Episode 13 Pt 1 - Nour's Pregnancy | Twi...

Laura | Mama Becoming
About this episode

In this episode of Mama Becoming, Nour shares her deeply personal journey to motherhood after two years of unexplained infertility. She opens up about the emotional and physical toll of trying to conceive, her successful IVF experience, and the surprise of discovering she was expecting twins.

Nour also discusses the challenges of early pregnancy, including a threatened miscarriage and switching doctors in her third trimester to pursue a natural twin birth. Her story is a beautiful example of informed choice, self-trust, and surrender — culminating in the unmedicated vaginal birth of her two baby boys.

This episode is filled with wisdom, warmth, and a powerful reminder that sometimes, the right support shows up exactly when we need it.
