect cost), We decided to just go for csect to save the trouble, cost and lower the risk. Now my twins are 3 months old and they are so lovely! So mummies to be, just bear with all the morning sickness, aches, discomfort, etc... once you see your twins, you will find it all worth while! Jia you!
both my babies are head down when due, am lucky. wish all mummies smooth deliveries too..
just some weird thingy to share, my twins was initially heads up and was informed have to do C-section, i was terribly upset as i want a natural delivery badly. so my logical thinking is that bb's head is heavier, so i try to walk more hopefully to bring their heads down. and also thinking that less space for bb to move around if i sleep sideway, so i try to sleep face up.. good enough for me, after a week i went for check up again and my bb are head down..
just some of my silly acts/thoughts, not proven but seems works for me.. ha. my luck..
