Best book on twin birth!

I am delighted to see a new edition of "Having Twins and More," by Elizabeth Noble. Elizabeth's other books, "Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year," and "Childbirth With Insight" were required reading when I taught childbirth classes. "Having Twins" is the only book I can recommend to mothers expecting multiples. Other books gloss over the importance of nutrition and assume you will accept a high-risk pregnancy label and automatic cesarean without protest.

Some of the other reviewers of this book complained that it frightened them and that the dietary information was not to their liking. I looked through the book carefully, but I could not find the source of their concern. On a hunch, I looked at the reviews for "What to Expect When You Are Expecting," a book that I have always considered to be bland and overly deferential to obstetricians. Sure enough, many reviewers complained that this book frightened them and had impossible nutritional expectations. I had to laugh when I read that some folks actually thought that "What to Expect" undermined their doctor's authority!

I guess there is a subset of moms who don't want to hear that what they eat every day is more important than anything their doctor can do to insure a healthy pregnancy and a safe birth. Nor do they want to know that there are controversies in obstetrics, the least scientific medical specialty. Like it or not, there are important choices that every mother must make about birth. Leaving everything up to a doctor is still a choice, but the doctor is not the one who will have to live with the consequences.

"Having Twins and More" is the best book available for expectant parents of multiples, and the health professionals who work with them.
