Twin pregnancy: What twins or multiples mean for mom

Caring for multiples

Healthy multiples have the same needs as other newborns. But you might need more rest and support than you imagined, especially if your babies are born prematurely or need special medical care after birth. You're also at higher risk of postpartum depression. If you experience any symptoms of postpartum depression, talk to your doctor.

Take time to enjoy your babies — and ask friends, loved ones and others for help when you need it.
