- The following is content from the press release -
Commemorative event will be held on 8/15 from 9:30 p.m!
The NPO Tsunagaru (Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, President: Michiko Nakahara) has launched the web media "Multiple Births Channel" (Japanese only), which focuses exclusively on multiple births. https://tatai-ch.jp/ (hereinafter referred to as "the site"). The concept of the site is to provide information on daily basis, such as voices of senior mothers and fathers and tips for daily life, to families with multiples, such as twins and triplets, who tend to be isolated and unable to go outside.
Background of the birth of the "Multiple Birth Channel
It is estimated that 1 in 100 families have multiples such as twins and triplets. The "multiples"-specific concerns begin even before they are born. There is no one around them who is pregnant with or raising twins, and they may not be able to imagine what it would be like to raise two, or in some cases three, children at the same time, or they may not be able to discuss it with others. Even after the birth, they may not know what to do with the heavy burden of raising two children at the same time.
In areas with many child-rearing households, there are several multiple birth circles where multiple birth families gather, and there is a high likelihood that multiple birth families will get to know each other. However, in areas where there are few households raising children, there are few opportunities to get to know other multiple birth families, and there are many multiple birth families who are troubled by the unique problems of raising multiples and the inability to share information.
We created the "Multiple Births Channel" to provide information on multiple births and to help moms and dads who have experienced multiple births to gather information on multiple births and child-rearing. We have created a "multiple birth channel" that focuses exclusively on multiple births.
Features of Multiple Channels
1. distribute information such as voices of senior moms and dads and tips for daily life.
We distribute articles and information about the experience of raising multiples and tips for living with multiples by people who are involved in the NPO Tsunagaru.
In "5 Things I Learned After Giving Birth (Part I)," we spoke with a mother of two girls born in April 2017. She gave birth for the first time, in her mid-30s, and at 36 weeks gestation. There were many things that made her think, "This is not what I heard!" After giving birth, she said there were many things that made her think, "I never heard of this! Here is an article about how she felt.
2. "Nationwide Multiple Birth Support Information" to find connections throughout the country.

It is said that one out of every 100 families has multiples, such as twins and triplets. It is said that the problems specific to multiples begin even before they are born. They do not know anyone around them who is pregnant with or raising twins, and they cannot imagine what it would be like to raise two, or in some cases three, children at the same time, and they cannot ask for advice. Even after the birth of the child, they may not know what to do with the heavy burden of raising two or three children at the same time. We have started a web media that collects only information specialized in multiple births for such families.
Let's take a look at the details from the press release.
