The Wellington Multiple Birth Club provides a network for those experiencing the joys and challenges of raising twins, triplets or higher multiples through support, education, and friendship. We are an entirely voluntary club and many of our members take an active role.
The Wellington Multiple Birth Club was started over 20 years ago to support Wellington families with twins and higher order multiples. Our coverage area is from Tawa to Miramar. Our membership is about 130 families per year with about 40 new member families each year.
The Club provides a range of services to its members including:
- monthly newsletter including information and articles about multiple pregnancy, multiple birth and raising multiples
- twice-monthly play group / morning teas
- social gatherings
- antenatal education aimed at multiple births
- library with resources about multiple births and parenting multiples
- equipment for hire
- support and resource people
- a network of parents and families who have been through the same experience
