  • Getting really candid and open about my experience as a twin mom..
    We discuss twin pregnancy, twin birth, c-section, breastfeeding and raising twins! Even getting raw about how we handle "intimacy" in our relationship while raising twins.
    These quick answers are really just the tip of the iceberg on all these topics. Let me know in the comments which conversations you would like to dive in deeper on and I will answer any further questions you have here.

    Omg hearing you talking about intimacy and being touched out and having a full tank from the kids hits home! Such an interesting way to put it and see it and understand it! ❤

    Thank you so much for sharing your twin life 😊 I am a mom to 5 month old twin boys and it is such a breath of fresh air watching your videos on IG and can’t wait for more long twin videos… so great feeling more connected to other twins moms!

    Hey Katie! I am a fellow twin mum of 10 month old girls, I love all your advice you share on instagram and am so excited to follow along with your CZcams series. Thank you so much for sharing your breasfeeding journey, learning to breastfeed and EBF twins is a very challenging experience. I had a similar journey to yours and it feels so reassuring to hear other twin mums share their experiences. I would love to hear more about how you healed your Diastasis recti! Thanks xx

    Hey. I haven’t seen another person online who has the most similar story to mine but ten years ago. As my twins are almost 10 now but I remember this journey like it was yesterday and the cliche it goes so quickly is true. Best advice I can give is to take care of yourself often, as you are the lifeline for your children and your mental health is the most important.

    Hey Katie! I am a fellow twin mum follower from Instagram. I am sooo excited that you have started this youtube!! Thankyou for sharing all of this. I can not explain to you how grateful i am for you sharing your intimacy journey with us because my boys are 6 months old and me and my husband are struggling so much with this. You have basically explained to me and helped me understand my feelings by your experience. I didnt understand why I had 'lost the drive' but honestly this makes such perfect sense and you have genuinely made my entire day. Thankyou you are fab. Cant wait for all of your content! Sendong love and hugs to you and your gorgeous family x

      Hi!! The first 6 months are especially overstimulating. You really don’t have enough bandwidth and that’s ok. It fesinfitelt helps a lot to just acknowledge that’s probably what it is so there aren’t any insecurities between you and in your relationship. I know that it was a learning curve we definitely needed to understand to get to where we are now ❤ glad it helped you hearing my honest answer x

    The explanation about the “ affection bucket “being filled by the children everyday and by the end of the day it’s not something you need because of the bucket is already being filled. This to me is ground breaking information. Info I wished I understood during my new daddy days. Sometimes dads do feel emotionally left out, not understanding the why or cause. Thanks for sharing!

    Came over from TT, been following you for quite sometime! Subscribed, and loving the content so far. Very open and honest q&a as a twin mom I can so relate, I found some parts quite triggering, the BFing and labour qs even 18M later.
    Quick qs, can a diastatis recti be worked on 18M later?

    Love it ! Mama of girl twins 2 months old .. I am at the phase where they sleep their 4-5 hour stretch haha and I am super anxious about the 4 month regression … can you share the sleep training research you have done and worked ? When did you switch the babies to their room ? Thank you for your time 🙏🏽

    Would love a video on the exercise program or tips of what you did to repair your diastasis recti. Been given the 6 week clearance to return to exercise after my c-section but need some guidance.

      That’s great news! Congrats on the new bubs and I’m happy you’re doing well. I actually didn’t start exercising til around 3 months personally but I had a severe DR. So just focused on physio a little longer/ definitrly plan to share LOTS on this subject and exercising postpartum xx

    It’s so interesting to me that you’re married to the hunkiest hunk and you still are so used up that you have to say no ( in the kindest way). But the marriage still works and that speaks volumes about you and your hubby. Love to you all

      do you know what? you actually make such a good point! I do think about this all the time, like of course I am very attracted to him in everyway and STILL i feel too drained to even think about some days. I think thats what showed me this was something bigger going on you know. And I hope it normalizes feeling this way to others but reminds us to strive to work on this and figure out why we feel that way so we can change it
