In last weeks episode we spoke with Jo Bird about her journey to having twin boys via IVF on her own.

In our first ever part 2 episode Jo joins us again to share what it was like immediately after giving birth and having her boys in intensive care, as well as the many struggles she encountered raising twin boys on her own.


In this episode Jo shares:


-      The long process of having her twins in the neo natal intensive care ward for days

-      How she couldn’t let anyone touch her babies for a long time

-      The everyday struggles of raising twins on your own that we don’t think about

-      How it’s even difficult going to the supermarket with twins

-      How bad things got when she and her kids caught covid


Key Quotes

 

“I had early on someone say to me that it was my choice to have twins and do it by yourself.”


“If I had of thought about it, I would have known for quite a while that I needed help.”
