Southern Sydney Multiple Birth Association - SSMBA

💜 Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

Today we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience and love of the amazing mums of multiples in our community. Raising twins, triplets (or more!) is no small feat — it takes patience, teamwork, late nights, double cuddles and a whole lot of heart.

To all the wonderful mums in our Southern Sydney Multiple Birth Association family, we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you today and every day.

Thank you for the love, support and friendship you bring to our community. Together we are stronger. 💕

✨ Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women raising multiples! ✨

Just thought I would share this with everyone

🌎💜 World Prematurity Day | Honouring Our Tiny Fighters 💜🌎

Today, we stand with families in our community and around the world who have welcomed their multiples earlier than expected. Whether your little ones arrived a few weeks early or made a sudden, life-changing entrance into the world far too soon, we see your strength, your courage, and your endless love.

Parents of twins, triplets, and higher-order multiples know a unique journey — one filled with NICU visits, tiny milestones, tangled cords, and enormous hope. Our babies, though small in size, are mighty in spirit. 💪👶👶

To all the parents who have held their breath beside an incubator, whispered encouragement through plastic walls, learned medical words you never thought you’d need, or cherished each gram gained — today is for you.

To our incredible NICU nurses, doctors, and specialists, thank you for helping our little miracles grow.

And to our preemie multiples, whether you are still fighting, growing strong at home, or watching over your families from above — you are forever our heroes. 💜🦋

As a community, let’s raise awareness, share our stories, and wrap these families in support. If you feel comfortable, we invite you to share a photo of your preemie miracles — from their smallest days to the amazing people they are becoming.

We had such a successful day at our fundraiser BBQ at Bunnings today! 🌭🎉

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to support our club, and to the businesses that kindly backed us.

A special shout-out to Fettayleh Foods for generously donating the most delicious sausages – they were selling like hotcakes! 👏

And of course, this day wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing volunteers who gave up their Saturday to make it all happen. We’re so grateful for your time, energy, and dedication. 💛
