Update: 2021-05-18
Description
In this episode, Leah is joined by the podcast’s first mother of twins, Danica Ramgoolam. Several years ago, when met with difficulty conceiving children, Danica and her husband Arvin turned to science for help. Here, Danica tells her story of IVF, including her initial urge to have babies, the multitude of daily shots required for egg retrieval and early pregnancy, and the smooth C-section that marked her twin daughters’ entrance into the world. Danica also gives us a glimpse into the life of a twin mom: tandem breastfeeding, the co-sleeping sandwich, double the cuteness, and double the work!
The Book Blurb in this episode is an Emily Dickinson poem titled, “Hope is the Thing with Feathers.” You can find more of this 19th Century poet’s work on the Emily Dickinson Museum website.
A few other noteworthy mentions include the Ramgoolam’s small business, Rumors Coffee and Tea House/Townie Books, Danica’s recommendation for twin moms who breastfeed called the Twin Z Pillow, an online course from Positive Parenting Solutions, and Rocky Mountain Fertility Center in Parker, Colorado, which Danica and her husband used for their IVF treatments.
