Support from AMBA

Who can I talk to?

The first thing to do is contact your state/territory HOM Coordinator:

Your co-ordinator will offer reassurance and encouragement and will send you a copy of the HOM Expectant Parents Package which includes the following information:

• Introduction & brief overview of trends in HOM births throughout Australia
• Contact details for both club and State HOM coordinators
• List of services AMBA provides for HOM families
• Higher Order Multiple Register Form (registration allows AMBA to apply on your behalf for donations of babygoods from our sponsor companies)
• Information re Home Help (varies within each State), Centrelink payments (Multiple Birth Allowance) and other State Govt. funding or assistance (varies within each State)
• Signs of Pre-term Labour
• Zygosity Testing
• Pram information
• Personal stories on a range of topics, e.g. Vaginal & Caesarean delivery, Breastfeeding & Bottle feeding HOMs, Coming home: one at a time or all together, Older siblings, Bereavement and Special Needs
• Suggested reading list
• Suggested web sites
• Copy of booklet "Parenting Triplets"
• Copy of booklet "Breastfeeding Higher Order Multiples"
• Complimentary copy of National HOM magazine

The state/territory co-ordinator will also put you in touch with your local club HOM Co-ordinator, who will provide ongoing encouragement and support during and after your pregnancy.
