Parenting School-Age Twins and Multiples6 reviews
Christina Baglivi Tinglof
McGraw-Hill, 2006
A great look at older twins and multiples.
This book is just what I've been looking for. Most books on raising multiples start with pregnancy and end at pre-school. As my twins approach puberty, this book gives insight on what's ahead and how to get there with a little sanity. Parents of higher order multiples and siblings of multiples can find some help here as well. It is a quick read and clearly well researched. I liked the ...

Mommy Has To Stay In Bed6 reviews
Annette Rivlin-Gutman
BookSurge Publishing, 2006
Great book to help Young Children Adjust to a Horizontal Mommy
I found this to be a wonderful book for toddlers faced with the trauma of having a parent on bed rest (whether it's due to pregnancy, an illness or accident). I ordered it on Amazon when I was up all night with insomnia from worry about my 2-year old daughter's difficult time dealing with my long-term (26 week) complete pregnancy bed rest. The day we received it, she asked me to read it to her ...

Or as they say in the Army ads, become all that he can be. In these days of hyper-parenting where we race around from activity to lesson and then back to activity, never knowing if we are doing our kid good or stressing him out, getting tangled ...

Twins to Quints: The Complete Manual for Parents of Multiple Birth Children3 reviews
Rebecca Moskwinski
Harpeth House Publishing, 2002
Good Thorough Reference for the Multiple Mom
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, ...

Khanh-Van Le-Bucklin

Heart-warming and informative!
Moms of twins will feel this book is a heart-warming letter or conversation from a sister or best friend sharing her personal experience with her own twins. Real-life anecdotes create a connection between you and the author, forming a "sisterhood" of moms of multiples where shared experiences are both informative and entertaining. I found myself chuckling at some of the stories and nodding in ...

If You Are Expecting Twins (or More), Get This Book!
My husband and I are expecting twins. We have read about five different books regarding pregnancy, birth and raising multiples, but this was the best book by far. It includes an incredible amount of practical information, including a great set of check lists that will help you prepare for birth. This is the book that I recommend to every couple that I know who are expecting more than one ...

Donna M. Jackson
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001
Wonderful book to share with your twins
This book is perfect for sharing with your twins when they are children to help them understand their special gift, or if you have other children who will soon have twin brothers or sisters. I think it would also be enjoyable and informative if you are a grandparent, teacher or other who interacts with twins. It gives a delightful, easy-to-read overview of twins and answers all the questions one ...

Pathology of Multiple Pregnancy1 review
Virginia J. Baldwin
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K, 1993
An important book seven years later
The real test of a specialty monograph is how fares over time. It is seven years since this seminal work was published. I am compelled to say, as a continuously active professional in the field, Baldwin's "Pathology of multiple pregnancy" is more valuable in year 2000 than it was when it first came out. The reason is simple: the author fairly anticipated both the basic science and the ...

Multifetal Pregnancy: A Handbook for Care of the Pregnant Patient (LWW Handbook Series)1 review
Roger B Newman, Barbara Luke
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000
Multi Fetal pregnancy
This book should be considered the "bible" of multi-fetal pregnancy issues. It is excellent. All issues related to multiples are discussed. I particularly focused on the nutrition component, but found the rest of the book to be helpful as well. Definitely aimed at professionals, as opposed to the pregnant woman or couple.

When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, Revised Edition175 reviews
HarperCollins e-books, 2007
Maximizes pregnancy outcome!
This book was one of the keys to my healthy twin pregnancy. True, it's hard to follow the nutritional advice to the letter, but you just do the best you can. I promise that if you're not a big fan of meat, you will get used to it when you know that you're helping your babies grow. The book also contains nutritional advice for vegetarians. I started out at a BMI of 18 and carried my twins to 38 ...

McGraw-Hill, 2001
A MUST READ!
I discovered this book about halfway through my pregnancy and was so disappointed not to have found it sooner! It is by far the best twin pregnancy book I have read. A twin pregnancy is such a unique experience and after reading a general pregnancy book or two, you find yourself with lots of questions left unanswered. I kept asking myself, "But how will this be different for me?" Nancy Bowers ...

Run to You:: A Guide Through Miscarriage1 review
Sarah Siu
Tate Publishing & Enterprises, 2008
Outstanding and rare perspective!
It's difficult to express the significance of the unseen. It's hard to talk about a person no one has ever met, yet thousands of men and women are faced with this daunting task every year due to the loss of their child before it leaves the mother's womb. In most cases they ride the roller coaster of emotional truth alone without resources. I read Run to Me and was amazed at the insight, ...

Mothering Multiples: Breastfeeding & Caring for Twins or More22 reviews
Karen Kerkhoff Gromada
La Leche League International, 1999
Wonderful resource
Although I already have two children, this book has already been helpful in preparing for the arrival of our twins. People keep telling me how difficult or even impossible it is to nurse multiples and this is giving me the confidence to stick to it.
