In this episode, we sit down with twin mom Sinead to explore what it’s like to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care in Australia. As a mother of fraternal twins, Sinead walks us through her experience with Australia’s healthcare system—from planning a C-section to receiving postnatal support that’s inclusive, accessible, and surprisingly personal.

We talk about the differences between public and private healthcare, the role of midwives and obstetricians, and how Australia’s approach to maternity leave stacks up against that of the U.S. Sinead also opens up about the emotional side of twin parenting, the importance of mental health support, and the role that community and social media played in helping her feel prepared and connected.

Whether you’re a parent, expecting multiples, or just curious about how other countries support families, this episode offers a heartfelt, eye-opening look into maternal care from a global perspective.
