If you give birth to twins or more and if they are well after birth, you will have them with you on the postnatal ward. The staff in the hospital will support you to feed the baby and look after them.
If your babies are born very early, they may need to be cared for in the special neonatal unit.
Taking your babies home with you is a moment to celebrate.
Dividing your time and attention between two or more babies can feel overwhelming. You may miss the help and support you had in hospital. Remember that your health visitor and GP will be there to support you through these early weeks.
Twins Trust advises that the best way to cope with caring for twins is to develop a routine that suits you.
