Hi all,
I just found out that I am pregnant with twins. I am pleased but feeling a little overwhelmed. (I have an 18 month old too)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Congratulations. How exciting! Who is your Dr. here in HK? I am not yet pregnant, however, am looking for a good OBGYN.

Thanks.I am seeing Dr joe Chan, he is good but I'm wondering if there are any docs who specialise in multiple births.

brilliant news congratulations! as ykt said, the twins club in HK is brilliant and a huge source of support - do contact them! I am a member and we do seem to have a lot of pregnant members this year! have a look - there is a "pregnant with twins" mums lunch almost every month so you can meet and "compare notes". Otherwise, anything you need to know - best prams, etc etc - am sure you can email the club members! we also have used items sales (which includes large things like cots, etc) - which is extremely helpful if you need to buy two of everything!
Otherwise - it is such an amazing thing to look the two of them develop and watch that special bond that only twins have! Amazing! you are in for a very "special ride"! Enjoy and hope to meet you soon at the twins club activities!

Read some books about raising Twins. I am a mother of twin babies. U should learn how to breastfeed two babies in the same time before their birth. Otherwise, you might be very busy (even you have a helper). Get a breastfeeding pillow is a must

congratulations x 2 number 7!
there is a great book you should consider reading....WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING TWINS TRIPLETS AND QUADS by dr barbara luke. it is pretty much the "bible" on multiple pregnancies.
the MOMS group is fantastic here...the best resource is always other mothers.
and dr joe chan is fantastic. i have nothing but good words for him. his bedside manner is excellent and he ALWAYS takes the time to answer your questions. he is thorough and experienced and is really good at including your husband in the discussions.
our triplets are almost five and we can't believe the time has passed so quickly.
congratulations again.

Yes, join MoMs!!! Congratulations! It's great, my oldest was 2 1/2 when the twins were born, they're now 26 months, almost 27! It's not easy, but it's very special and a lot of fun too! I can't imagine a better place to have them than HK, with the affordable full time help. Go to http://moms-hongkong.com/. We don't have a lot of pregnant moms right now, most have delivered, but if we have a couple again, we'll start up the lunches again. We have about 60-70 members and it's only $350 a year. We do play groups, evenings out, special events, etc.!

Hi!
In answer to your question about an ob, if you are happy where you are then stay there.
If you ever feel like you need to see someone else, I was referred to Lucy Lord by a twin expert in London. I had a few small issues and she was very good, she also got a second opinion when she wanted to be sure about something which was very reassuring.
Twins are great fun. Good luck!

Hi there, Congradulations!
I have twins and have been to see Dr Gosh in the Bank of America tower. He is widely known for specializing in multiple births, and difficult cases. Best of all he uses a 4D scanning machine which can see a lot more than the normal 3D. He is very plesant and well informed. I hope this helps.
best of luck.
