As many women find, being pregnant with or already having High Order Multiples (Supertwins) can be a very exciting, scary and lonely place. MOST was started to help these families traverse the wonderful road ahead of them. One way in which MOST does this is by having online groups to meet a variety of needs.
MOST
Double Digits:
Has
it happened in your house yet? You wake up, hear a lot of chatter in the
kitchen, walk out expecting to see your “babies” sitting in
their highchairs with HUGE smiles on their faces because they are so EXCITED
to see you – you blink – and before you know it, you’re
looking at teenagers sitting at the table fighting about who needs to
be where at what time and the only one in the room excited to see you
is your dog?
Many of us are at this stage in our children’s lives. We’re out of the baby stages, and ready to embark on another new adventure of raising preteens/teenagers. This brings on so many new challenges, joys and questions. To help “ease” our anxieties, and find support from other multiple moms, MOST is pleased to introduce our newest email group, “Double Digits” for families with one or more children 10 years and older.
MOST
QQS:
Otherwise known as Quadruplets, Quintuplets, Sextuplets and More
Specialized support for families with QQS from the nations experts: the only people who would truly know what your life may be like and can honestly say “I know exactly what you are talking about”- other parents of QQS. Currently over 125 families belong to this group, where we share the experiences (trials and errors?) of raising a lot of children the same age. If you are expecting quads, quints or more or already have them in your family as a MOST member you are welcome to join!
MOST
Special Needs:
For families who either deliver very premature or have one or more children
with ongoing medical, developmental or learning challenges.
Special Needs families of higher order multiples are sometimes faced with unique needs beyond the challenges of a multiple birth. Our families have children who range in age from newborns to teenagers. This group is open to any member of MOST who would like to share information, resources, joys and struggles of raising children with special challenges. We also offer information and support regarding 504 plans and IEP considerations.
MOST Large Family:
This
group is for any HOM (higher order multiple birth) family of 5 or more
children. It is a great group to learn how to handle the daily issues
of raising many children and even how to take care of yourself while doing
it. It is helpful to hear what other families do about the same issues
you have such as groceries, cooking, laundry, chores, and the every day
life with a family that may be a bit larger than most and to just laugh
and relax with others who understand.
MOST
School Age:
Members
with school age (K-12) triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets,
or more can join. Through this group the members can share resources,
questions, and ideas, as well as the challenges and rewards of day-to-day
life as their multiples grow older. If your multiples are within 6 months
of kindergarten or are already in elementary, junior high or high school,
we hope you join.
MOST
Single Parent:
This group provides support for families headed by a single parent (single
by choice, divorced, widowed, separated, never married). It is designed
to facilitate peer-to-peer support through the exchange of ideas and experiences
between MOST members who are single mothers or fathers of high order multiples.
MOST
Regional Groups:
Based
on USA geographical areas these nine groups will let members meet other
families in their state and region. All families with triplets, quadruplets,
quintuplets and more are welcome! Not only can you find families close
to you, but even learn things about States near you, that you never knew
(like fun vacation spots!).
AC
is the network
for the Area Coordinators MOST’s dedicated volunteers that support
families within their communities and this network allows them to obtain
and share information to make it easier for them to do so and at the same
time receive support themselves. They can ask questions or receive ideas
about how to support expectant or new mothers, start a local group, support
in navigating the growth and challenges or local groups and the very basic
but very necessary support they also need to make life with multiples
easier and fun. If you would like to help other MOST families contact
the office (info@MOSTonline.org) to become an Area Coordinator. Your help
would be greatly appreciated!
