Joyce gently caressed her belly, "You all are too anxious. It's just having a baby, nothing extraordinary. The doctor assured me of a natural birth, so don't worry."

Joyce shook her head, "No, the doctor specifically warned me. During pregnancy, especially towards the end, it's crucial to control weight. With twins like mine, wanting a natural birth, the children can't be too big. No sweets, only 100 grams of fruit per day, strictly controlled."
