Having twins

Expecting twins or more calls for extra preparation, and this guide to multiple pregnancy has been thoroughly updated to reflect a decade of new research. Its author draws on years of work helping expectant and new parents through every stage of carrying and raising twins.

As more women carry twins than ever before, the author argues that every multiple pregnancy needs special care, so parents should gather as much information as they can to give their babies the best chance. The revised edition adds new chapters on the emotional side of pregnancy, the prevention and treatment of premature birth, the bond that forms between twins, and coping with loss.

The book also covers current prenatal care practices, with particular attention to nutrition and getting the body ready for pregnancy.
