14.01.2022 Having multiple babies is amazing, but can be exhausting, anxiety-inducing, and isolating, but during a pandemic things get even more challenging for new parents. Here are a few tips to help you cope: Turn off the news, and instead listen to your favourite music or podcasts... FaceTime regularly with family and friends Join or start a multiple parents Facebook support group Try to get outside each day, even if it's a walk to the letter box Write in a gratitude journal or start a photo album or baby book Tell family and friends what would be really helpful to you right now. People are only too happy to do what they can to support you. Perhaps a meal delivery, activities for your older children, a pamper pack, a chat, someone just to listen to you cry or laugh Call the Beyond Blue hotline on 1300 22 4636 if you're really struggling. You're not alone!

13.01.2022 At sixteen weeks pregnant, Kathy Tepper was told she was having triplets. At 21 weeks, a fourth baby was confirmed. Four weeks later and 15 weeks premature she gave birth to quadruplets. Caring for a baby is far from easy, so imagine multiplying that baby by two, three or even four. Find out here what it can be like for a family with multiples...

10.01.2022 This is beautiful What were you told when you were expecting multiples? What would you tell someone who has just discovered they're pregnant with twins or triplets (or more!)?

10.01.2022 Did you just come out and tell them, or did you do something a little creative to break the exciting news (we'd love to see pics!)? What were their reactions?

09.01.2022 Surely all of you multiple baby mamas danced like this when you were pregnant?? Oh, and if you did, feel free to share your video with us.
