It’s so ad heavy, most of the relevant information gets lost. I appreciate that there seems to be a rotating panel of parents, but from all 10 episodes I listened to, not one dad was invited to chat.
A great listen if pregnant with twins!

My episode request is for one about at-home dopplers. I’ve always wanted to try one, but I’d love to hear all about them first, especially for twins. Also, how do I do kick counts with twins? Thanks so much for all I’ve learned so far! :)
Great!
