5.0 out of 5 stars Even a parent of one would love this book, December 26, 2000
By A Customer
This book talked to you like a friend -- who just happens to be an MD and a mother herself. She answers all your questions in a comfortable, easy to read way. Even if you are not having a twin, but are becoming a parent for the first, second, or third time this is a book to turn to.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A WONDERFUL RESOURCE THIS BOOK IS!, December 1, 2000
By A Customer
This book is phenomenal! The author is an ob/gyn and a mother of twins herself! There's not a single question a woman pregnant with twins could have that isn't answered by this great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Okay, July 19, 2005
I expected more from this book. I didn't really learn anything new from it. Most of us know that a twin pregnancy is higher risk than a singleton pregnancy. I wish it had gone over specifically how much weight you should gain in the first trimester, what to do for back-pain that inevitably will come later on, some advice for preparing for childbirth, etc.
