00:00I am 37 weeks pregnant today, so as you can imagine, I'm an emotional wreck.

00:04This dad is going through his third pregnancy, and it has left a lot of people confused.

00:09Anytime you have multiples, your pregnancy is considered high risk.

00:12So obviously with the twins, I was considered high risk.

00:14I wasn't considered high risk with this pregnancy until I was about 15 weeks.

00:18I went into AFib, which basically just means your heart is beating too fast.

00:21It could be dangerous for your baby.

00:23I was basically told, hey, your pregnancy is not viable.

00:26So if you need any type of surgery or operation, basically your baby won't survive.

00:30This was a stressful situation, but Aiden had to stay calm.

00:34Severe stress can negatively affect a baby's brain development.

00:37I was able to get on some medication, a beta blocker and a blood thinner, and get that under control.

00:41It's just a precautionary thing in my case just to, you know, help me prevent myself from getting blood clots

00:47because that's obviously very dangerous for your baby.

00:49I will do anything I need to do to keep my baby and myself safe.

00:53This pregnancy has sparked debate and conversations have begun about the difficulties that come with being a pregnant father.

01:00Pregnancy has been very hard on me, as it is a lot of people.

01:03The vomiting is so forceful.

01:05I was throwing up so hard that I was throwing up and peeing on myself at the same time.

01:09Not enjoyable.

01:10Pregnancy is difficult for all parents, but it is much rarer for fathers to give birth.

01:15I was lucky enough to only get pregnant with one baby this time.

01:17When you have a set of twins, especially fraternal twins, you're more susceptible to having a second set.

01:24And thankfully, I'm only having one baby, but I'm not playing those odds again.

01:28Social media has been a great asset to allow Aiden to give his advice to new parents,

01:33particularly with how to raise a set of twins.

01:35If you have to buy something for both of your twins and they want the same one, just get it.

01:39It's just going to make your life so much easier.

01:41For pre-K, they decided it's one of these simple, modern ghost spider backpacks.

01:46These are like 50 bucks a piece, which is kind of pricey for me, but they're going to last.

01:49Lots of commenters have asked Aiden about breastfeeding.

01:52As he is a father giving birth, many people were interested whether his babies are fed from formula or breast milk.

01:58No, I'm not going to breastfeed my baby.

02:01When I had my top surgery, I knew I was going to have another pregnancy, so I had my milk ducts removed.

02:07I went through getting milk with the twins, and it was a horrible experience.

02:11How can I possibly breastfeed my baby with no breasts?

02:15A couple months later, the baby was here, all safe and sound.

02:18Everyone was so excited to meet the new member of his family.

02:21The baby is two weeks old today.

02:25That is so sad.

02:26She's a pretty good baby.

02:28I mean, like any other typical newborn, she sleeps all day long.

02:31I mean, like, literally, she might be awake for like an hour and a half, two hours.

02:35And she eats two ounces every two hours, but I think I'm going to up it because

02:38last night, she had a bottle at like one, and then at two, she was screaming again,

02:43and she had a whole nother two ounces, so I think it's just time to bump her up.

02:47I love her.

02:47Don't get me wrong.

02:48I'm absolutely sleep deprived.

02:50I don't know if you can see my eyes.

02:51My head hurts so bad.

02:52I can't even open my eyes, it feels like, but she's worth it.

02:57Also, mommy went back to work after being home with us for two weeks, so it's just baby and dad.

03:03It's just us.

03:04It's just us.
