Antenatal SessionsSupportive antenatal and postnatal information from a multiples expert. We recommend attending prior to thirty weeks into your pregnancy, as we know multiples can come early. The next available course is run online by Twinful Life in association with Multiples NZ.
Seeing more than one blob on the ultrasound screen can be a real shock.
We get that. Absolutely and unequivocally. Shock and joy mixed into one big wide-eyed WOW.
And you start wondering, "How are we going to manage this?"
Strollers, clothes, capsules, nappies, cots... and that's just the "stuff". The logistics of two or more babies at once can be a little mind-blowing.
Never fear: we are here to help.
We have been there, we have survived.
Mostly.
