Abstract
Adjusting to family life and caring for two, three or more new babies, with possible health problems mainly due to prematurity, provides psychosocial and practical challenges for the multiple birth family. Specialist in formation, advice and support from professionals due to the demands of parenting multiples is needed. There is limited research into the lived experiences of multiple birth families during the early years and their perceptions of family life with young children who are multiples. The aim of the study was to explore the parenting journey of parents of multiples from pregnancy to starting school through the medium of family photographs.
