This 2 part video was so informative and educational. I didn't receive this same information from my local hospital or even my doctor. My twins were born extremely healthy and I owe it all to the Expecting Multiples videos. They were literally a life saver!

The nurse instructor, a mother of twins now pregnant with her second of twins, shares both personal and professional knowledge and experiences with multiple pregnancy. In tape one she emphasizes the importance of nutrition in multiple pregnancy, especially calorie and protein needs. Expectant mothers should check with their health care providers for current recomendations on fish and seafood consumption. Tape 2 includes explanation of preparation for a multiple birth in the hospital. The parents in my classes find the videography of the hospital procedures and hospital set-up very helpful. Viewing the births and babies is amazing. Additional resources for expectant and new parents are included.

This is the best video I've ever seen on expecting multiples. Its very comprehensive and shows in great detail how to nourish my babies well while still inside of me. It also prepared me for what lies ahead, what to watch for and how to cope after I have them. It's fantastic!!

It's very informative, and seems to get the point across - however, I personally could have done without the lecture footage. I do understand that this person IS giving a lecture about her experience of having twins, and about her medical knowledge on the subject on multiple births - however, I would have liked there to be more material in the way of visual aid. This might be more helpful to a frightened woman just learning that she's going to have twins, triplets, or other set of multiples - rather than just a discussion about various material.

The footage actually included with the video (of the ultrasound, and of the normal and ceserian births of multiples) almost seems thrown in as an almost-afterthought. However, it IS material - and it is informative, but not quite the ticket for those of us without a medical mind, or a creative imagination.
