  Today Zoe speaks to Lala Langtry White, a pregnancy, birth and parenting support specialist. She is passionate about supporting individualised care for every unique journey.   Lala talks to Zoe about her surprise pregnancy with twin boys, the complications involved and their journey to today.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   After moving to Dubai with her husband and first two children Lala found herself unexpectedly pregnant…and with twins! Due to the type of twins Lala was pregnant with she needed specialist monitoring. Her twins had their own amniotic sacks but shared a placenta. At her twelve week scan Lala found out that the twins were in stage 2 of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. She was contacted by an incredible in-utero surgeon who offered to take on her case. Lala had in-utero surgery on the twins and initially it looked to be successful but after having a scan later on in the pregnancy there were further complications. At 33 weeks both twins were born via caesarean, they still needed support so Lala was unable to be with her babies for the start of their lives, which she found very difficult. But they were here and even now she feels so incredibly lucky. Lala felt really supported by the many health professionals she dealt with throughout her pregnancy and birth. She said we should approach pregnancy/birth as a circle that surrounds the birthing person, rather than an inverted triangle where we just look up at all the people who ‘know' more than us. Someone will always seemingly have it better than you, in pregnancy, birth and in life. But we need to focus on what connects us and this is where true support lies.   BEST MOMENTS   “It wasn't thunderbolts and lightening, it was you hadn't realised you were holding your breath… and you could suddenly breathe out”   “The NHS were my saving grace”   “The kindness of strangers means so much”   “No one has the intuition that a mum has”   VALUABLE RESOURCES IG: lalalangtrywhitesuppoort www.lalalangtrywhite.com www.TwinsPlusArabia.com www.smallandmightybabies.com   TTTS support - Arabia: https://www.facebook.com/Twin-to-Twin-Transfusion-Syndrome-TTTS-Parents-Arabia-1699149873687130   www.petalscharity.org www.tommys.org www.arc-uk.org www.sands.org.uk     ABOUT THE GUEST Lala Langtry White A pregnancy, birth and parenting support specialist and mum of four.   IG: lalalangtrywhitesuppoort     ABOUT THE HOST Zoe Cresswell Devoted mother of two (and a big hairy dog), UK trained midwife, doula and personal trainer, specialising in pre and postnatal fitness.
