Today on Out Loud, we’re talking bumps, babies… and the latest twist in Jessie’s twin pregnancy saga. Because of course her pregnancy couldn’t just be straightforward. No, no — we’ve now reached the stage where Jessie is simultaneously glowing, exhausted, wildly hungry, and convinced the twins are plotting a hostile takeover of her abdominal real estate.
Holly has thoughts (obviously), mostly involving the logistics of raising two infants at once and whether Jessie’s house should now legally qualify as a childcare centre. Em brings the science, the scepticism, and a few follow-up questions no one asked for but everyone absolutely needed.
We break down the newest update from Jessie’s OB appointment, the wild predictions from the internet aunties, and why “twin time” is not a real concept but Jessie is insisting on using it anyway.
Plus, the eternal question: at what point in a twin pregnancy is it acceptable to demand snacks from strangers?
