Giving birth

If a woman is giving birth to fraternal twins, would each twin have a placenta attached to it? Also, after the first baby was born, would the placenta come out right after she was born, or could it make an appearance after the second twin was born?

The story I'm writing involves the father having to deliver the fraternal twins, with no experience in deliveries. Are there any specific things that I should put in about how he handles the births (e.g. I put in that he tries to clean out the first baby's mouth with his finger when she comes out, but I don't really know what else I need to put in)?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone could give me.
