Nothing can prepare you for twins, or can it? Motherhood Center is pleased to bring you the perfect ‘expecting twins’ classes. Taught by our Life After the NICU instructor, Crystal Duffy, this class is perfect for new families who just found out they are expecting two or more, families who already have a child and are NOW expecting twins and want to know what the differences will be, and families who have had their twins and need help with figuring out the fine-tuning of parenting newborns (sleep schedules, feeding issues, interacting with the twins). Houston expecting twins classes will prepare you for everything you need to know BEFORE the twins arrive (including what you need to buy!) and AFTER the twins arrive through their first 6 months of life. It’s the perfect way to get ready to bring home your dynamic duo!
