Balancing Twins Community with Amy Griffith
Balancing Twins is here to offer you support and suggestions, but it’s also here to remind you to surrender. Acceptance and surrender are two elements that I connected with often during my twin pregnancy, birth and beyond. Trust that you have all the strength you need and you and your babies are a perfect team.
Twin mom life will not always feel balanced, but we always have an opportunity to bring ourselves back to our center, to breathe deeply and trust our intuition. I’m grateful to be on this journey with you. Let’s do this together!
My name is Amy and I’m a mom of four, including identical twin boys. I’ve been through my own highs and lows during this twin-mom experience and sympathize with you.
Having twins is both exciting and overwhelming. It’s completely amazing and unimaginably tiring. It’s full of so much love, worry, hope, uncertainty and mess. And is the key word here. You can feel it all and still be incredibly grateful.
Twin pregnancy, birth and postpartum is a unique experience that requires support. This time in your life calls for a strong community and space to feel seen, heard and understood.
Mama, you’re in the right place.
