It's an exciting but scary prospect bringing home your triplets or more. Whether you bring all your babies home at the same time or have one or more left in hospital, our neonatal guide has some useful information to help prepare for this. In this section, we've put together information that might help you navigate the early days. It's important to accept help from family and friends and remember we're also here to support you at Twins Trust as well.

Firstly, don’t set expectations too high. It's hard caring for three or more babies. Take it in stages and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
