I just read this book and my twins are 8 months old, but I wish I knew about it when I was pregnant. This book covers everything from feelings you may experience when you first find out your expecting twins to how close adult twins are to each other. It draws much of its information from surveys filled out by members of twins and multiples clubs throughout the nation so the info is first-hand, down-in-the-trenches info! Throughout the book there are interesting and helpful stories from moms of multiples. This is good, useful info. Also, the book has lots of interesting statistics about twins such as the fact that the Yoruba tribe in Africa has a twinning rate of 1 in 22 births! Wow!

(...) this book covers EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY! It will take you from pregnancy through the college years and beyond, and has information for the stay-at-home parent as well as the working parent, for those dealing with special needs to those coping with multiple loss. The information/advice is sensible because it is based upon the experiences of mothers of multiple birth children who belong to the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs. This group definitely knows what parenting twins, triplets, quads and more is all about! The highlighted quotes included in the book show that this is a book written about real-life situations, with real-life solutions.

This book is a wonderful resource for parents of twins. I would recommend this to anyone having a multiples. It is very complete and has something for all ages.
