Anyone preggy with twins..? 19 weeks now.

Question

I’m attending appointment at the Stork centre @ KKH for twins, where they are more specialised.. I took the subsidised route this time round. However the past checkups, I spend more money compared to taking private doctor.. (My previous 2 girls was with Parkway East hospital and the second is KKH Dr Suzanna).. Erm maybe it cost more for the checks cuz it’s twins..? Since I took subsided route, there is a specialised doctor and a trainee doctor.. The trainee doctor is the one who asked me to do thyroid test, check kidney, do ECG.. I did the ECG though. But not the other 2.. Cuz during my 1st trimester with hyperemesis gravidrum, the constant continuous vomiting makes me vomit with blood, as maybe I have nothing to vomit already. And drinking water also vomit out again. Taking urine test, but not much urine, as not much water in my body.. Therefore I told the trainee doctor, that will happen only in the 1st trimester, hence I didn’t take the thyroid and kidney test.. I’m just sharing my heartfelt..

Hey girl! I was pregnant with identical twins, they shared the same sac and it was labeled as a rare and high risk case. I hope you don’t feel demoralised and beat yourself down emotionally for what’s happening. Just remember, the community is here for you, to be your platform to rant on your feelings if you ever need to. Don’t be shy even if you feel like you would want to talk to me personally 😊😉 As for the tests, take it with a little grain of salt. Usually the doctors would want to try and rule out certain conditions so that they can narrow down to the root of the problem. However, you have every right to say no, if you are uncomfortable with it. I hope you feel much better soon and congratulations to the bundle of joy! Don’t let anyone scare you about having twins, its double the work, but it doubles the reward 😆 jiayou mama!
