gan... i dunno who i will see in kkh.. coz suppose to go in as subsidised patient..cannot choose doctor.. but dr paul says for high risk pregnancies, will be snr doc doing the delivery in case of emergencies.
keeping my fingers crossed..no need to deliver there. dr paul says so far, none of his triplets hv to be delivered at kkh.

Grumpus, hee hee.. Sometimes better be safe than sorry and we can find out reason later.. Keke. And over here in forum, we have Auntie Singapoh.. Kakaka.
Tickles, agree w u in having mum doing confinement. Got pros & cons. It pains my heart to see a 70 yr old lady working so hard for me, so can't bear to and difficult to ask her to do somethings when she didn't offer to do too. But e care is genuine offered is genuine. Really wanted to get CL earlier but my mum insisted to do for me and if I reject, she will feel hurt too.
Panda, congrats in knowing your 3rd baby's gender finally.

Tickles, saw u asking about disposable undies. I bght too many coz really forgetful that I already bght. Anyway, 
the long & short of it, u can go get from Watson's e white "extra comfort" 65% viscose & 35% polyester one. V comfy and I think less than $5 a packet.

JJ, multiples r likely to deliver early n higher risk of delivering unexpectedly. The only hospital in spore tt has gynae 24 hrs is KKH.
Even for singleton, emergery during non-office hrs, mtbs also have to fo KKH 24hrs for immediate treatment or attention. Eg, bleeding, water bag leaks, etc.
If KKH does not hv patient's records, it may not be able to assess accurately and treats e problem, the KKH doc will then hv to call he patient's pet gynae but the latter wun hv the records with him as he is off work too.
That is what happens to my colleague the other time, wheh she was carryig a singleton,

nancy, yes..will go register w kkh..doc says do it as an "insurance". i heard the NICU in TMC costs $1k per bb per day...
i oso hope dr paul can deliver the babies... he told me he will give me medication from 24 weeks onwards ...to prevent pre mature contractions.. hopefully everything goes smoothly w no complications...

Congrats on yr 2 princes and one princess!! Best combi!!
I shall ask my gynea abt registering with kkh.. Must get referral ltr frm polyclinic ah.. Just go any dr in polyclinic and just tell them we are having multiples and give us an appt in kkh??
Looks like my bbs have the heaviest weight here for 20weeks.. Is it i eat too much? Haha..
I have already gained abt 7kgs in weight so far..
Panda, 6kg in a mth?! Maybe cos u lost weight in first tri.. U are just gaining bk yr original weight mass...
Gan
If u not comfortable in the dr in kkh.. U wana see a pte gynea concurrently? Since u are having a singleton.. Maybe can consider delivering in pte hosp... Then u can have the attention u need... Waiting time also shorter with some pte drs... Thou some pte drs also have long waiting time.. Esp those at tmc..

wah Gan... Good things snap up fast huh?
well will continue to scout around for cheaper CL
Baby, congrats on having 2 princesses!
Well i am not sure about changing a gynae now coz already in my 5th month and all my records are with kkh. Yes, waiting time at TMC can be long, I used to see Dr Eunice Chua at TLC, also can wait up to 1 hr or more.
Guess I was upset that i didn't get to see my own gynae as i was really concerned about the low water level. In fact i have been crying alot since sat after reading those info abt low water level thru internet until my hubby got worried that i am getting depression. Felt more assured after yesterday detailed scan that bb is growing well.
Tomorrow's appt will check with Dr Loh if the water level is ok though senior sonographer said normal but i think i will be more assured hearing from him as he made it sound very serious when he told me he didn't like what he sees when he saw me on sat.

I had a CL from agency and she is from the hell. Me and dh couldn't tahan her and asked for replacement. 2nd one came and left after a week or so coz her dad was dying. I didn't have a proper confinement and it was only 3 weeks. I didn't want another CL.
I m so glad that I m closing shop for good. Hee..

Thanks gal..
I know how stressful its to hear such comments frm yr dr.. But since the sonographer says it normal.. Then im sure its fine.. Cos if its really serious.. The sonographer surely will be able to detect.. Maybe after resting these few days, the water has went up to normal range.. Dont be so sad ok.. Yr princess will feel yr emotions..
Will u consider eating ginseng? Cos i heard frm tcm that ginseng will make bb stronger.. I have been taking a teaspoon every 5 days or so.. Not sure is it bcos of this my bb is heavier than expected... I bought from hock hwa.. They help me to grind into
powder form.. After delivery also can take to bu our body..
Panda
Did yr dr tells u what is the ideal weight gain in total for yr case? Normal singleton is 12 kg right? Duno for twins is what leh..

Singapoh, OG got sale? will check out. ya i think mothercare stuff when sale quite worth coz quality quite good. i bot 3 sleepwear for my bb yesterday at kkh...50% off, $39 for 3 and very cute they have integrated mittens for the sleepwear. By the way, i buy 0 to 3 mths will it be too big for the bb during her 1st month? or i should buy some New Born size? Thks

Bbhp,
It's always the best if we can have our own parents to help us with infant care cos we can't just leave the babies to maids. I had heard of many horrid stories of maids ill treating the babies when no adult is around. My mum is worried that I can't cope with handling 2 babies at a time after my confinement and she's asking a relative to help me.
I just went for U/S scan at ADC today to monitor the enlarged lateral ventricle. We are so glad to find out that the ventricle has shrunk to the normal size. Luckily we made the decision not to do the amnio test 2months ago. Both babies weigh 1.15kg at 28 weeks now. Dr Loh is quite pleased with the weights. My girl who is at the bottom has also turned around while the boy is still in breech position. Dr Loh said that there's a chance of going for natural delivery but may have the risk of having emergency C-section for the 2nd baby.
Nobody has approached me on the admission matter yet. I am planning to opt for B1 first, then if can carry babies to full term of 36/37 weeks, I'll change to A1. Otherwise if I opt for A1 now, I'm afraid that it'll be very difficult to downgrade later, just in case that the twins are born early.

Gan,
You didn't get to see Dr Loh again this time? This is the 2nd time already right? I always take leave to see Dr Loh at clinic D and had never encounter such problem.
I think KKH won't measure the baby's weight so early. I asked the sonographers before and they said it's insignificant to measure the weight so early. They only started to measure the weights of my babies today at 28 weeks.
Aunty Eng has just come to Sg for another confinement this week. I just called her last weekend to make sure that she's free in Oct in case I deliver early.
Working wife,
It's too late! My CL has been booked by Gan for the cny period. I think if you have twins and need to do confinement during cny, you really have to spend a bomb. I'm not surprised if your friend's CL asked for 3300.
Des,
How many undies do you think I need to prepare?
Pandawife,
Congrats on having 2 princes and 1 princess! It's a gd combi!

Baby,
In KKH, there is a clearance corner near the entrance. I remember buying a packet of 7 rompers. $7 each only. I only buy when there's sales. I love their material. Very comfy.
Not sure how long is OG sale. Now they are issuing their membership card (once a year) Just spend $75 to get it.
U can get a variety of baby stuffs there.
Motherhood @ Habourfront should be the biggest here. They hv a wide variety of strollers there.
