Summary: The best advice for a healthy full-term twin pregnancy!
Review: My midwife advised us to get this book as soon as we found out we were expecting twins. I am a Lactation Consultant and already had it as a reference for clients.
I found the information to be extremly truthful and very informative. I too followed their advice on nutrition as also advised by my midwife. It was difficult to consume so many calories and protein but I did it for the health of my babies and myself.
While reading this book I found out why I was experiencing all these different things with my body that I never experienced with my other 4 births and pregnancies. I also was very prepared and informed of all the things to expect with multiples.
Between my midwife and this book I felt totally confident and positive about my pregnancy and birth. Without it I would have been in the dark and frightened!
I ended up delivering vaginally and totally natural at 39 weeks and 4 days. My b/g twins weighed 7lbs 14oz and 7lbs 15 oz. I never had any problems the whole pregnacy (absolutely NO BEDREST) and my babies stayed with me the whole time and went home with me. If I did not have such great resources the outcome may have not turned out so great!

Summary: This book should be marketed as a book for birth control!
Review: Never was I so worried and scared in my life than when I read this book. I hope and pray that I will never have to use most of the information, because it only deals with the problems, not the pleasures. And I cannot believe the book emphasizes using a midwife for multiples!! I'm happy with my experienced and knowledgeable physician!!

Summary: "Freightening" and "Far Out"
Review: Noble's book is best summarized as "frightening" and "far out." Her thoughts on twinship experiences in utero sound like something out of the X-Files; her warnings against the evils of consuming dairy products and foods containing preservatives are pure paranoia; and the gorey details of multiple pregnancy hazards are nothing short of terrifying. In fact, the positive aspects of having twins are completely ignored. The only redeeming quality of this book would be the last 3-4 chapters dealing with prematurity and dealing with loss. However, this same content can be found in many other less frightening and definitely more positive books, such as "Twins!" by Agnew, Klein and Ganon.

Summary: My bible for my twin (full-term) pregnancy
Review: The best book available for keeping a positive attitude about having and delivering full-term healthy babies. I credit the excellent health of my twin girl (8 pounds 3 ounces) and twin boy (8 pounds 13 ounces) to the information in this book. The "In Utero" chapter was not my style; it was a bit "out there". Overall, this book was what helped me feel that I could achieve my goal - to have two beautiful, healthy babies (and no C-section!).

Summary: What to expect when you're expecting...MORE THAN ONE!!
Review: The first thing to buy after the doctor says..."I think I can hear another heartbeat!" Twin pregnancies ARE different, and as a recent twin Mom, I relied on it from beginning to end of my pregnancy...right to 38 weeks, with over 14 pounds of combined birthweights. It's a great book.

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: There are plenty of other great books on parenting twins & other multiples out there -- do yourself a favor & don't buy this one! First of all, it is very technical & difficult/unpleasant to read. Second, it has pictures of women after childbirth with like several feet of hanging extra skin -- not something I needed to see when I was emotional and pregnant with two. It also had the most negative, scary tone. It seemed to tell you all of the things that could go WRONG and very little of what could go right. Let me tell you, from a woman who has been there -- it can go beautifully & without incident -- & not everyone ends up with miles of extra skin on their stomachs. If you buy this book while pregnant, it will only serve to scare the wits out of you. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for good information!

Summary: Scared me to death!
Review: This book had me convinced that amy twins would have some type of birth defect, or that something would go wrong with my pregnancy, labor, or delivery. I read this when I was on bedrest, and finally had to remove it from my room because it scared me too much. The author seemed only to concentrate on what could go wrong with a twin pregnancy. I would recommend the only other twin book I read - "Keys to Parenting Twins." It's much more positive! By the way, my twins were born completely healthy & normal at 36 weeks.
