Brief Answer:
Vani-vilas or bowring hospital.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Free delivery is available in Vani-Vilas Hospital and Bowring Hospital.
The best gynecologists are available there.
Kindly consult in these hospital as per your convenience.
You have a twin pregnancy.
In twin pregnancy, the body of the mother has the double burden then single pregnancy.
So the mother needs more nutritional supplements as compared to single pregnancy.
The most important things which are to be taken care of are:
1. The mother needs extra iron and folic acid supplements.
2. More frequent ultrasounds to monitor baby's growth.
3. There are chances of more back pain, sleeping and breathing difficulties, and heartburn than carrying one child. You must take plenty of rest (preferably in left lateral position) and avoid lifting weights like wet clothes, books, bags etc.
4. Carrying twins can go into labor earlier at 36-37 weeks, as opposed to a single pregnancy at 40 weeks.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
5. Iron rich diet like green vegetables, jaggery etc must be taken. Extra calories must be taken. Avoid papaya and pineapple. Calcium in form of milk and dairy products must be taken.
6. Travel and mental stress should be avoided.
7. Respiratory issues in form of lung maturity can be present in babies. It can be avoided by taking betamethasone (as per your doctor's suggestion).
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
