Expectant and New Parents
Congratulations!
Whether you're expecting or already parenting your newest arrivals, our community offers educational, emotional, and community support from families who understand.
Year One Program
For expecting parents through the first year
Monthly meetings held virtually and in-person in Seattle. These are free of charge to members, as well as prospective members who wish to learn more about the club before joining.
SFOM PEMS Groups: Providing Early Multiples Support
For families with babies aged 0-16 weeks (adjusted age)
Meet weekly for 10 weeks with other families and an experienced group leader to share highs and lows, discuss a topic, and socialize.
Right now groups are meeting for ten consecutive weeks, with weeks 5 and 10 in-person, and the rest of the meetings are virtual.
Preemie Closet
Twins and higher order multiples are generally at a higher risk of being born prematurely and at a lower birth weight. Fortunately, with help of new technologies, preemies do very well and grow quickly. Small babies do require preemie clothes although they grow out of them quickly. These clothes can be hard to find and expensive. Members can borrow before or after delivery.
Contact info@seattlemultiples.org to borrow clothes, to return clothes that you’ve borrowed (don’t worry if it has been a long time!) or to make donations. The Preemie Closet depends on the donations and generosity of our members and others.
Ready to start shopping for gear, clothes, and toys? Members shop early at our consignment sale! Sales happen in the spring and autumn. Save the date!
Check out our list of local resources for birthing classes, parenting support, our favorite Seattle-area family websites, and other organizations that can support your parenting journey.
Ready to join?
Seattle Families of Multiples (SFOM) membership is open to parents and guardians of multiples (twins, triplets, or more) — including parents who are currently pregnant with multiples — who reside in the greater Seattle area.
