EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT TWINS...
When I was having twins, this book was my bible. I loved it! I found it to be very informative. While I had a wonderful obstetrician in attendance, it was nice to have something to fill in the blanks when he was not available. Being inquisitive by nature, this book fit the bill. I read it from cover to cover. I found it to have a common sense approach to the process of having twins.
I tended to follow its advice and found it very reassuring. Its dietary recommendations were sound. I followed them, as they were not inconsistent with my doctor's own. I felt good throughout my pregnancy and was very happy to be having twins. When they were born, my son weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 oz., and my daughter weighed in at 6 lbs. 6 oz.
The book really gives one all the information about having twins that one could ever want: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is a reality based book. Were my daughter having twins, I would give her a copy of this book.
Having Twins - and More
At first this book is good, lots of interesting information on multiple births and families.
However, about halfway through it turns very preachy (you must breastfeed, you must have a home birth, you must refuse a c-section, you must not listen to your Dr but follow your heart) which I found very irritating and upsetting so I threw it away.
A shame as it looked so promising.
