HI BB,

Just to check with you. For your twins, do you buy separate cot for them or you buy a bigger one to accomodate them at the earlier stage? I need experience twin's mum to advice me.

TwinsHappiness,
for the inital 2-3mths, we put them in the same cot. It was till they could turn and "hit/kick" each other then we got another cot and separated them.

Better to separate them else they might wake each other up often.
 
momo: my edd is 6th march.

BB: yipee, u can't c on the same date as ur 1# one? my 1# is on 2 may, hope this one can come tat day or same as daddy birthday (edd).
 
Maplemummy,
think if planned c-sec, gynae might ask me to do it 1-2 wks earlier? Else if last min will end up as emergency c-sec.
 
Thank you BB. There are a lot of logistics I need to find out. In fact, I checked on those freelance CL, some even commented "Faint" when I ask them if they do confinement for twins. Looks like I need to find agency to engage a CL.
 
Hi Starr,

Me too lip always crack & peel on & off no matter how much water I have in take, even lip gloss is not working too..

Welcome all mummies!

Twin Mummies,
so lucky of you all to have twins.. My hubby still hoping for twins although 2 appointments already confirm is 1 baby.. Haha.. :p

Anyway, I just receive call from the gynae's nurse for my OSCAR done last Friday, very low risk (1:27,000) Thank god! Hope all mummies here get similar good news too!

Need help on the breast pump, I heard a lot of ppl telling me that Medela is good but its so expensive. I did not bf on my #1 so intend to do so this time but need more help & information on these & 1st thing will be on the breast pump. There are so many brand like avent, Medela & 1 more brand, what is the different between all these brand of breast pump?
 
Twinsmummy,
do you have a helper plus anyone else helping you out? I didn't have a confinement lady the other time for the same reason - couldn't find one that's willing to take care of twins. And some quoted double the price. We managed to survive with my helper and MIL.

Pinky,
I find Medela works better with the suction and stimulation. No doubt there are cheaper brands but if you intend to breastfeed for long, it's a good investment. Makes the journey easier and less painful.
happy.gif
There's another brand - Ameda which has good reviews too.
 
michelle, kkh govt hospital doesnt c to be cheaper compare to the 2 pte hospital
sad.gif
too bad cant switch got to stick with my gynae. u serious hv not find a gynae....thought last wk u went c ur gynae???
 
I just finished my appt. Blood test is not as scary la. Haha! Gynae says next appt den can see gender lo.

Michelle - I know y dr Ang reject mt a.. He actually still go mt a deliver but mt a will be doing major renovation n no assigned car park lot for doctors. So it will be v troublesome if any mummies need emergency attention in mt a that's y he reject mt a request. .
 
chinbbs - if KKH , u going for subsidized , cfm cheaper den pte hospital , some dont even have to pay but u will have long waiting hrs while appointment and random doctors everytime ..

dym - ah ! cannot scare u anymore liao ! lol so now u eng eng liao la? no nid go back work liao rite?
 
Hi BB,

Initially, my MIL wants to help out. And I am very thankful about it. But she say she can't stay with us 24/7. I wonder I am first-time mum, there are a lot of things I do not know. And how am I going to cope at night with my new helper alone? Although, I believe my hubby will wake up to help, as he's first-time dad. He needs to work the next day, I can't expect him to help every night too.

I do have concern that MIL is afterall not my mum, and I don't really dare to direct her do things whenever I want to.

As for my mum, she's having knee problems and she's helping my elder sister to take care of her 2 kids, age 4 and 9. On weekend, my younger sister will bring her 2 kids, age 1 and 6 over too. So, I don't really wanna tire my mum out further.

As for helper, we will be engaging one end of the year. Currently, my hubby and I enjoy "Er Ren Shi Jie", and we prefer to do our housework ourselves every weekend. Since pregnancy, he is the one doing most of the chores. I only do ironing. = )

When I think about my family is going to grow from 2 to 5 people in the household, I do have some concerns too haha.
 
Wah I 1 day never come here & the thread moves so fast! Welcome to the new mummies.

Michelle & Daisy: We can do swimming on Sat in Yishun if you 1
happy.gif
I damn lazy to exercise nowadays ;p

Wah all mummies say Mt A until so nice till I tempted leh. For my #1 I deliver in TMC. Experience quite good. Maybe I should go for hospital tour later at Mt A before deciding. But my gynae stays near to TMC so maybe he can come & deliver my bb faster if I deliver there? Hahaha...

Twinsmummy: My previous CL ok to do for twins (just extra $200 only!) but she has since retired. Sigh... so can't help you.

Talking about CL, I manage to secure 1 le. So happy!

BB: Agree with you that Medela is a good investment. I'm a Medela fan too
happy.gif
I relied on my breast pump the full 7 mths as my bb don't latch.
 
Maplemummy,
I just realised you are delivering at KKH too? We might see each other if we deliver near to the EDD.
happy.gif
 
Thanks Carol,

We are very shocked when my gynae told us that I'm having twins during my week 7+ scan. At one end, I'm very excited and happy that I got a pair of twins. On the other hand, I'm concern about the logistics, expenses, etc for having 2 + 1 (helper) more members in our family. But it's god's blessing, we should not gumble but thank him for the challenge ahead. We must be positive and everything will be smooth.
 
TwinsHappiness,
you will get used to it.
happy.gif
My household suddenly grew from 2 to 6 too, so crowded that time, haha!

My MIL only helped for my confinement so luckily the helper we enaged had got experience with babies else I wouldn't know how we could survive the 1st 2 years. Don't worry, I'm sure things will work out well for you too. God will make things work since he gave these 2 lil' bundles to you.

Zelda,
yes, yes, a good pump really makes breastfeeding alot easier. You got your CL thru agency?
 
chiny : ya hubby worry i alone go there so far with princess...... ask me whether got nearer de.... since DYM say dr ang prefer TMC.... then i really no choice liao lor.... har.... maybe now i know why previous gynea reject MA le ba....
har....

Zelda : coming sat what time u prefer.....
 
daisy, tot subsidized they give cheaper rate... howcome ended dun hv to pay! dun think my gynae is in the random list wor...get used to c him since 1st birth now no matter what hv to stick to him all de way.
 
Daisy: I'm ok with this Sat. Better soon or else i can't fit into my swim wear ;p Let's see if Michelle ok mah? Can we do it in the evening around 5pm as my gal wakes up v late at 9am de. So if wait for her to wake up by then the sun will b scorching hot!
 
dym - bugis?

chinbbs - i mean the hospital fees after give birth , for checkup still have to pay like less den $100 each time .. i mean u get random doctors wen u go subsidized =)
 
zelda - np !! i gonna start digging for my kid's swimwear den lol .. time wise i'm ok , cos my kids wake up at 1-2pm on wkends =.=

dym - tampines too far for me , lazy LOL ! Bugis i tink wont crowded on wkday but donno whether they renovate finish liao not .. website says Sept but no details on bugis's timeslot .. lol
 
Michelle & Daisy: 5pm this Sat ok mah? Michelle, your princess swims? My gal now refuses to swim when it used to be her fave activity. Maybe the previous time she slip & was submerged in the water for abt 5secs before I could scope her out of the water. Yes will still bring her so she can play with Daisy boys
happy.gif
Anyway I'll bring my maid there to jarga. Btw I'm not a good swimmer... more like lazing around in the water i.e. cannot swim laps de ;p I hope my tummy won't pop out of my tankini... or else can see my c-sect mark so yucky ;p

Carice: If want to try CL agencies maybe you want to consider TMC? They are local and have abit of medical training so I think quite good. Got my CL thru' my friend's recommendation. She said her CL is v good & cooking is nice (she cooks cantonese style food). Will even cook dinner for rest of family + toddler. Will most likely get her for 40days... then i don't have headache.

Peainpod: I also have headaches everyday recently. Dunno why
sad.gif
