I am new to the Phoenix area, actually I live in Surprise. I did not see anything specific to our region for free support. Please use this to post questions and information to assist others in their journey to becoming mothers of multiples.



A little about me: This is my second pregnancy. My first time I was 19 years old and found a wonderful family that adopted my daughter. We are all keep in touch and visit at least once a year. This time around my husband and I discussed the idea of having a baby, and about a week later I was pregnant. I kept teasing my husband, Andy, that we were expecting twins or more. I laughed until I cried when during our 9 week ultrasound we found two babies. It was hard for me to find any good information on exepecting twins, and had many problems with doctors. Needless to say the two are doing more then great. Both weigh at least 5 pounds each at 32 weeks and they measure a week ahead of where they are at consistantly. I recently moved to AZ from CA and now see a specialist that knows multiples. They swear that we are not having babies for another 5-6 weeks. I think they are nuts and that the babies will come near the end of 34 weeks, but we will see.



I cannot wait to meet other mothers of two or more, and hear what advice you can share or need.

My name is Taylor. I live in Winslow, AZ but I go to Phoenix around once a month. I have two year old twin boys (faternal). I would love to know more about free services as well, as I'm sure all of us do. :) Currently all I have found on my own are the playgrounds at most malls. The indoor ones at this time of year are especially appreciated. If you hear of any more services please post them, as will I.

Welcome to AZ. My name is Robin, I have one 16 month old boy and am currently expecting twins in Aug/ Sept. I have kept my same OB from my first pregnancy because I LOVE LOVE LOVE him and the hospital he delivers at has a level II NICU, so I feel pretty comfortable :) We will keep the same prediatrician my son has once they are home :)

My current goal is to make it to 30 weeks and then I would love to make it to 35 then 37. I will take whatever I can get after 30 tho :)

Since I can't tell when you posted, are you still at 32 weeks or have you delivered already?

Hi, my name is Tasha. Im 29, and I have been married for 12 years. I have a 10 year old and a set of 7 year olds. All boys. I had my twins in CA, and had a hard time finding a peditrician. I finally found one, and she has been awesome. I had my twins at 30 weeks. They were 4lb 11oz and 5lbs 13oz. I loved being pregnant and would do it again, but three is enough.
