New and Expectant Mom Support

We provide support for CMOMs who are expecting and for new members with children under age 3 months.  It is the goal of our New and Expectant Mom Support program to offer our new and expectant members advice and support regarding their pregnancy, navigating the first months as a parent(s) of multiples, and to help acquaint them to the CMOMs organization.

Each new and expectant member is assigned a New Mom support Leader (NL).  This is their liaison to the world of multiples and to the CMOMs organization.  This member is dedicated to being an active supporter of the new or expectant member and will communicate with them via email and phone calls.  The NL will also post a birth announcement for the member on the CMOMs internal website once her babies have arrived (provided the member would like for this to be posted).

This is wonderful support provided to new and expectant members as they embark on their journey to the world of multiples.  This group offers local, personalized support for those expecting multiples or who have just welcomed their newborn multiples.

Other programs offered to our new and expectant parents:

We provide support to our new mothers including a Post Partum Depression Support Group, Breastfeeding Support, and free loaner program for double nursing pillows.  We provide helpful information to our expectant mothers such as an equipment list of the needs for the first few months, milestones for the first year, and information on cloth diaper services, night nannies, and breastfeeding support services.  We also offer events just for our new and expectant moms.  These include: 

  • Bi-annual New Member Welcome Brunch- new members get to meet each other and chat with veteran CMOMs
  • Prego Buddy Program- this program pairs up expectant moms with other moms who are due around the same time they are and who may have other similarities (such as expecting identical twins or those who already have an older child or children)
  • The Prego Buddy Events- these are open to all new and expectant moms regardless if they participate in the Prego Buddy Program.  These quarterly events are a great way for expectant members to meet each other and we sometimes have speakers at these events.  For example, we recently had a NICU nurse from one of the local hospitals come and speak on what to expect if your babies go to the NICU.
  • Baby Boot Camp- this once a year event offers a wealth of information for our new and expectant members.  
  • Breastfeeding Multiples Class- a quarterly class taught by a licensed lactation consultant for mothers interested in breastfeeding their multiples
  • New and Expectant Mom Shopping at The Sale- new and expectant moms get to shop before the rest of the club!  Those who are expecting or have babies under 3 months of age can shop for select items an hour before the rest of the club. These members are provided with a list of items that are eligible for purchase during this dedicated hour.   We can also provide wheelchairs for our members on bed rest so they can join in the shopping fun!
