7. Twins, pre-eclampsia, delayed milestones, and working full time with Tamara Jones


Listen Later

Mums of multiples have always left me in awe. Honestly, whenever I think I'm having a hard time juggling it all, I think about the mums with double, triple or quadruple the trouble. In this episode, I am joined by one such superhero, mum of 3 (3-year-old boy, Mason, and 1-year-old twin girls, Ivy and Lily) Tamara Jones.


Tamara's journey to motherhood seemed to all be smooth sailing until she was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia in her third trimester. What started as a bit of swelling quickly turned into a late night rush to hospital and emergency Caesarean delivery at 35 weeks. Then, a couple of years down the track, at her first scan with her second pregnancy - and planned second child - Tamara got the shock of her life: there were two babies in there.


In this episode, we cover:

  • mourning the 'natural' birth we never got
  • the importance of relinquishing control
  • what it's really like to have twins
  • how missing milestones can quickly turn to something more sinister

Plus, we chat about the unique position of being both the 'biter' and 'bitee's' mother at day care. #twinlife
