14 Weeks Pregnant with Twins or Multiples
When you are 14 weeks pregnant with twins, it will start getting quite clear to you that you can handle this pregnancy pretty well. Most mothers tend to see their anxiety issues fading away, and tend to be more confident about their body and the fact that they are good at taking care of their babies. The so-called honeymoon phase of the pregnancy is now upon you, as you will experience one of the marvellous periods of your life. The stages or scenarios that posed a risk to your pregnancy have reduced in their occurrence, but it still works in your favour to be vigilant about how you live your life.
The Growth of the Babies At 14 Weeks
The 14th week of your pregnancy will show you how rapidly your babies are growing within. Most foetuses tend to double their size from the previous weeks and start gaining weight and increasing in size pretty quickly. Their physical strength and affinity of their body increases over the coming periods, too. The development of the bone structure and the muscular arrangement has reached a stage that allows your children to start controlling the movements by themselves, leading to wavy movements that seem fluid and not jerky. The head that appeared to lie down most of the time might seem to be slightly firm as your children move around within your womb. Many first-time parents tend to have a shock of sorts when they realise that their babies are covered with hair all over, and resemble monkeys instead of human beings. The hair growth is essential for the bodies to contain their warmth inside the amniotic sac. Unless your children are born prematurely, all the body hair falls away before their birth, leaving only a gorgeous mass of hair on their heads. The womb is pretty much their home and the sac that contains them is what takes care of all their activities. This also includes any urine that they start expelling around this week. With kidneys fully developed and ready to function, the blood filtration process of the body begins and the waste materials are flushed out appropriately.
What is the Size of the Babies?
With a rapid onset of growth in the children, most babies are usually around 8 to 9 centimetres long and can weight roughly around 20-25 grams. Being pregnant with triplets or multiple babies can lead them to have slightly lower than average weight, which is fine. Their sizes, too, will be a tad smaller than your closed fist.
Common Bodily Changes
The happy stage of your pregnancy also makes your babies grow happily, and all these moments can be visible in the way your body responds to these changes.
The expanding uterus now starts making its place above your pubic bone as well. This is usually the stage where the tummy starts getting a pouch-like shape, which is comparatively rounder than what it was a couple of weeks ago.
With an enlarging belly and gain in weight, one of the body conditions that will start occurring is a backache. Mostly noticed when you sit or stand, the lower region of your back will bear the brunt of the excessive weight of the babies. Adhering to a posture that doesn’t put a strain on your back and making use of flat shoes can help reduce it. The intensity of the backaches is similar to the usual ones you’d occasionally have. If the pain is too severe, it might indicate a health condition.
Swelling of your belly is related to the expansion of the uterus while the swelling of your breasts is the result of increased blood flow and an evolutionary response. However, there is a different type of swelling which you would begin to notice in the regions surrounding your feet and your ankles. Many women tend to complain about this, which is usually a result of water retention within the muscles. While this is normal in pregnancy, including a lot of salt in your diet or standing for extended durations could make these swellings worse.
Symptoms of Twin Pregnancy at 14 Weeks
In the 14th week of your pregnancy with multiple babies, those horrendous symptoms that made the initial phase a nightmare would seem like a long lost memory. Some newer signs would make themselves pretty clear to you this time around.
The growing belly might be the most evident sign of your pregnancy but the increased appetite that you will have around this week would make you realise how rapidly your babies are growing. Their nutrient requirements begin to shoot up pretty soon, and your body’s demands for energy and calories will rise alongside them. Having around 700 calories or more, depending on the number of your babies is highly recommended.
A backache is what most women experience through their pregnancy, but if you are pregnant with twins or triplets, your chances of experiencing ligament-related pain are stronger here. The extending uterus puts quite some stress on the internal muscles and moments of sharp pain might arise randomly.
Hormones are what support this change in your body and make it an environment conducive for the little ones to thrive within. This also has unexpected and highly welcome effects on your body, such as your hair getting resplendent and thicker, with a shiny sheen to them.
Pregnant women seem to have received a second life once they enter the second trimester. Though the newfound energy might seem acquired, it is something that you always had, which went into hiding when you were suffering through the first trimester. Put this energy to good use as much as you can.
Twin Pregnancy - Belly at 14 Weeks
Since your uterus has now started making a place for itself around the pelvic region, the roundedness and the protrusion might start getting a lot more evident. That poking feeling will also help you feel connected to your child. Similarly, loose trousers and pants will immediately start becoming your best friends.
Twin Pregnancy at 14 Weeks - Ultrasound
Carrying out an ultrasound at this stage can help you see your twins or multiple babies quite easily. Most of their facial features could be recognised if their faces are large enough. Many times, you might notice your child smiling at you and make you feel as if they can sense you. As happy as it might feel, the truth is that their brain is sending random signals to various facial sections, and checking if the muscles are working as expected. So your children would be smiling, frowning, grimacing, and making every expression that they can.
What To Eat
Before figuring out what ought to be eaten, it is also necessary to know what needs to be kept away. Alcohol consumption should ideally be stopped right from the time you find out about your pregnancy. Similarly, keep away from any food products that might trigger an allergic reaction in you. Cravings could exist for healthy food items as well as products such as eggs, chocolates, and even milk. These tend to contain an immense amount of fat and cholesterol, which could be detrimental when eaten in excess. Smoked meat should be avoided at all costs. Protein intake should be your highest priority. Consuming meat that is adequately boiled or cooked is best, as are other vegetarian alternatives. Omega-3 vitamins, phosphorous, and numerous other elements that are found in food items should be consumed to help babies with tissue development.
Pregnancy Care Tips
With your energy back in its peak and your happiness at its highest level, it is time for you to start taking care of yourself by adhering to a few tips that can make and keep your life more comfortable.
Dos
Make sure you include enough fibrous food items as well as lean meat and nuts in your diet. All of these will help stimulate the digestive process and reduce the chances of constipation.
A light exercise schedule should be a part of your daily routine. Taking light walks or even starting a swimming session will be beneficial for you.
Dont's
Don’t attempt to wear your old clothes just because you feel like you look better in them. Ensure that your belly and your body is comfortable and opt for loose clothes for that.
Stay away from food products that are sold in the open or available on the streets. Even if they are boiled and cooked before you, they could contain bacteria and other infections unknown to you.
What You Need to Shop For
With your belly increasing rapidly, you can start getting some creams to keep stretchmarks in check and your skin healthy. Invest in a name book and begin to shortlist names for your little ones.
When you are 14 weeks pregnant with twins, life doesn’t seem like it could be any better. Well, it will get better in the coming weeks but also rest numerous responsibilities on you to take care of the babies as well as yourself. Being prepared is the best way to tackle anything that might come your way.

Dream Feeding a Baby
Your little bundle of joy can give you a tough time sometimes by making you sleep deprived. Though it is a very common problem that most newbie-parents face, there are various elusive ways of trying to settle your baby at night that you may have come across. You may have heard about various ways and means of inducing a good night’s sleep for your baby, and one of the recommendations may have been, dream feed. For some parents, this practice is God sent and works really well. Does dream feeding your baby really works or is it just an urban myth? We will talk about everything that you need to know about dream feeding your baby or how to dream feed a breastfed baby.
What is Dream Feed?
A dream feed is a way of feeding your baby in his sleep. You can either breastfeed or give a bottle to your sleeping baby so that your baby will sleep peacefully at night. The theory revolves around the belief that by practising dream feeding your baby may get better and longer periods of sleep at night. If you are wondering whether or not to dream feed newborn, you may consult your doctor for the same.
Why Should You Dream Feed?
Here is why you should consider dream feeding your baby:
It provides extra feed or calories to your baby while he is still sleeping. This will make him less hungry and thus he will not wake abruptly for feeds during the night.
As you feed your baby before he asks for it; this may help him feel better without fussing.
A dream feed is helpful for the parents as well because the parents may get a better sleep at night too.
Why Should You Dream Feed while Your Baby Is Asleep?
There are many benefits of dream feeding your baby in his sleep. By dream feeding your baby, he will not associate feeding with sleeping, which means we may not ask for feeds every time he is feeling sleepy. Also, you are not waking him from a deep sleep just to feed him and yet somehow feeding him. There is no requirement of settling your baby after the feeds as the baby is already asleep.
What Age Babies Does Dreamfeeding Work for?
It is often seen that infants or babies who are less than 10-weeks-old, sleep too deeply to be woken up and fed. At the same time, babies who are nine months or older usually sleep peacefully at night because they may be already on solid foods and thus may feel more satiated. Therefore, the best age to try dream feeding your baby is between three to nine months.
How to Dream Feed a Baby Safely?
If you have decided to give dream feed a shot, here’s how you can safely try to dream feed your baby:
Make sure that your baby is not in deep sleep otherwise he will be unable to suckle. Your baby’s lips or mouth movements may help you establish the same.
It is also important that you raise or elevate your baby’s head while feeding him. Refrain from feeding your baby in a completely flat position as it may lead to choking.
Though your baby may not swallow much air while feeding in his sleep, it will be a good idea to help escape any air that may have entered your baby system. You may try to gently rub your baby’s back in an elevated state to help release any trapped air.
How Should You Dream Feed if Baby Is Drowsy?
After you put your baby to sleep, the first few hours are the hours of deepest sleep, and you may find it difficult to dream feed your baby. However, you may try the following ways of dream feeding your drowsy baby:
You may try to put some drops of milk on your baby’s lips.
You can try rubbing a wet washcloth on your baby’s cheeks.
You can gently tickle your baby’s feet or cheeks.
You can try changing your baby’s diaper too.
What to Do if Baby Wakes up During Dream Feed?
Sometimes your baby may wake up during a dream feed session. It is suggested that you put him back in his crib and refrain from feeding. Babies develop patterns very fast at a younger age; therefore you do not want your baby to associate feeding with sleeping.
What Is the Best Time to Do a Dream Feed?
Many parents may wonder what is the best time to dream feed their baby. Ideally, you should give dream feed to your baby right before you settle for the night that is anywhere from 10 to 11.30 at night. It is recommended not to delay beyond this time as then it would become night feed and not the dream feed. However, it is basically a try and error method, and therefore you should try whatever is best suited for you and your baby.
Can You Offer Dream Feed With a Bottle?
Yes, you can try dream feed with a bottle as well. For feeding your baby with a bottle, slightly elevate your baby’s head. You can try putting few drops of milk on your baby’s lips for him to begin. Make sure you place the bottle correctly and do not let your baby swallow any air while feeding. When you dream feed your baby with a bottle, you won't have to lift your baby. Thus this may cause the least disturbance to your little one.
Does Dream Feed Really Work?
Are you are wondering whether dream feed is a sure shot way of putting your baby to deep, uninterrupted slumber? The answer to this is that every baby reacts and responds to dream feed differently. There are not much substantial scientific proof or evidence that supports the same. However, you can surely try this technique for a few weeks and see how your baby responds to it. For some parents this technique really does wonders, and therefore, you can give it a try too.
Why It May Not Work?
Where for some parents dream feeding is a blessing and boon, other parents may find dream feed not working. This is because of some of the following reasons:
Your baby may not be hungry and thus might refuse to feed.
Your baby may not like to be disturbed in his sleep and may get irritable and cranky.
You may find it difficult to feed your baby in his deep sleep.
Your baby may wake up even after a dream feed.
Does Dreamfeed Cause Your Baby to Wake Up More?
If your baby is waking up in the middle of the night after being dream-fed, then there is a likelihood that your baby may not be comfortable with this kind of arrangement. Every baby responds differently and therefore, you should not feel that you are making some sort of mistake. It is also possible that your baby might wake up to due to a habit or due to some other problem. Give your baby some time to settle to this new dream feed routine.
Should You Wake Your Baby to Breastfeed Again?
If your baby shows the urge to feed even after being dream feed, you should opt for breastfeeding your baby. Refrain from feeding for longer durations at night because your baby should be feeding more during the daytime rather than the night time.
When Should You Stop Dream Feeding?
If your baby has adjusted well to the dream feed schedule then the next thing on your mind will be when to stop it. There are no hard and fast rules regarding when to stop dream feeding your baby. Ideally, a month after your baby feels settled and sleeps for most of the night, you may stop dream feeding your baby. However, it is entirely up to you to make this call.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about dream feed that will help you make an informed decision.
1. Is It Too Late to Start Dreamfeeding?
If your little one is not settling in his night-sleep routine, you may try dream feeding. Though it is recommended that whatever you plan to try for your baby, you should keep it going for at least a week to see how your baby responds to it. The same rule applies to dream feeding as well. When you notice that your baby is sleeping peacefully at night, you can stop dream feeding your baby.
2. What If I Try Dream Feeding and My Baby Still Wakes at Night?
If your baby is getting up even after being dream fed, it does not mean that he is hungry. You may try to settle your baby without offering him to feed. The other reason for your baby to get up is out of habit. However, sometimes it could be due to developmental issues or if your baby is feeling sick. Whatever be the reason, if dream feed is not working after a week’s trail then this may not be for your baby.
3. Should I Dream Feed Baby or Not?
It is entirely up to you to decide if you want to try dream feeding your baby or not. As discussed earlier, every baby is different and may respond differently to such feeding techniques. However, there is no problem in trying to see whether it works for you and your baby or not.
There are pros and cons of dream feed, however, if it works well for your baby, then there is no reason why you should not continue doing it. If you have any concerns or doubts regarding dream feeding your baby, consult your doctor before you proceed with the same.

Beautiful Journey towards being new parents and embracing Parenthood for the first time
I still clearly remember that moment when I saw my little baby’s face and heard him crying. It was a mesmerizing experience, there is nothing else that can be compared with. After going through more than 15 hours of birth pangs I saw him, and he immediately stole my heart. All the memories of throbbing pain that I had experienced earlier disappeared within a fraction of second. All I was able to focus on was those tiny little feet, hand’s, eyes and cute little nose.And now that he is 20 months old I look back and am grateful for all those new-born parenting days which have made me patient, stronger than ever and have thrown a light on that side of my personality(motherhood), which I would have never experienced had it not been for him. And now here he is running all over the house shouting Mumma-Mumma...!! and Daddy Daddy…!! This transition from being happy couple to new parents has made our relationship stronger than ever.This wonderful Journey started with dizziness, food aversions, mood swings and with a news of his arrival. Me and my husband were on cloud nine and at the same time were a bit worried about the responsibilities and the impact this new change was going to make on our lives. Then came the regular gynae visits, few medical tests, captivating ultrasounds, food cravings, food restrictions, baby shower and few sleepless nights.It was Saturday June 9,2018 when our little monster arrived in this beautiful world. There onwards started the journey of our sleepless nights with our charming night owl. Those late-night feeds, Diaper changing sessions, burping spells, swaddling, those cuddles, cute little smiles, crankiness etc. became an everyday affair. Our parents and other elder’s in the family had their own concepts about parenting a newborn which were bombarded on us one by one. Though this new-born parenting phase felt to be never ending, eventually the sleepless nights turned into comparatively better nights, our little Monster went on to solid diet, the baby rolls turned into crawls and the crawls into tiny little steps, the vague sounds are now turning into meaningful words. This Journey with our little one till now has been filled with moments of joy, excitement, happiness, exhaustion, irritation and equally tiring. But despite all this we look forward in excitement for all those unexplored stages of his growth and development.Sometimes when we get our we time (which seldom happens now), the entire journey of parenthood feels to be a miracle.

Dos and Don'ts for Daily Hair Care
Everyday hair care requires attention, a good shampoo and conditioner and a basic general know-how about what’s good and what’s not. Major missteps on your part can lead to dull and lifeless locks. Therefore, adopting good hair habits will help in keeping your tresses sparkly fresh and good looking.
Mothers have a lot on their plate. From taking care of their kids to doing the housework, life can get hectic. So when it comes to daily hair care, many moms don't even have the time to adopt healthy methods to ensure luscious locks. However, it is imperative that moms take time-out to care for their tresses, lest they regret later. Here are some dos and don'ts, as well as everyday hair care solutions, which all women should follow.
Daily Hair Care Tips for Mothers
Hair Care Do's
Use a dry shampoo instead of washing your hair everyday. A dry shampoo helps soak excess oil without dehydrating the hair.
Use oil-based shampoos. Your hair will retain moisture, which gets lost when you wash them regularly.
At night, sleep on a silk pillow. It helps keeps your hair tangle-free. This simple tip will keep your hair from getting damaged.
For damaged hair, aloe vera oil is a great remedy. While the results might take some time to show, it will eventually manifest after regular use.
To prevent hair from getting damaged, brush and untangle it properly when it's wet. Using a wide-tooth comb will serve the purpose. The wide teeth of the comb will go through the hair smoothly and prevent it from getting tangled.
For shinier and softer hair, try out deep conditioning treatments.
Regular hair trimming can keep your hair from getting damaged. Cutting off the split ends will keep your hair satin shiny and healthy looking. If those pesky split ends are not tended to, they can damage the hair further.
Wearing a hat when you leave the house during summers will guard your tresses from the sharp rays of the sun.
To give your hair that extra shine, use the extract of half a lemon. Rinse after 15-20 minutes of application. While even vinegar and water gives you the same result, it is preferred to apply lemon juice.
Hair Care Don'ts
Stay away from bleach and hair dyes because they will dry and damage the hair.
Avoid using heat on your hair, especially when it's wet. Blow drying you hair regularly can spoil the roots. A heat protector spray will save your hair from the ill-effects of a curling iron or a blow dryer.
Do not over-shampoo you hair, as it could cause your scalp to become itchy and tight. However, not shampooing your hair enough can lead to an oily scalp and the development of dandruff.
Avoid using warm water to wash your hair as it can lead to a dry and irritable scalp. Also, don't wash your hair daily. Stick to shampooing your hair on alternative days.
Stay away from shampoos that are high on laurel or laureth sulphates. Chemicals in your shampoos lead to hair breakage and dryness.
These everyday hair care tips will ensure that your hair is maintained well and prevent it from getting damaged. Adopt healthy hair care practices to keep those locks luscious and soft. If you can, spread the word to your girlfriends and do them a service too. Read more

All About Rough-and-Tumble Play
If you have come across small kids chasing, rolling around or play-wrestling, don’t be shocked. It’s rough and tumble play which most toddlers and preschoolers enjoy at their age. Want to know more about it? Read here -
As parents, you must have some time or the other come across small kids, playing, indulging in cartwheels and somersaults, chasing, rolling around and play-wrestling. Or, you must have got worried watching your preschooler whacking other toddler’s head with his toy or sippy cup. This is what is called rough and tumble play. Most kids indulge in it. And what parents see as fighting, kids see as play and fun. Here, parents need to understand that it is not aggression or conflict. You will be surprised to learn that rough and tumble play helps children develop many skills.
Benefits of Rough-and-Tumble Play
They understand their limits and their strengths.
They understand how far they can go with other kids.
They explore social interactions by reading and understanding body language of other children.
They try to establish their competency.
They learn about role playing.
It gives them an outlet for their energy.
No wonder many preschools conduct rough and tumble play sessions like tumbling on a mat, bouncing, or a tug of war in a safe environment. It has been seen that more than girls, boys are rough-and-tumblers. There are a few reasons to this. From a very young age, boys are conditioned by the society to be strong and powerful. Rough and tumble playing addresses this need for power. Also, the family members always prefer to indulge in rough play with boys more than girls. They bounce them or wrestle with them. Most often than not, boys are found imitating how adults play with them. However, today’s children are exposed to too much media violence which has a negative influence on them. It might sometimes reflect in their rough play too. Here are ways to distinguish play-fighting from real-fighting and play-aggression from a real one.
If kids are seen smiling, laughing and enjoying while they are in a fight, it is rough play. They fight, they make up, and they keep on playing together. Here, no one gets hurt.
But if you find them crying, afraid or angry while in a fight with their peer, it is a signal that you should intervene and settle down the matter, because this is not play but a conflict.
Tips on Rough and Tumble Play for Parents
Here are some tips that will be of help to you if your preschooler is interested in rough and tumble play:
Set ground rules
Setting up some ground rules is very important. It helps avoid unnecessary aggression and kids don’t get hurt. For example, for plays like tug of war, wrestling or climbing over one another, set rules such as no hitting on head, no hair pulling, no wearing shoes, etc. Also, kids should know that this is just a play and they can stop it whenever they want or are uncomfortable.
Supervise
If kids are rough playing, they have to be monitored. Play can soon turn into aggression with kids. If you see happy and smiling faces, they aren’t trying to hurt each other. But if you see their expressions getting serious, you need to intervene to redirect kids’ energy, break the negative play pattern and get them to play positively.
Be gentle
If you are rough playing with your kid, be gentle with him to avoid any accidental injury. Especially with babies or toddlers, never shake them as it can cause bleeding in the brain. Also, be careful while bouncing your child on your knee or lifting him into the air.
Seek help
If you see your preschooler getting frequently aggressive during his rough and tumble play sessions, maybe it’s time you take him to a doctor to work out his issues.
Small kids are unable to express themselves well. This also leads to aggression in them which shows in their playing. But this aggression diminishes once the kids grow up and are able to express themselves appropriately. Read more
