Twins in the NICU: A Full-Term Twin Birth Story, C-Section & Postpartum Trauma

If you're expecting twins or navigating a NICU stay, this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with fellow twin mom Emily to talk about:

• Finding out you're having twins unexpectedly

• Delivering full-term twins at 38 weeks

• One twin unexpectedly admitted to the NICU

• Breathing issues and oxygen desaturation in newborns

• Recovering from a C-section while living in the NICU

• Postpartum depression after a traumatic birth

• Medical trauma in twin moms

• What she wishes she knew before delivering twins

Many parents assume that if twins make it to full term, everything will be smooth. But NICU stays can still happen — even with healthy birth weights.

If you're currently pregnant with twins, planning for delivery, or healing from a NICU experience, this episode offers honesty, hope, and practical wisdom.

We also discuss:
✔ Questions to ask your hospital about NICU policies
✔ What to expect if one twin is admitted and the other is not
✔ Signs you may need postpartum support
✔ Why journaling in the NICU may reduce trauma
✔ When twin parenting actually gets easier

If you’re a twin mom in the thick of it — you are not alone.
