404 | Natasha, fraternal twins, PCOS, private obstetrician, planned caesarean, pre-eclampsia

Update: 2023-07-10

Description

In this episode Natasha discusses her fraternal twin pregnancy and her choice to have a planned caesarean. She opted for private obstetric care with a doctor who specialised in high risk and twin pregnancies and experienced a relatively smooth pregnancy aside from severe nausea in the first trimester and back pain in the third. When she started developing symptoms of pre-eclampsia, her caesarean was brought forward. She talks in detail about the highs and lows of early postpartum and what it's really like to care for two babies at once.
