In this episode, Alex Weehuizen shares her emotional journey through a twin pregnancy filled with unexpected challenges. From early pregnancy fears to a surprising diagnosis of twin to twin transfusion syndrome, Alex takes us through the highs and lows, culminating in a premature delivery. Her story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the incredible care she received along the way.

Alex is a parenting mentor, postpartum doula, qualified early childhood teacher and mother to twins. She is passionate about respectful and responsive care for both parents and their children. Her challenging perinatal experiences inspired her to establish Precious Beginnings, a 10-week postpartum and parenting programme centered around conversations. Precious Beginnings’ vision is to support parents so that they can connect with other parents in the same season of life and grow in their parenting confidence.
