Motherland Australia

210: Kate Pearce had twins, then her cousin and her best friend moved in


Listen Later

Kate Pearce lives on a sheep farm in the Southern Flinders Ranges of South Australia with her husband and 5 year old twins. Her motherhood journey takes the saying 'it takes a village' to a whole new level. It took Kate three years and 9 embryo transfers to have her twins, who were born at 28 weeks, weighing just 1 kilo each. What followed was a three month stay in hospital before she finally brought her babies home to the farm. Then, just as she was adjusting to life with newborns, Kate's cousin and  best friend moved in... and what happened next can only be described as a  bit of a circus! This is her story.
