Premmie Twins, NICU & Trusting Your Instincts When No One Listens with Chontel Duncan

1 tim 18 min•20 april 2026

What happens when your twins arrive at 31 weeks… and you don’t get to take them home?

In this episode of All At Once, we’re joined by Chontel Duncan — mum of five, fitness entrepreneur, and twin mum — who shares her experience of going from three young kids to five, navigating high-risk pregnancies, premature birth, and six weeks in the NICU with twins. 

From being separated from her twin babies at birth, to walking out of hospital without them, to later having to perform CPR on her own child — this is a deeply honest conversation about the realities of early motherhood when things don’t go to plan.

We talk about advocating for your babies, making high-pressure medical decisions, feeding choices, and learning to trust your instincts — even when no one else is listening.

In this episode, we cover:

  • A high-risk twin pregnancy and premature birth at 31 weeks
  • What NICU life is really like as a parent
  • Leaving hospital without your babies
  • A medical emergency no parent expects
  • Navigating feeding choices and external pressure
  • Returning to fitness postpartum in a realistic way
  • Managing five young children, business, and mental load

If you’re navigating a high-risk pregnancy, NICU, or life with multiples — this episode will make you feel less alone.

Follow along for the raw, unfiltered reality of raising multiples.
