The test is done by another consultant in Raffles, supposingly a specialist in high risk pregnancy. Well, he did the usual scans using his machine and then we sit down for the consultation.
This is when he start telling us the risk associated with twin pregnancy. All those things about higher risk of this, higher risk of that. The best part is, he told us he can't see a membrane separating our twins and he is going to classify them as single sac twins which occurs in less than 1% of twins pregnancy.
The twins in a single sac will mean 100% their cord will entangle together and almost 100% they'll need to be born early/premature.
Shubin was almost on the verge of crying when she heard that.
Luckily after this doctor's session, we're supposed to see our gynae again. We told him about the single sac finding but he doesn't agree. He remembered he sees 2 sacs the last time round.
So we went into his checkup room to have another scan, this time using Dr Tan's own machine. One scan and indeed we can see the membrane indicating 2 sacs clearly. Here's the proof. You can't see the pic clearly but we can see it very clearly in Dr Tan's machine.
After this incident, we decided never ever think of changing a gynae. No even to another consultant in the same hospital. The machine they use can yield different result and imagine how much difference that can make. Especially when yours is a high risk pregnancy...
