Meetings
Prospective Members are invited to check out the club by attending up to two Member Meetings prior to joining EMOMs.
Members Meetings
EMOMs Members Meetings are held monthly on the second Monday of the month and are open to all EMOMs members and prospective members. Most months of the year, we will have Expecting/First Year, Toddler/Preschool, and School-age focus group. Three times a year we will have a combined meeting with a "big ticket" speaker of interest across the age groups (likely with a small round-table discussion for the Expecting/First Year if preferred over the main speaker).
The first 30 minutes of the meeting is for social time and club business before breaking out into focus groups:

The first 30 minutes of the meeting is for social time and club business before breaking out into focus groups:
- Expecting/First Year group has topics that include breast feeding, postpartum depression, sleep issues, baby sign language, caring for your newborns, and favorite equipment.
- Toddler/Preschool group includes discussion topics or speakers addressing potty training, nutrition, preschool, activities with your children, and other relevant issues.
- The School-Age group is new, so more information on topics will be forthcoming.
First Year Group
If your multiples are under one year old, or if you are still awaiting their arrival, we'd love to see you at First-Year EMOMs! First-Year EMOMs is a great way to meet other parents, share ideas, ask questions, and find support during pregnancy and in your first year as parents of multiples. Spouses/partners are encouraged to attend, and babies and prospective members are always welcome.*If you have questions about First-Year EMOMs, please send email to firstyear@emoms.org.
What to Expect
Meetings officially begin at 6:30p, but please come even if you will be late - we know how tricky it can be to make it out of the house, with or without your little ones.
We usually start with announcements and introductions, then move to our planned program for the evening at 7:00p. Some months our meeting features a guest speaker while other months we have a specific discussion topic (such as breastfeeding/bottle-feeding, sleep, or starting solids). The floor is always open, however, to talk about whatever your current challenges or concerns may be.
Depending on how long our meeting program runs, there is generally time for open questions / discussion at the end of the meeting. Please feel free to use this time to connect with other parents and expectant parents - the First-Year EMOMs group can be a great place to make friends you'll stay close with as your multiples grow into toddlerhood and preschool and beyond.
If you are already a member and have a question for one of the coordinators, you may contact them by emailing firstyear@emoms.org
