615 | Hana identical twins, vaginal twin birth, breech second twin, no epidural, postpartum village, breastfeeding twins

from Australian Birth Stories · host Sophie Walker

When Hana went in for her thirteen-week scan on a road trip through Western Australia, she was expecting to confirm a due date. What she got instead was the shock of her life — two babies. Identical, monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins, sharing a placenta, and completely unplanned. Having already had two beautiful home births — a water birth with her first son Zephyr in Sydney, and a rapid two-hour birth with her second son Dali through the Byron Bay homebirth programme — Hana had assumed her third birth would follow a similar path. It didn't. But what unfolded was something she now describes as one of the most incredible experiences of her life.Today's sponsor:If you’re expecting, creating your dream nursery, or looking for premium baby essentials, now is the perfect time to shop at iL Tutto because our EOFY Sale starts at 9am on Tuesday 16 June.iL Tutto is Australia’s destination for beautifully designed nursing chairs, recliners, bassinets, CoZee co-sleepers, cots, nursery furniture and baby sleep essentials, created to support families from pregnancy through to parenthood and even beyond!During the EOFY Sale, you can save up to 40% off sitewide, plus we’ve got an exclusive offer just for the ABS audience.
