Take Care of Your Twins Pregnancy

Ma'am! I see two babies here! Yes, you're having twins. Here's how to take care of yourself during your pregnancy;remember, you're caring for 3!

Steps

 * 1)  Have a regular check up.
 * 2)  Rest, rest, rest.
 * 3)  Read "When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads" by Barbara Luke. It's the easiest way to avoid pre-term delivery, which is very common in multiple pregnancies. You will be amazed by how much the book tells you to eat in your first trimester, but do it!
 * 4)  Remember, it doesn't matter if you have had other "wonderful pregnancies"; this one is different. You are carrying two babies, you must take it easy.
 * 5)  Be informed. Knowing what can happen and how to deal with it will help you to cope with any situation that may arise.
 * 6)  Delegate! Ask your family to help you with various chores and errands.
 * 7)  Hire someone to help with the cooking and cleaning, if you can afford it.
 * 8)  If it is okay with your doctor, take an aquafit class or find your way into a pool a couple of days a week. The water gives wonderful support and freedom of movement.
 * 9)  Be loving with your husband. Understand that he feels the stress too, and is very worried about you.
 * 10)  Try not to stress and be happy.
 * 11)  Enjoy your babies! Play with them, share smiles and maybe even a small giggle.

Tips

 * While you rest, watch TV, read book, chat on the phone, eat, etc.
 * Enjoy your quiet time...your hands will be very full soon!

Warnings

 * Watch for signs of preterm labour (before 37 weeks). Twin pregnancies often result in early deliveries.
