Being a twin mom can be amazing and magical (that twin bond is unlike anything we've ever witnessed!), but it can also be isolating and overwhelming. Your host, Jess Sittig (a twin mama herself!), will be chatting with other twin moms, diving deep into the twin experience, giving advice on what works for them so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Juggling two babies at the same time is challenging, but we're confident we can learn from each other and figure out how to raise these babies together!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T20:17:01.897557+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342"},"episode":{"title":"A Twin Home Birth Story: Making Informed Decisions, Braving an Unmedicated Birth & Self-Advocacy","slug":"a-twin-home-birth-story-making-informed-decisions-braving-an-unmedicated-birth-self-advocacy","published_at":"2026-07-16T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342/a-twin-home-birth-story-making-informed-decisions-braving-an-unmedicated-birth-self-advocacy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f721d8a198c8936d6032a3975c18191b528536b4cd8e000e24c68a8b4b12e17/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzNjFhOTFhOS0wNTk1LTQzNDgtYWIwYS0yNGRhN2VmYWQwOTgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJlZTYyNjcyZi01OWFjLTRhMDItOGYxMy00MjcyNmZmZTUxMDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTM2NTJiODllZjVhNzg3N2IxOTEwMWIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE1ODU1M2FiYzRjM2M4NDU2NzA1MjkxL3RyYWlsZXItdG1sLXBvZGNhc3QtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi03LTE2X181LTUxLTIyLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/0f721d8a198c8936d6032a3975c18191b528536b4cd8e000e24c68a8b4b12e17/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIzNjFhOTFhOS0wNTk1LTQzNDgtYWIwYS0yNGRhN2VmYWQwOTgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJlZTYyNjcyZi01OWFjLTRhMDItOGYxMy00MjcyNmZmZTUxMDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTM2NTJiODllZjVhNzg3N2IxOTEwMWIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmE1ODU1M2FiYzRjM2M4NDU2NzA1MjkxL3RyYWlsZXItdG1sLXBvZGNhc3QtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi03LTE2X181LTUxLTIyLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"#27: In this episode, Victoria McGuckin shares her inspiring unmedicated twin home birth story, tips for managing labor pain, and empowering advice for moms.
