What is postpartum really like when you have twins?

In this honest and vulnerable conversation, Jocelyn sits down with Graciela, a first-time twin mom navigating the first six months of motherhood. From an unexpected twin pregnancy to a C-section birth, intrusive thoughts, sleep deprivation, and the reality of needing support. This episode pulls back the curtain on what no one talks about.

We discuss:

• What it’s like finding out you’re having twins

• The shock of postpartum recovery after a C-section

• Why bonding isn’t always “love at first sight”

• Intrusive thoughts and postpartum emotions

• Sleep deprivation and the reality of twin schedules

• Why support after birth matters more than during pregnancy

• Moving across the country to get family support

• The pressure moms feel to “do it all”

• The importance of taking 30 minutes alone

If you’re a twin mom, expecting twins, or simply in the thick of the newborn phase, this conversation will remind you:

You’re not alone.
You’re not a bad mom.
And it’s okay if this is harder than you expected.
