About us

Are you expecting twins or more?

Are you a parent of twins or multiple birth children?

Then this is for you…

WHAT IS TWINS PLUS?

Twins Plus is a non-profit, all-volunteer group formed to provide its members support, guidance and sharing of information pertinent to bearing and raising multiple birth children in Singapore. We are a mix of foreigners and local Singaporeans and welcome anyone who is interested in joining the group.

We meet regularly at our babies and toddlers playgroups and arrange other events throughout the year such as talks on specific topics. The highlight of the year is our annual garage sale which is a fabulous opportunity to de-clutter the cupboards, pick up some bargains for that next age and stage, and make some pocket money! Additionally, social activities are held throughout the year with members‘ children and spouses. An informative resource library is also available for members’ use. You can also find us on facebook or sign up for our monthly newsletter.

If you are expecting twins or have twins (or any higher number!) and would like to meet with similar others and want to share experiences, join us today.

TWINS PLUS STATISTICS:

• We represent over 220 families, and growing fast.
• Today we have 190 families of twins and 25 families of higher multiples. That means over 458 kids ranging from 0 to 14 years, or over 545 children if you include the siblings.
• 38 of our families have siblings, and although only 9 chose to have other kids after their multiples, 8 of our families of higher multiples already had children before the arrival of their kids. No doubt they have an idea or two about time management!

Twins Plus Statistics Table 1:
46 % of our members live in District 5, 21, 15 and 10.

Twins Plus Statistics Table 2:
64 % of the multiples in our group are between the age of 4 and 0.

Twins Plus Statistics Table 3:
The table speaks for itself – only 9 families had another child after they had multiples.

TWINS PLUS HISTORY:

Twins Plus Singapore began in 1995 with a handful of mothers with multiples.

We realise that over the years our parents have grown more committed (as you would have seen at our garage sales), not basically “buying a service”, but here to help each other, creating a sense of belonging which is so important, and makes us very proud of what we are.

Thanks and let’s keep it going!
