Just found out its twins at my scan, still in shock honestly haha. Thoda nervous because i hear twin pregnancy needs extra care and rest. Any twin moms here who can tell me what to expect and how to manage?
Twin pregnancies can feel extremely overwhelming emotionally, especially after an IVF journey. Please take complete bed rest if your doctor suggests and take it one day at a time, you are doing great.
It is definitely a high-risk category, so self-care alone isn't enough. Strictly follow whatever your gynac advises regarding diet and movement, as twin protocols are different.
I just delivered my twins last month! Hydration is your best friend, keep sipping water, and please get a pregnancy pillow to support your back early on.
Wow, twins! I am still pregnant with one and already so tired, how are you managing? Do you have family helping you out or are you doing it mostly yourself?
Keep your physical activity very light, like slow walks only if your doctor has allowed it. Since it's a twin pregnancy, high-impact things are a big no unless specifically cleared.
With twins, you need constant monitoring. My hospital staff gave me a proper chart for dual growth monitoring, so definitely ask your doctor for a specific routine.
I freaked out completely when I heard twins, but trust me, your body adapts beautifully. Just take ample rest, eat small meals frequently, and try to stay calm.
Keep a strict schedule from now itself for sleeping and eating, it will help you manage. Focus on high protein intake and don't carry any heavy weights at all.
