Hey Dads, it's completely normal to need support during the twin pregnancy. Yes, support for you.

During a twin pregnancy, the physical and emotional spotlight is naturally on your partner, but your role, your mental health, and your emotional well-being matter deeply.

Here are some ideas on how to maintain your mental and emotional footing during this intense time.

When I found out we were having twins, on of my first thoughts after the initial shock wore off was: "Where are we going to put all their stuff?"

Fathers expecting twins often have specific concerns that tend to be exaggerated or misguided.

Let me share some perspective and practical advice on how to handle these situations with confidence.

As a father of twins who has weathered countless "double emergencies," I'm here to tell you that yes, you will survive those moments when both babies need you desperately at the exact same time.

Whether it's one spitting up while the other has a diaper explosion, or both wailing for different urgent reasons, these situations are inevitable with twins.

Here's my battle-tested approach to handling these high-stress moments.

The urge to compare twins is one of the most natural yet challenging aspects of parenting multiples.
