We have members of the club who are available for discussion and support as 'people who have been through it'. These include breastfeeding contact, premature birth contact, IVF contact, special needs contact, triplet contact and bereavement contact. Within the club there is a Loss In Multiple Birth (L.I.M.B.) group which provides support for parents who have experienced the loss of a multiple birth child(ren). The group also has their own newsletter supplement. BACK TO TOP
