E220. Expecting Twins or Triplets? What Parents Really Need to Know

Welcome to today’s episode and buckle up, because we’re diving into the world of Twins, triplets and more. What’s it really like to be pregnant with, and raise twins, triplets or more? In this episode of the Midwife Pip Podcast, Pip is joined by Helen Peck, Head of Healthcare Engagement and Research at the Twins Trust, for an honest, heart-warming and eye-opening conversation about life with multiples. From high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care to feeding decisions, exhaustion, and the magic of watching tiny humans grow side by side, nothing is off the table. Helen shares her own powerful story as a mum to identical twins, born after a complex and anxious pregnancy, and how a chance connection with the Twins Trust became her lifeline and eventually her life’s work. Together, Pip and Helen unpack the realities parents of multiples face: the isolation, the overwhelm, the relentless logistics… and the joy, humour and unbreakable bonds that only families of multiples truly understand. From what parents of twins and triplets wish they’d known during pregnancy to the importance of specialist care, informed choice, and having a voice. Whether you’re expecting multiples, supporting someone who is, or simply fascinated by the extraordinary strength of parents who do this every day, this episode will leave you feeling informed, reassured, and deeply inspired.
