Hi ava,
Mine actually quite unexpected. I felt contractions every 20-30mins then I rush to see paul. But he say it's just uterus tightening. So he prescrible me some pills to loosen the uterus. That was on a sat I remember. Then he kept assuring that everything was fine, blah blah. But on the following thurs early morning at around 5++am. (which is around 4-5days after i see him).
My water bag burst. Babies were head down already. Then too late lor, gotta deliver. He came to check to see if there's enough fluid left so maybe can delay the delivery for a few more days. But can't. Already dilated 4cm I tink. Then quite fast, I delivered at 11am.
My boys now 3yrs 2mths. Size & growth development I would say quite fast for premmies lor. They are the same size as kids their age. So we're really very lucky.
Slight delay in motor skills mainly. They walked at 16mths. But my mum say it's because they're lazy like me. haha.. I walked at 16mths too. Speech wise, teachers from their previous montessori & pre-nusery now commented that they are faster then most kids in the class.
So try not to worry so much ok. If can, try to rest more so baby will grow quickly too.
My total bill size for the twins alone was an additonal 6k++. We didn't have enough medisave so I remember paying this portion in Cash. But i remember us having a slight discount on the nicu stay & baby's doc visit as we have a relative working in TMC.
If not i this if the twins were to stay for a week, bill for the babies alone should be close to 10k. hope this helps.
BTW, (touch wood lar) if your twins come slightly early, you can request paul to go to SGH. Bill mite be cheaper then TMC.
Meanwhile, just don't worry so much, if not will affect the babies. (",) Twins usually will be slightly pre-mature. Maybe 35-6weeks should be alright.
