Mumma Got Skills: Women's Circle

2.2: A Pregnancy Miracle, Part Two | Ellie D

Mumma Got Skills / Ellie D Season 2 Episode 2

Welcome to season 2 of Women’s Circle, my name is Carlie and I am so grateful to have you here today as we discuss real Australian women and their journey’s to motherhood and beyond. 

Today we are speaking to Ellie D as a follow-up from her pregnancy journey now 3 months ago. You can check out our first chat on episode 11. Ellie D is a successful web radio producer, podcaster, creative and all round amazing woman who is now a mother to twin girls and a 2 year old boy.

Ellie is back to recap on the journey since the birth of her twin girls at 32 weeks after 87 nights in hospital with twin to twin transfusion syndrome. They then spent a further 5.5 weeks post birth in NICU.

I can tell you that this chat is raw and real as much as it is beautifully honest. Ellie is candid about her very present struggle with her new reality and all that it is bringing up within her to be healed.

**Please note that there are themes of post natal anxiety and depression, trauma and ptsd related to pregnancy. If any of these bring up anything within you, please find some helpful links below and seek support immediately.
