The Tucson MOMs are a collection of diverse women who share a common experience, the birth of multiple children in a single pregnancy. We have had twins and some of us have had triplets. Some pregnancies were easier than others; some of our children were born on time, and some came early. We have had many sleepless nights and challenging days, while other days are filled with love and joy beyond compare. In the beginning of our multiples journey, connecting with women who share this experience is very important on many levels. We need the companionship, advice and knowledge of someone who has also traveled this road. As we grow and learn as mothers of multiples, we can then share our experience with new mothers and perhaps save them from frustration and heartache.
We would love to meet you and have you become a part of our growing family. You are always welcome to attend our monthly meetings or join us at an upcoming social event. Then, if you decide to join, it's quick and easy - just follow the instructions on the Membership Info page.
TMOMC has no religious affiliation and we are not a political organization. TMOMC is a member of the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs. NOMOTC, a network of over 450 local clubs representing over 25,000 individual parents of multiples, was founded for the purpose of promoting the special aspects of child development which relate specifically to multiple birth children. NOMOTC endeavors to support families of multiple birth children through education, research, and networking, while also raising public awareness of the unique qualities of multiple birth families.
