Thought I am gonna deliver!
13 May 2008 (@31weeks 4days)
Really had scare yesterday. Went for an emergency check-up at a nearby last night.
Since yesterday morning, I have been experience very bad pain on the left of my stomach until I cannot even walk anymore. Silly as it sounds, me as a 2nd time mum, cannot even tell if it is Braxton Hicks, tightening or contraction (or my boys are punching each other inside!). I just know that the pain really numbs my whole stomach and it get worse in the evening after I woke up from my evening nap.
So scared I might give birth anytime, I quickly take a shower, and have the remaining things pack into my hospital bag. Not wanting to make unnecessary trips to the hospital, we quickly went to scan and check up at a nearby clinic to diagnose the problem.
Thank goodness there is no sign of delivery since I am only 31weeks+!
- no sign of dilation
- no sign of tightening
- no sign of contraction
Good news is that both my babies are positioned head down now (cephalic) and the pain is probably due to the pressing weight towards my pelvic (previously Twin 2 was breeched).
Thanks to Wai Han again for guiding me to visualize the image below so that both babies turn down.
For mummies who wish to have their baby head down and have a normal delivery, do try:
- Visualize that the baby in your womb has turn (with the above picture)
- Speak to your baby
- Do exercise on four
- Play classical music near to your pelvic (good tip from Shooi)
It really works for me, when QQ was breeched and this time my twins. Just hope that my twins remain in this position ( although it’s gonna be very painful for me) so that I could have a normal and easy delivery again this time!
Hi,Chinnee. Really can feel the pain that you described. Well, rest more and take good care, my friend!
Yay! Both boys r in the right position edi. Hope u can find a good position to sit/lie down to minimise the pain.
Yah, I also gancheong reading this! You take care of yourself please.
Ohh glad they are in position. Wish you have a smooth natural delivery.
me too, gancheong gancheong. bless you and the baies
what a good news that they r facing head down IF u decide going naturally!!?? hope that babies don’t push
mumy too hard lar…..
though this is a false alarm, just be cautious all d time….never know!! good luck!!
dont worry..me also 2nd pregnancy also not sure what is false n real contractions hi hi
Phew, that is a relief! Thanks for the tip..I’m 29 weeks but baby hasn’t turned yet. I’m paranoid about ending up in a C-sect.
All those scenes from child births in movies come rushing to memory, especially that one with Arnold..
nasib oh… rilek rilek, breath in breath out o.O

please take good care ok!
Wow, I just realise that you will be deliver almost the same time as my sis…She is in her 32 weeks now…but, her is princess which she aim for…
heheheh chinnee…when i first read, i thought u may have given birth lioa…. no worries. take deep breath in and out..

wow.. so chi kek mer?? hahahha
relax, dont panic…..
Good luck ChinNee!! Make sure you have enough time to blog after the twins are born!! I will gonna miss you! Want to see them grow as well..
Ya, relax Chinnee. You will be fine.
Didn’t know visualizing will work. You’ll be fine.
good visualization, how I wished I knew about it when I pregnant with my boy, so no need to end up w/ c-sect.
wow..twin baby also want normal delivery ahh? you really ‘keng’ le!!!
Great to hear that bb is in position now. Now keep them there. My #2 bb was not in position even at 32 wks. What worked really well for me was that I played classical music near the pelvic area, to encourage the bb to move there to listen. I just stick my earphones there while I worked in the office. Really can feel the bb move one leh.
And in the next check up, dr confirmed th bb is already in position.
And yes, the exercise on 4 also help. Keep doing htat until your delivery so that you maintain good bb positioning.
Good luck!
Take good care my dear! dun worry u will be fine
you shocked me too..
glad to hear that the babies are in right position..take are friend..
hmm… I’m trying to imagine the pain that you described….and good to hear that the babies are in the right position……. double pain now but double joy later ya.. press on..
Time flies!! You are gonna to give birth soon… Take care and rest well
Guess what, I even told my hubby, hey, lets have another girl after that (since I know that nothing can be more difficult than to carry multiples in a single pregnancy).
Haha….I think I must be mad liao!!!!!
for a moment, I thought you might have delivered! good to hear that both babies have turned
soon soon few more weeks to go… hehe must b very excited
