In this episode, I talk with Paige—a proud member of the Twiniversity mom squad—about her journey through twin parenthood and the unexpected challenges that reshaped her family’s first year. What started as a smooth pregnancy shifted dramatically at the 20-week scan, when Paige’s daughter was diagnosed with a congenital lung defect requiring surgery right after birth.

Paige shares what it was like to navigate the NICU with both twins, including the emotional ups and downs, the critical role of hospital social workers, and the resources that made all the difference—from Medicaid to home nursing care. She opens up about the relief that came with finding financial and emotional support systems, and why advocating for your family’s needs is so essential when medical complexities enter the picture.

We also dive into the realities of transitioning home from the NICU, balancing medical care with everyday parenting, and the challenges of finding the right support team. Paige’s story is not only about resilience but also about the importance of knowing where to turn for help.

Whether you’re a parent preparing for the NICU, navigating a complicated pregnancy, or simply curious about the resources available to families with unique medical needs, this conversation is full of honesty, encouragement, and practical guidance.
