Supporting multiples
Welcoming multiples into your life is an extraordinary journey. In New Zealand, around 1 in 60 births are twins, with roughly 1,000 families each year welcoming multiples (twins, triplets or more). This year’s Multiples Awareness Week theme, “Together from the beginning – one journey, many challenges,” celebrates the unique bond that multiples share, from their very first moments. Side-by-side, they experience pregnancy, birth, milestones and challenges that aren’t always visible to those around them, creating a connection that is truly special. Multiples Awareness Week is a chance to recognise these journeys and encourage our community to support whānau of multiples with compassion, understanding and practical help. 🧡
