Expecting Multiples?

Things are about to get interesting

Are you expecting two, three or more babies? Are you wondering how you are going to carry two, three or more babies to term and how you are going to manage once they arrive? Are you wondering how to find help and support?

Multiple Births Canada and its network of volunteers know and understand what you are feeling and the challenges you are facing. We have a large selection of resources that have been written by real parents of multiples, based on real experiences and successes as well as support networks for unique situations. It is crucial that expectant parents plan ahead for the period after the birth of their babies. Multiple birth chapters exist in almost every province in Canada. The best advice you will ever receive is to contact other parents of multiples - they know what it is like and have many tips, shortcuts and ideas to share.

If you are expecting twins, you may wish to get involved in this important international research study - The Twin Birth Study.
