| ADHD or Just Motherhood? The Mental Load of Raising Twins with ADHD Mums | 19 Oct 2026 | 00:56:12 | |
Is it ADHD, or is it just the overwhelming mental load of motherhood? For many women, ADHD goes unrecognised until they become mothers. Suddenly, the routines, responsibilities and never-ending mental to-do lists become harder to manage. And when you're raising twins or multiples, that mental load can feel even greater. This week, we're joined by Jane McFadden from ADHD Mums — an autistic and ADHD mum, neuroscientist and certified ADHD and autism assessor — for an honest, relatable conversation about neurodivergence, motherhood and burnout. In this episode, we cover:
Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or simply feel overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the answer isn't to do more — it's to take some of the pressure off yourself.

| Twin Parenting Q&A: Sleep, Toilet Training, Toddlerhood & Independence | 12 Oct 2026 | 00:51:22 | |
You asked, we answered! This week, it's just Gabi and Sinead behind the microphones as we tackle the questions you've been sending through about raising twins, navigating toddlerhood and finding your feet as a parent of multiples. From the logistics of taking two toddlers out alone to toilet training twins at different stages, we're sharing what's worked for us, what hasn't and the things we've learnt along the way. We also get into some of the pressures that come with raising twins — making time for each child, encouraging their individuality and the age-old advice to keep twins on the same schedule (something we have very different experiences with!). In this episode, we chat about:
It's an honest conversation about the everyday realities of raising multiples, with plenty of laughs, different perspectives and a reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting twins. Because sometimes the most helpful thing is hearing how another twin parent is navigating exactly what you're going through. Follow along for the raw, unfiltered reality of raising multiples.

| Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome: What Every Twin Parent Should Know with Dr Ini Thevathasan | 05 Oct 2026 | 00:45:11 | |
Trigger warning: This episode discusses pregnancy and infant loss, including the death of one or both twins, pregnancy termination, premature birth and potential neurological complications. Please take care while listening. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) can be one of the most overwhelming complications to hear about when you’re expecting twins — particularly when you’re suddenly faced with new terminology, frequent scans and a lot of uncertainty. In this episode, we’re joined by obstetrician and Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist Dr Ini Thevathasan to break down TTTS and what it can mean for families carrying twins who share a placenta. We talk through what TTTS actually is, which twin pregnancies are at risk, the different stages and why progression isn’t always predictable. Dr Ini also explains what doctors are looking for during those frequent ultrasounds, when closer monitoring becomes necessary and what happens if intervention is needed. We also unpack laser surgery — how it works, when it may be recommended and what recovery and monitoring can look like afterwards — as well as the realities of navigating TTTS care through Australia’s public and private health systems. We chat about:
Most importantly, Dr Ini explains why specialised ultrasound surveillance is so important for twins sharing a placenta — and reminds parents that they should expect care appropriate for their specific type of twin pregnancy. Whether you’ve recently found out your twins share a placenta, you’re navigating a TTTS diagnosis, or you simply want to better understand the condition, this episode offers a clear and compassionate guide to what can be an incredibly complex part of twin pregnancy. Please note: This episode is for general information only and is not a substitute for individual medical advice. Always speak with your own healthcare team about your pregnancy and care.

| Working Mum, Stay-at-Home Dad: Raising Twins & Rethinking Family Roles | Gabby Bate | 28 Sep 2026 | 01:11:59 | |
Gabby Bate spent six years at home raising four children, including identical twin boys. Then she and her husband made a decision that completely flipped the traditional family dynamic: Gabby returned to work full-time, while her husband Cam became the stay-at-home dad. In this episode, Gabby joins us to share the story behind their role reversal — and what it has really looked like to challenge the expectations still placed on mums and dads when it comes to work, parenting and who carries the load at home. But Gabby’s journey with twins began years earlier with an incredibly complicated pregnancy. After an early rollercoaster of being told there were two babies, then one, then potentially no viable pregnancy, Gabby eventually discovered she was carrying two healthy identical twins. At 20 weeks, the pregnancy became complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), before the boys were delivered at 30 weeks and admitted to NICU. One twin was transferred to another hospital with a heart condition, meaning Gabby didn't meet him until he was five days old. Then, when the twins were just three months old, Gabby unexpectedly fell pregnant with her fourth child. We follow Gabby’s story from those intense early years of motherhood to the decision, six years later, that she wanted her career back — and the family restructure that followed. We chat about:
It’s an honest conversation about what happens when a family stops asking who should stay home and who should work — and starts asking what actually works for them.

| Caterina Mete: The Red Wiggle on IVF, Solo Motherhood & Raising Twins | 21 Sep 2026 | 01:00:13 | |
Caterina Mete has spent more than 20 years with The Wiggles, eventually stepping into the iconic role of the Red Wiggle. But behind the tours, performances and red skivvy is a deeply personal journey to becoming a mum. In this episode, Caterina joins us to share her path to solo motherhood — from freezing her eggs in her 30s and deciding to pursue motherhood on her own, to miscarriage, fertility treatment and the moment she discovered her final embryo had split into identical twin girls, Dolly and Gigi. We talk about the reality of a high-risk twin pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, a planned C-section and two weeks in NICU, before bringing two babies home as a first-time solo mum. Caterina also shares what life looks like now: raising toddler twins, building a village around her, taking Dolly and Gigi on tour with The Wiggles and learning to accept support without losing her independence. We chat about:
It’s an open conversation about motherhood not always arriving in the way you imagined — and creating a family and a life that looks different from the original plan, but is entirely your own.

| Stop Comparing Your Twins: Paediatric Physio Ali Day on Milestones, Play & Development | 14 Sep 2026 | 00:52:22 | |
When you have twins, it’s almost impossible not to compare. One rolls first. One crawls first. One starts walking while the other seems perfectly happy taking their time. So how do you know what’s normal — and when there might actually be something worth checking? In this episode, we’re joined by paediatric physiotherapist Ali Day, founder of Little Ones Physiotherapy and author of The Baby Playbook, to take some of the pressure out of baby development. Ali explains why milestones are better thought of as windows rather than deadlines, why twins born on the same day can still develop months apart, and how corrected age should be considered for babies born prematurely. We also get practical about what developmental play actually looks like when you’re juggling two babies — including tummy time, floor play, cuddling and connection — and why supporting development doesn’t need to mean adding another long list of things to your day. We chat about:
Most importantly, Ali reminds us that our babies are individuals. One twin being “behind” the other doesn’t necessarily mean they’re behind at all — and supporting their development doesn’t need to be complicated.

| Postnatal Depression, Anxiety & Mental Health After Twins | PANDA CEO Julie Borninkhof | 07 Sep 2026 | 01:11:39 | |
When you’re raising twins or multiples, exhaustion and overwhelm can feel like part of the job. But when does the mental load become something more — and would you know the signs? In this episode, we’re joined by Julie Borninkhof, CEO of PANDA — Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia, to talk about parental mental health through the lens of raising multiples. Julie explains what perinatal mental health can look like, why parents of multiples are at greater risk, and how difficult it can be to recognise when you’re struggling when sleep deprivation, stress and overwhelm already feel normal. We also talk about the impact of high-risk pregnancy, prematurity, NICU and birth trauma, the loss of identity that can come with becoming a parent, and why the mental load doesn’t necessarily ease once you’re out of the newborn stage. We chat about:
Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that mental health is something to maintain — not something we should only address when we reach breaking point. If something doesn’t feel right in yourself or someone you love, it’s worth talking about. Learn more about PANDA: If you or someone you know needs support:

| Postpartum Psychosis: What It Really Looks Like | Katrina Weynberg | 31 Aug 2026 | 00:46:37 | |
Postpartum psychosis is currently part of a global conversation, with the Lindsay Clancy trial bringing a condition many people have never heard of into the spotlight. But what does postpartum psychosis actually look like — and would you know the signs? In this episode, we’re joined by twin mum and mental health advocate Katrina Weynberg for an incredibly open conversation about experiencing postpartum psychosis after the premature birth of her identical twins, Mumford and Murphy. Katrina takes us from finding out she was having twins, through an unexpected delivery at 33 weeks and seven weeks of NICU, to becoming increasingly unwell in the days after birth. At 12 days postpartum, she was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis and admitted to an adult psychiatric ward, separated from her newborn babies while receiving treatment. We also talk about what happened after psychosis — returning home with newborn twins, experiencing postnatal depression, waiting months for a place in a public Mother and Baby Unit and eventually being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. We chat about:
At a time when postpartum psychosis is being talked about more than ever, this is an important conversation about understanding what it can actually look like, recognising when something isn’t right and making sure families know that support is available.

In this episode, we’re joined by two-time Olympian and twin mum Morgan Mitchell for an honest, hilarious and refreshingly real conversation about twin motherhood, returning to elite sport and chasing another Olympic dream. Morgan takes us from finding out she was pregnant with twin girls Honey and Maya, through a difficult pregnancy, giving birth at 35 weeks and their time in NICU, to recovering from a C-section and beginning the biggest comeback of her career. We also talk about what it really takes to balance ambition and motherhood — training, travelling, spending time away from her girls, missing milestones and leaning on her husband, family and wider village to make it all possible. We chat about:

| Choking, CPR, Fevers & Head Injuries: Baby and Child First Aid with Paramedic Codi Ferguson | 17 Aug 2026 | 00:57:04 | |
Every parent has had that moment: Is this an emergency? Am I overreacting? Do I call an ambulance, go to hospital, or wait and see? In this episode, we’re joined by registered paramedic and mum Codi from Nurture & Know to talk through the baby and child emergencies every parent hopes they’ll never face — but needs to know how to respond to. From choking and CPR to fevers, breathing difficulties and head injuries, Codi breaks down what parents should actually be looking for, the red flags that shouldn’t be ignored, and when it’s time to seek medical help. We also talk about the realities of emergencies when you have twins or multiple young children — including what happens if one child needs an ambulance while you’re home alone with another, and what to consider when feeding two babies at once. And perhaps most importantly, we talk about confidence. Because in an emergency, you don’t want to be learning what to do for the first time. We chat about:

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most overwhelming parts of preparing for twins: what do you actually need for two babies? We compare our very different hospital bag experiences — what we packed, what we wish we’d packed more of, what we barely touched, and the random things that ended up being lifesavers. Then we get into what you actually need once your twins arrive — from feeding, sleeping and changing to getting out of the house, what you genuinely need two of, and what you can absolutely wait to buy.

Just weeks after discovering she was carrying twins, Cara was diagnosed with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) — a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that affects identical twins who share a placenta.

Most mothers of multiples grapple with the unspoken weight of mum guilt—and here’s why that feeling might actually be a sign you’re doing a better job than you think. In this episode, we’re getting really honest about mum guilt, mum rage, and the mental load of raising multiples — because wow, it’s a lot. We talk about the parts no one really says out loud: the overwhelm, the overstimulation, the moments where you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions and still somehow not doing enough. Sinead shares what it’s been like grieving the version of motherhood she imagined before twins — and how she’s learning to make peace with what it actually looks like. Gabi opens up about juggling a toddler and newborn twins, the guilt that comes with feeling split between them, and the emotional load of trying to be everything to everyone.

| Twin Pregnancy Explained: Risks, Birth & The Mental Load with Sinead’s OB Dr Drew Moffrey | 23 Mar 2026 | 01:05:16 | |
Twin pregnancy is often labelled “high risk”… but what does that actually look like when you’re the one living it? In this episode of All At Once, we’re joined by Dr Drew Moffrey — Sinead’s obstetrician — to have a real, honest conversation about pregnancy with twins. We unpack the different types of twins,, why there are so many extra scans and appointments, and what doctors are actually looking for along the way. We also talk through birth — the options, the unknowns, and the scenarios you don’t always expect — as well as what happens after, including NICU and how families are supported in those early days. But more than anything, this episode dives into the emotional side of it all — the mental load, the overwhelm, and how to advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re “too much.” If you’re pregnant with twins, in the thick of it, or just trying to understand the world of multiples — this one’s for you.

| The Support Gap for Families of Multiples with Silje Anderson-Cooke from the Australian Multiple Birth Assocation (AMBA) | 17 Mar 2026 | 01:14:07 | |
This week marks Multiple Birth Awareness Week, a time dedicated to recognising the unique experiences and challenges faced by families raising twins, triplets and more. In this episode, we speak with Silje, Chairperson of the Australian Multiple Birth Association (AMBA) and a mum to triplets and a six-year-old. Alongside her advocacy work, Silje brings powerful lived experience to the conversation about what it really looks like to raise multiples. We talk about why awareness matters, the gaps that still exist in support for multiples families, and what needs to change so parents navigating pregnancy, birth and life with multiples feel better seen and supported. Because raising multiples is a completely different experience — and families of multiples deserve support that reflects that.

| Welcome to All At Once | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:59:39 | |
Welcome to the very first episode of All At Once — the podcast all about life with multiples. Before we dive into conversations with experts, advocates and other parents of twins, triplets and more, we thought it only made sense to start at the beginning and introduce ourselves. In this episode, Gabi and Sinead share their own stories of becoming mums of multiples — how their journeys unfolded, what life really looks like raising twins, and the conversation that sparked the idea for this podcast. Because the truth is, All At Once started with a simple realisation: there wasn’t really a dedicated space for the honest, messy, funny and emotional stories of raising multiples. So we decided to create one. This episode is all about who we are, how we ended up on this wild ride, and why we’re so passionate about building a community for parents navigating life with multiples. If you’re a twin parent, expecting multiples, or simply curious about what life looks like when everything happens all at once, you’re in the right place. Welcome — we’re so glad you’re here. 🎙️ Follow along for the raw, unfiltered reality of raising multiples. Thanks for being here.
