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.

I bought this book when I was expecting my identical twins 2 years ago. I found it really hard to get any accurate information on mode and timing of delivery and was struggling to make a decision about whether to have a section or a natural delivery. This book is fantastic, it is a large and detailed text but is still easy to read and understand. It gave me the faith I needed to have a vaginal delivery and I recommend it to other people in the same position. I definitely found the pregnancy information more useful than the post-birth chapters though, but if you have prem babies or multiples with special needs you might find it more useful than I did. If you want to see you multiple pregnancy and birth as normal, and be fully informed, then buy this book. But be warned, this is a balanced book, there is all the information about possible risks and complications alongside the positivity.

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.
