Hi YenT,
Congratulations! So happy for you. Your 2 girls must be very cute.
So how was your c-section experience? Good? btw, Is it spinal block?

Hi Hoops,
My gynae thinks its pretty safe already, esp if the babies are about 2kg. I actually would have preferred to wait another week, but he suggested the c-section the day after my last check up as I was already having contractions. My younger gal had to spend a couple of hours in SCN for some breathing difficulties, that was it. Stay positive
Sunnysideup, my c-section was with spinal block also. It was pretty ok, just some shivering after that. Taking a lot of pain killers after that though as I have a low pain threshold.

hi all...just dropby to update all..I've popped my twins in their 34th week (18 Apr). My waterbag burst in the middle of the nite but thk God no contractions...so I did my c-sect at 7.30am...both came out at abt 8am (1 min difference). I'd some complications due to side effects frm LA...but overall, I'm ok..resting at home now. My poor boys are still in high dependency due to jaundice and premmies...praying hard they can be out soon.
Will update again when I feel better..cheerios..

I'm having twins and I'm wondering what's the average no. of days we have to spend in the hosp if all goes well. When I delivered my older boy, I only had to spend 2 days.

Hi Baked Bean,
Usually for normal delivery, it will be 2 days. For c-section, 3 days.

Hello. I am in 32 wks now carrying little prince & princess. Prince has turned his head down position, but princess is still in breach. I like to avoid C-section. I do one exercise (cat pose) to make the baby head down. This is advised by my mum and also gynea. Not sure it will work. Also, telling the princess to turn her head down.
Hi Sunnysideup,
The girls and I are doing well - jaundice levels coming down, and they are quite well behaved. BM not enough though, need to supplement with formula
Having confinement lady also helps
Who will be taking care of your boys when you go back to work?
Fujiko,
My gynae is very pro-natural - at one stage, I had one gal head down, another breech, and he said can still try for natural as the 2nd one may turn once the 1st one comes out. If doesn't turn in the end, then do c section. You can ask your gynae also.

hoops,
Hi! Congrats and welcome to the twins world.
Your boys are of rather good weights.
My kids were in their 34th week when I delivered them too. You didn't deliver at KKH, right? Cos my kids were only put in the SCN, not highly dependency ward. My eldest boy also had bad case of jaundice but he was discharged after 5 days so your boys should be home with you pretty soon.

fat bobo - i dont have msn. my doc ask me to rest more from 28 weeks, which is next week onwards. my doc also advise me to do c-sect. btw, my doc is Prof PC Wong at NUH. my office cant let me take 4 months together cos manpower issue, so i'm going to take 3 mths then 1 mth take flexibly. who's going to help you look after your babies ?
Sunnysideup,
Is your maid experienced in taking care of babies? I have gotten a maid a few months ago also to help my mom with the housework and taking care of the babies and my older gal, but she is inexperienced, and my mom is not fang xin leaving her alone with the babies even for a while...
Hi jumbobo, bestberries
Better to follow the doctors' advice if they say to rest more. Most twins are early, but also don't want them to come out too early. For me, I was taking 3-4 half days off each week by 28 weeks, but had contractions at wk 30. Medication and bedrest stopped the contractions, and I went back to work at wk 34+, had contractions again after 1 week and had to deliver my babies. Luckily they are healthy and of good weight already!

Hi, Kel
I am delivering babies soon, but not at GlenE. Mine is Raffles. I just got the pricing for hospitalization package. Just share with you.
1)1 bedded for 2 days for normal delivery is $1488 (Medi Save claimable amount: $1350), C-Delivery for 2 days $2218 (Medi Savi claimable amount: $2750)
2)New born Nursary care for 2 days $360 x 2 babies
3) Doctor fee for twins $4000 (after discounted)
4) Daily attendance fee $150/day
5) PD fee $100/day x 2 babies
Depending on you deliver natural, or C-section, the price is different, but based on what I get from Raffles, total will be around $4-5K after Medisave claim.
This is the based on the 1 bedded charge. For 2 bedded and 4 bedded will be cheaper.

hi.. I'm a new mummy here.. would like to check with some mummies here.. when should I start taking my maternity leave?
I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with one boy & one girl.. EDD on 1st Oct.. I'm just wondering that if for example, I'm going for c-sect on 9 Sept, when should I start taking my ML? should I start taking from 7 Sept or 1 week b4 or even earlier? The reason I'm asking is I dun wan to utilize my ML too early. In fact, I would like to start utilising my ML once I give birth & nt b4 babies are out.. so that is why I'm wondering since I already choosen the date of my c-sect, can I just start going on leave 1 day b4 my c-sect?

Hi All,
Just an intro on myself - I'm currently 25 weeks preggie with boy-girl twins! EDD is mid August, although doctor said expect to deliver before National Day. Like some of the mummies here, I'm also thinking when I should start my maternity leave...Does anyone know if doctor gives bed rest leave (so that i don't have to start my maternity leave earlier)? : P

Hi Twinsmama,
You don't need to use your maternity leave before you give birth. Just ask your gynae to issue hospitalisation leave. I guess your company grants hospitalisation leave?

hi ladies,
i am also currently 25 weeks pregnant with boy & girl twins. just want to check with mommies here, does anyone of you have pelvic pains waking from sleeping? i dunno how to describe the pain, but it only last a while after getting up. after that, everything will be ok. and when i try to lift my legs up when wearing my pants, there is some sharp pain as well. wonder if this is normal?
twinsmama,
since i am in the same weeks preggie with you, jus wanna checked with you whether do you feel hard kicks from your babies? so far, there's no hard kicks from my babies jus some knocking here and there only. but i can see the tummy go up and down when they kicks... sometimes quite worrie about their movements..

Hi Ladies,
Thanks all for your kind advice!
I just went for my monthly checkup yesterday - doctor said my twins are doing fine. So glad! Then I asked him when i should start on my 'bed rest' he said i can start from week 30 if I want or if my condition warrents! I was indeed shocked as I had planned to work till week 35 and then to start clearing leave... But I suppose he may have a point - I'm feeling the burden of carrying twins now - can't stand for too long without feeling tired. Right now, me and hubby rushing to buy the babies' stuff before i get too heavy
Mariayee,
I do notice my twins 'somersaulting' and kicking around - they are active especially after meals. Not sure if they are considered 'hard kicks'... But if you can see your tummy moving up and down, I suppose they must be pretty active too!

Hi mariayee,
I'm in my 30 weeks now. Same as you, I do have pelvic pains on and off, esp. when I sit up from bed, or get up from a sitting position. Have difficulty lifting my legs too. What's the weight of your babies? Mine is ard 1.4kg each in week 29th.
twinsmama, your gynae is very kind to give HL so early. When I asked my gynae to give me HL to rest at home during my last check-up, he only gave me 10 days. Initially I tot he will give until the day I give birth. In fact I already feel so heavy now and wonder how to go back to work after the HL.

Hi Beverly,
I'm actually not sure if he meant HL or MC (a.k.a no pay leave)!! Haha..
Will definately check with him the next time i see him...
Have you finished buying your baby stuff? Headache...everything x2..now I know why gahmen encourage people to have more babies - to boost the economy! : D

Beverly,
i just went for my checkup yest and today is my 26th weeks and my boy weight about 875g and my girl 825g. my gynae say they are as good as a singleton baby so i am feeling quite relieved now. but from now till 29 weeks only 3 weeks for me, will the babies grow up so much till about 1.4 kgs?
oh, so having the pelvic pain is normal.. what is the gender of your bbs?

mariayee...dun worry about their weights. I beefed my twins up by drinking lotsa milk..so perhaps that can help.. remember to eat well...I can't say rest well cos wif a big tummy and frequent kicks, not that easy. Do rest as much as u can.. All these are worth when you see your twins... I'm enjoying my twins though many sleepless nights and endless pumping of milk..
