Hamilton, NJ- April 12, 2010 - Did you know that multiple birth rates have doubled since the 1980s?  More families are faced with issues and challenges that only pertain to raising two, three or more children at the same time.  During the month of April, Central Jersey Mothers of Multiples, Inc.

Visitors will learn more about the issues that these families face including what to know when expecting multiples; Twin-to-Twin-Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) and other fetal issues directly affecting multiple birth pregnancies; premature births and low birth weights; twins with special needs; the exceptional physical and bonding demands placed on parents and the separation of twins in classrooms.
