Twin and multiple birth special

Jessie Ware
About this episode

If you've just found out you're having twins (or more!) you probably have tons of questions! For this special bonus episode I speak to Marley Hall, a midwife, birth and parenting expert and mother of 5 (including a set of twins) about twin pregnancy and birth. She shares her personal story and gives some invaluable advice on how to look after two babies at once.


Marley mentioned https://twinstrust.org/ and https://www.bliss.org.uk as good resources for parents of twins, multiple babies and premature babies.
