No need to hold the baby. But PLEASE cook a meal, do the dishes AND the laundry and watch the toddlers so mom can rest with new baby.

Listen up, all you mamas who think you don’t need a nap….

Scientific research on the limits of human endurance confirms that pregnancy is one of the most demanding metabolic feats possible, as the sustained energy required to grow a baby over nine months forces the mother's body to operate at an elevated rate of approximately 2.2 times her resting metabolic rate—a level nearly equivalent to the physical ceiling sustained by elite endurance athletes, such as those running a marathon per day for several weeks. This comparison underscores the sheer, continuous intensity of pregnancy, highlighting it as the longest and one of the highest energy-expenditure events the human body can endure.

Women ask me all the time what I think. This is it- RRL tea is full of a lot of minerals that MAY be helpful and likely won’t hurt. The evidence is slim.
Dates are full of minerals. They’re food. But they’re also full of sugar (energy). So, enjoy them balanced with some protein, but if you have blood sugar issues, stay away. Eating 6 a day at the end of pregnancy seems pretty extreme.

Also, 2nd labors are generally shorter, so if your evidence is that it made your second baby come faster, that’s correlation and not causation.
