Seeking Twin Support
Your doctor may know if your community is served by a branch of the Mother of Twins Club Inc. If there is not one near you, or if you would like more information, write the national club at 12404 Princess Jeanne NE, Albuquerque NM 87112. Joining this group while you are pregnant may be the best thing you can do for yourself and your babies. After coming home from the hospital, you’ll receive the moral support of others in your situation and possibly some physical support as well. Club meetings offer speakers, workshops, and clothing and equipment exchanges, as well as social benefits. The national group publishes a quarterly newsletter and other helpful and informative literature.
The Center for the Study of Multiple Birth [333 E. Superior Street, Suite 476, Chicago Il. 60611] provides information for parents, serves as a clearinghouse for information on twin research, and operates a bookstore. If you live in Canada, you can obtain information about twins by writing to Parents of Multiple Births Association of Canada, 283 7th Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1J 1H6.
