First of all i have two reasons for this post first because im about to become a dad in less then 7 months time , secondly i really would like to know from a view point , of any new or expecting dads on how is it
whats it like , after all the congrats have been gathered and thanks have been given , and the new life is beginning ...

I would like to know from Parents of first time parents that have had or going to have... Triplets or Twins ,
and how it affected your life ,
how you cope with the situation when you found out?
is their much difference in financial strains having Twins ?
was their and Complications , Before,During and after Labor?
and anything that if you could say hey, if only i knew that before hand?
*Especially for the dads that question :)

heres something unique , I would like to know the unique view point from both partners , how the father/ father to be felt and how the mom /mom to be sees the father coping or maybe not coping.

If you are a mom or mom to be , call over your partner and sit together
and see if you could help me and possibly other dads and dads to succeed
in becoming A1 Husbands and Fathers :)

Thank you for your time

Many thanks

Martin

hey my biggest advice is you will never be prepared:) Honestly you learn as you go you can be the most organized person in the world and these kids will turn you into a wreck but enjoy every minute of it because its awesome all the same! Respect mom because as much as youll try to help babys will need and want mom a little more in the beginning just be there to do what you can and suport her. If your lucky enough use your family and friends if they offer to help always say yes! You want to do it alone and say you did but youll go nuts if you dont accept the help and the break gives you time so that the time you spend with the kids is quality and not driven by sleep deprived parents....good luck and god bless!
