Product Description

Product Description

This useful guide to multiple pregnancy, birth and beyond, comes from an expert on the subject - Emma Mahony is a twin herself as well as being the mother of twins. Black and white cartoons from the Times' front-page cartoonist make this a lighthearted guide for expectant mothers of twins. Twins are amazing - but multiple pregnancy and birth, not to mention coping with twins once they are born, carries a set of special fears, risks and issues. Many parents-to-be find themselves overwhelmed. This guide is informative yet informal. It contains advice from pregnancy and childcare experts as well as case studies. It provides an exploration of practical issues such as eating for three, managing breastfeeding, and the trend towards Caesareans for NHS twin births. It looks at the unnecessary label of "high risk" in pregnancy and gives testimonies from mums who have tried different approaches. It contains interviews with medical and midwife experts and a step-by-step guide to the different stages of pregnancy and birth, including how to involve the father and explain twins to other siblings. In addition it gives tips on managing once the twins have arrived and looking after toddler twins, twins at school and teenage twins.


About the Author

Emma Mahony is a successful journalist who currently works as feature writer for the Times. She is a twin herself, as well as being the parent of twins, and her monthly column in the Saturday Weekend section of the Times, 'Double Trouble', takes a humorous yet serious look at the business of bringing up twins. Jonathan Pugh has been the front page cartoonist for the Times since 1996 and was voted Cartoonist of the Year at the 2001 Press Gazette Awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best twin pregnancy guide., 21 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I found this book to be so valuable as a british woman expecting twins. Many of the books on twins are written by and for American women. This book covers things like NHS and twin birth, making a twin birth plan, not being affraid to make your choices for the birth. Also preparing for twins and the first year are also included. The other nice thing about this book is that the author has had twins recently, and so all her advice is so relevant now - everything from which 3-wheeler puch chair is most popular with twins club members to where to get the rolls royce of double breast pumps from!! well worth reading!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much information on toddler twins, 19 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Review synopsis suggests the book covers from birth and beyond, and expressively mentions toddlers and even teenagers. However looking at contents after it arrived, it is almost entirely dedicated to twins up to 1 year old. It may be very good at offering help & advice for this age, but not much help if you are contending with two little toddling tykes who have just turned two (or indeed older).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on Twins, 3 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Having just discovered that I'm about to have twins I was desperate to find out more information, I have now brought lots of books of about twins and have to say that this is the best book to buy. As well as being very practical it also explains everything in a very humorous way. I would recommend this book to any one who is having more than one baby
