Back to EpisodesTwin Pregnancy, Pelvic Floor and What’s Normal vs Not (with the Mama Physio)
Description
What actually happens to your body during a twin pregnancy, and what’s normal… and what’s not?
In this episode of All At Once, we’re joined by women’s health physio and mum of three, Jess (also known as Mama Physio). She works with pregnant and postpartum women every day, and is also in the thick of it herself with four month old twins and a toddler.
This isn’t just another conversation about twin pregnancy. It’s expert insight grounded in real experience.
We cover the physical realities of carrying twins, including common twin pregnancy symptoms, pelvic floor changes and what to expect during postpartum recovery.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What’s normal in a twin pregnancy and when to pay attention
- Pelvic floor health, pelvic girdle pain and why it can feel so intense
- Exercise during pregnancy and the misinformation online
- Whether strength and movement actually impact recovery after twins
- Birth expectations and the problem with one size fits all advice
- Raising twins as a twin, and how that shapes Jess’s perspective as a mum
Jess shares both her clinical expertise and personal experience, giving you clear, evidence-based guidance without the overwhelm.
If you’re pregnant with twins or in the early stages with multiples, this episode will help you understand what’s happening in your body and how to support it properly.
