Postnatal Care with Twins

After having my twins I got very little support in hospital and felt very nervous and to be honest scared about taking 2 babies home. I felt very unsure about everything and had not managed to breastfeed in hospital. We decided that some additional support would be helpful so looked to book a private midwife.

What we had not banked on was Tina, she was an absolute life saver! She worked with me to get me breastfeeding (which unfortunately was not easy for me), answered all our questions on the babies, ensured they were gaining weight and all other baby related support.

However the support which I had not banked on needing was the emotional support for me. Baby blues hit me quite bad and Tina was invaluable at helping me get through the first 6 weeks. I can not even begin to thank her for everything, if I had to sum it all up I would say she is a modern Mary Poppins just making everything seem like it will be okay (which as all parents will tell you it will be but with her help it seemed more believable!).

If you are looking for a bit of additional support for what ever reason I can not recommend booking Tina enough.
