Q: I am a 21 years old woman in the sixth month of pregnancy. I am carrying twins and in the 5th month I had a scan and found that both babies are normal. Now, what care should be taken in the 7th, 8th, 9th months? My delivery is due in another 4 months.

A:You need to prevent complications like anaemia and premature labour. Get regular checks of your blood pressure and urine for albumin and sugar. Do not ignore any symptoms of frequency of urine or pain lower abdomen. Take adequate rest in the night and for two hours in the daytime. Avoid very heavy work like lifting heavy weights - e.g. wet clothes, books. Take a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
