This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, we’re talking about a twin birth story. But it’s not just any old twin birth story – it’s about MoMo twins!

MoMo twins are the rarest type of twins out there – occurring in less than 1% of twins, and .1% of all pregnancies.

Most people don’t realize that when it comes to twins, it’s not just fraternal versus identical. There are actually quite a few types!

Molli joins me on the podcast to share her story of pregnancy and birth with MoMo twins. Molli did a fabulous job of telling her story and shedding light on the medical, emotional, and physical aspects of a MoMo twin pregnancy and birth.

A peek at the questions we covered:

  • How did you find out you were pregnant with twins?
  • What are the three different types of twin pregnancy?
  • What is the biggest concern with MoMo twins?
  • What was it like to find out you were pregnant with MoMo twins?
  • How did you prepare for the hospital stay?
  • What was it like being a long-term patient in the hospital?
  • How did you deal with the solitude in the hospital?
  • How did you prepare for the birth of your babies?
  • What is some advice for moms going through a high-risk pregnancy?
