Multiples support group

Eastside Mothers of Multiples (EMOMs) is a non-profit volunteer organization open to all parents or guardians of multiple birth children. Our membership area includes: Bellevue, west to Seattle, north to Bothell, east to North Bend, and south to Renton -- but some members live in areas outside these bounds as well.

Eastside Mothers of Multiples is a member of the Northwest Association of Twins Clubs. Membership in EMOMs automatically bestows membership in the regional Northwest Association of Mothers of Twins Clubs.

Eastside Mothers of Multiples has been in existence since 1969, known at that time as Eastside Double Delights Mothers of Twins Club. It started with 23 members and has changed a bit over the years. In the last 10 years, the club name was changed to reflect membership of mothers of triplets and quadruplets. Current membership includes some fathers. EMOMs has grown to a vital, exciting group of over 500 parents of multiples. According to the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, we are likely among the largest five clubs in the U.S.

One of the best aspects of EMOMs is the association and communication with other parents of multiples. Often you will discover that the problems and frustrations you encounter in raising your multiples have been experienced by other members and it is extremely beneficial to discuss them with someone who understands - because they have been there! Their suggestions and insight can mean a great deal. Being a parent of multiples can be challenging, but it is definitely a special thing. EMOMs celebrate parenting multiples.
