Just Okay |
| I expected more from this book. I didn't really learn anything new from it. Most of us know that a twin pregnancy is higher risk than a singleton pregnancy. I wish it had gone over specifically how much weight you should gain in the first trimester, what to do for back-pain that inevitably will come later on, some advice for preparing for childbirth, etc. |

Balanced Book |
| As another review says, this book if full of "what could go wrong", but in no way did it scare me, because it was always followed up by what to do to lower your chances of those complications happening to you. You need to be aware of how a Twin or other multiple pregnancy is different from a single pregnancy in order to be sure of how to take care of yourself. This book will give you that information. I felt it was neither too liberal in its approach or two conservative (Barbara Luke's similar book is much more conservative in its approach to twin pregnancies). |

Excellent for those expecting multiples |
| This book offers a concise description of what it is like to be pregnant with multiples. It gives you an overview of major issues dealt with in twin and higher order pregnancies and then provides details on each trimester and labor/delivery. The "What you may notice" section for each trimester lets you know what are normal symptoms of multiple pregnancy while alerting you to dangers. The author, a doctor and mother of twins, presents a balanced view letting you know that you can do this while pointing out dangers. She does an amazing job of informing you but does not terrify you. This has been my main resource during this pregnancy. |
