Back to EpisodesTwin Pregnancy Explained: Risks, Birth & The Mental Load with Sinead’s OB Dr Drew Moffrey
Description
Twin pregnancy is often labelled “high risk”… but what does that actually look like when you’re the one living it?
In this episode of All At Once, we’re joined by Dr Drew Moffrey — Sinead’s obstetrician — to have a real, honest conversation about pregnancy with twins.
We unpack the different types of twins,, why there are so many extra scans and appointments, and what doctors are actually looking for along the way.
We also talk through birth — the options, the unknowns, and the scenarios you don’t always expect — as well as what happens after, including NICU and how families are supported in those early days.
But more than anything, this episode dives into the emotional side of it all — the mental load, the overwhelm, and how to advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re “too much.”
If you’re pregnant with twins, in the thick of it, or just trying to understand the world of multiples — this one’s for you.
