Re: 2 Heartbeats… Ma Shaa Allah
Your mom sounds like my mom - I just carried one hefty baby but my mom gave me the same things. They’re for energy and strength, i think.
Good luck with the babies! InshAllah everything goes well! Just focus on getting rest and taking care of yourself and the babies.
moms are always the same In Shaa Allah i hope thanks honnn
Be careful with the sweet stuff- gestational diabetes is really likely with a twin pregnancy. I got it and it was horrible. Focus instead on lean protein. Chicken, fish, eggs. Avoid white rice, limit fruits, sweets. I know- not a lot of fun when you finally want to eat after the morning sickness subsides.
I am not desi- just married one :). So my introduction to a lot of the totkas happened while I was preggo. I found that most of what my hubs family told me was not supported by my doctor, nutritionist or the books. But I always kept in mind that there are no shortage of healthy Pakistani babies. So, I would say do what feels right for you. But, if any complications arise be ready to adjust your plan. My mil brought me kheer after I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and not keeping my insulin under control. Obviously not good.
But honestly I wish I would have just enjoyed being pregnant more. It is hard with twins. No one with just one baby will ever understand. So, rest now to be ready for the enormous blessings headed your way!!
