Twin pregnancies come with challenges but are exciting for mothers. Mother needs to prioritise her health and well-being during this vital phase by adhering to various lifestyle modifications to ensure a smooth pregnancy.

Ensure A Balanced Diet

Try to cut down on junk, oily, canned, and processed foods. Eating small meals consisting of vital nutrients can help maintain energy levels and support the babies. Stay hydrated by drinking enough water, sleep well, and de-stress with the help of yoga and meditation.

Timely Check Up

Going for timely prenatal check-ups helps to monitor the growth of both babies and address any potential complications without any delay.

Take Family Support

Furthermore, having support from family members can make a huge difference in case of a twin pregnancy. Family members can assist with household chores, preparing healthy meals, or providing emotional support when one is in need.
