During a twin pregnancy, you need to be extra cautious. Here's what to avoid:
-
Skipping Your Prenatal Vitamin: Crucial for the development of both babies. Ensure you take it daily as prescribed by your doctor.
-
Taking Unnecessary Risks: Avoid activities that could lead to falls or trauma, such as contact sports or extreme activities.
-
Restricting Your Food Intake: Twin pregnancies require more nutrients. Don't diet; instead, focus on a healthy, balanced diet recommended by your healthcare provider.
-
Skimping on Water: Stay well-hydrated. Dehydration can lead to complications.
-
Exercising Excessively: While exercise is generally good, avoid overdoing it. Consult your doctor about safe exercise levels.
-
Drinking Alcohol, Using Drugs, or Smoking: These are harmful to both you and your babies. Avoid them completely.
-
Hanging Out in the Hot Tub: High temperatures can be dangerous during pregnancy. Avoid hot tubs and saunas.
-
Cleaning the Cat Box: Cat feces can contain a parasite that's harmful during pregnancy. Delegate this task to someone else.
