New Forum Suggestion: "Pregnancy: Multiples"

[pookie1121]

I would like to request that MedHelp please start a new forum for those pregnant with multiples.

As a mother now pregnant with twins, many questions that I have this time around are different from those that I had during my single pregnancy.

I think that many other women/couples pregnant with twins (or more!) would also benefit from a forum where we can exchange information and ask questions directly related to multiples pregnancies....and our specific questions wouldnt get lost in the sea of threads in the other Pregnancy Forums, where 99% are all pregnant with single babies.

Would MedHelp please support this request and add a forum for "Pregnancy: Multiples" in addition to the other "Pregnancy: ____" Forums on the sit?

Hi,

Yes, I too agree with the posts. I had a hard time finding information on the web for parents expecting or parenting multiples and the pregnancy forums currently on MedHelp do not always address the concerns, issues, etc. that us moms of mulitples have during and after our pregnancies. I have had to resort to other websites and unfortunately to other expecting mothers of multiples, due to your terms and conditions, those websites cannot be posted in the forums, only personal messages.

35MomOfBoys - Thanks for the call out! I am always happy to help : )

Yes I totally agree that a multiples forum would be extremely valuable!  I have had questions about the twins I'm carrying and I basically have to hunt through all the forums to find someone with twins who can relate to me or answer my questions from past experience.  Tbeards (just had her twins last week) has been soooooooooo helpful to me.  

Please, MedHelp, answer this request.  I am on this site every day.  I definitely think a multiples forum would be beneficial!

Others have also suggested this in the past, but I dont see a response from Medhelp yet:

Or maybe even better would be: "Pregnancy & Parenting: Multiples"  something like that so that others who have multiples already born can also exchange ideas, thoughts, questions and comments to the very specific topic of parenting multiples. :)
