Dad's Guide to Twins: How to Survive the Twin Pregnancy and Prepare for Your Twins

I order this for my son, who was 1st time father Before I gave it to him i skimmed it. I was surprised at the information and great ideas for any pregnancy. It is broke up into sections for easy reading. The font is a decent size so no eye strain. I ordered other books on multiples birth and while informative the text ran together and could not read for long. His advice on what you really need was so helpful. Hints he provided on making things run more smoothly after the birth are the best I heard to make it less stressful for new parents. Our family highly recommends it.

Bought for my son. Babies came 10 weeks early. He only got it half read but said he liked it.

My son is due to be a father to twins and I bought this for him, a little tongue in cheek - he is now reading it on a daily basis as they prepare for the birth of their son and daughter - I think his biggest shock is the 600 nappies they will need for the first month!

While this book was good and useful, primarily for coping and making me feel like I was “doing something” to get prepared for the twins, most of the advice was general and surface-level. For example, a typical headline might be "how to get financially prepared”, followed by an answer "sell stuff on craigslist, cut your spending, and get financially prepared.” But, it was an easy read, useful to fellas who haven’t been fathers before, and, in general, worth the purchase, but it’s more surface level than I would have preferred or anticipated.

Being an expectant father to twins I wanted to start my research by reading a book by someone who has had the experience of fathering twins. This book does that and does provide a few helpful insights. It is an easy read and fundamentally calls out your need to be there for your partner and support where you can. The reason I marked the book down was to certain references in the book. I found it unnecessary the references to church, god and that your partner has to be your wife. Normally I would have stopped reading but I spent the money on the book and persevered. I am sure there will be something in this book for most expectant fathers so if you want an easy read and don’t mind that the author clearly has an issue of you having children out of wedlock, then give it a go. Good luck to all the expectant fathers out there!
