Back to EpisodesWhat It's Really Like To Be A Twin Dad | Our Husbands Get Honest
Description
We spend so much time talking about the experience of becoming a twin mum.
But what about the dads?
In this special episode, we hand the microphones to our husbands, Andy and Zio, for an honest conversation about what life with twins has really been like from their perspective.
From the moment they heard the words "It's twins," to navigating pregnancy anxiety, birth, sleep deprivation, relationship changes and the chaos of raising toddler twins, they share the thoughts, fears and realities they rarely say out loud.
We also talk about:
- The initial shock of finding out they were having twins
- Supporting their partners through high-risk pregnancies
- What surprised them most about newborn twins
- How twin parenthood has changed their marriages
- The hardest stage of raising twins (according to the dads)
- The importance of making time for your relationship
- Their advice for parents preparing to welcome multiples
Whether you're a twin mum wanting to better understand your partner, a dad wondering if anyone else feels the same way, or expecting twins and wanting an honest look at what's ahead, this episode is for you.
Because raising twins isn't just a journey for mums—it's one dads are navigating too.
