Expecting Twinnies… This week Beth takes us inside her twin pregnancy experience and answers some common questions about what it's like to grow TWO babies.

From managing medical appointments to navigating the emotional weight of a more complex pregnancy, this episode is filled with candid insight, raw honesty, and those soft glimmers we love to find in the middle of it all.

We cover:

• How this twin pregnancy compares to Beth’s previous low-risk experiences

• Physical and emotional changes in the third trimester

• Birth planning: Caesarean, vaginal, or staying open?

• What the acronyms actually mean: DCDA vs MCDA vs MCMA twin pregnancies

• How Beth and her family are preparing practically and emotionally

• Mental health through pregnancy: the highs, the hard bits, and being held

Beth shares generously and gently - with reflections that will resonate with any parent navigating uncertainty and excitement in equal measure.
