FAQs About Twin Pregnancy Support

  • Not necessarily. While twin pregnancies do come with extra monitoring and a higher chance of complications, many women have smooth and healthy twin pregnancies. The key is good care, regular check-ups and knowing when to seek help.

  • Yes, it’s generally possible to have a vaginal birth with twins, depending on the babies’ positions and your health. An online midwife can help you understand your options, explore ways to gather additional information, make informed decisions with confidence and feel positive and inspired.

  • Usually, yes. Twin pregnancies often involve more frequent ultrasounds to check on each baby’s growth and wellbeing. Your midwife can explain what to expect at each stage and why these scans are important.

  • Our service complements, not replaces, your medical care. We provide the time, guidance and reassurance that’s often missing from short in-person appointments — helping you feel more confident and supported between visits.

Specialised Care for Twin Mums-to-Be

Dial a Midwife … we’re here for you - all the way

Finding out you’re expecting twins is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. Twin pregnancies often bring extra questions, unique challenges, and a need for more tailored support. At Dial A Midwife, our experienced midwives are here to provide compassionate, evidence-based care designed specifically for women pregnant with twins — all from the comfort of your own home.

Why Twin Pregnancies Need Extra Support

Carrying twins is different from a singleton pregnancy. With higher chances of additional appointments, increased monitoring and more noticeable physical changes, it’s normal to feel unsure at times. Common concerns include:

  • Understanding what’s normal in a twin pregnancy

  • Managing morning sickness, fatigue or rapid physical changes

  • Knowing what extra scans and check-ups are required

  • Reducing the chance of preterm birth

  • Preparing for the possibility of a caesarean or an induction

  • Planning for feeding and caring for two babies after birth

  • Planning for the possibility of nursery admission for babies

  • Understanding what extra care may be needed in labour, birth and for your postnatal stay in hospital - and beyond

Our midwives take the time to answer your questions, explain what to expect and guide you through the unique journey of a twin pregnancy.

Accessible and convenient

No matter where you are in Australia, you can book a telehealth (or phone) consultation with your midwife. We offer video and phone consults for women in the privacy and comfort of their own home. For new parents and families in rural and remote Australia, it is comforting to know that a midwife is only a call away. 

Highly Trained Midwives

All of our midwives are not only registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, but also endorsed. Endorsement is available to midwives upon application after completion of at least 5,000 hours of practice and obtaining additional qualifications. Endorsed midwives have a Medicare Provider Number and PBS Prescriber Number. 

Our midwives are experienced in all settings - clinics, public hospitals, private hospitals, birth centre, homebirth, private practice and obstetric services.

available

We offer flexible times for appointments and if you need a same-day appointment, we will always try to accommodate you. Use our service as little – or as much – as you need. We encourage continuity of care and would love to be by your side, online, as you journey through your pregnancy and experience the first few weeks with your new baby. We offer home visits for Sydney-based patients (an additional fee may apply).

Bulk-Billing – free care for Medicare card holders

If you have a Medicare card, our phone and video consults are fully covered by Medicare - there is no out-of-pocket fee or gap with a Medicare card. We’re unable to assist if you are outside of Australia or if you’re currently in hospital, and without a valid Medicare card, a small fee will apply.

Supplement your care

We’re super keen to bridge the gap in care between going home from hospital with your baby, and the 6-week check. We also know from experience that many women feel anxious, leave appointments with unanswered questions and find it so helpful to have a single, trusted midwife on the end of the phone throughout pregnancy and for the first six weeks after the birth of their baby.

midwifery continuity of care

Ad private midwives, we offer care for women as early as a missed period, throughout pregnancy and for the first 6 weeks of baby’s life. For many women, our service will provide the only source of continuity and consistency throughout their birthing year.
