With Blyss away, Dr. Stu has the good fortune to talk with twin parents, Anna & Jorge, and Midwife Nancy Pol about their journey with mono-di twins. Navigating the fear-filled medical system and traveling across state lines led them on another path to the birth they desired for their identical baby girls.

Twin pregnancies often come with a cloud of uncertainty and fear, but this episode sheds light on their beautiful potential. We unveil enlightening insights from a study revealing positive twin home birth outcomes, pushing back against the stigma of high-risk labels. Hear firsthand from Anna and Jorge, whose story of facing the unknown with courage and navigating the healthcare system with tenacity, underscores the value of training in vaginal twin and breech delivery.
