Comprehensive, covering all aspects of twins

I was startled by those who rated this book so poorly simply because it covered the negative aspects of carrying twins. For those of you who had a rosy experience carrying your twins, BRAVO! However, in many instances, there are terrible things that can occur, and do. That is why a multiple gestation is considered such high risk. If you are not interested in reading the negative aspects, skip those parts. I lost my twins at 36 weeks and searched for any and all information I could find. I was thankful to have a resource so complete. This book could leave out all of that information, but how helpful would that be? The author would be negligent in not reporting all the facts, regardless of whether or not it's what I want to hear. It offers a comprehensive, useful tool for those facing a twin pregnancy.

Realistic, comprehensive book

This is an excellent book which covers all aspects of twin pregnancy and birth. Ms. Noble provides clear, much needed information on the joys and risks of multiple birth pregnancy. During my twin pregnancy this book helped me to be aware of the potential difficulties I could face and helped me to seek out good medical care when there were difficulties. Ms. Noble presents the information on the loss of a multiple in a compassionate manner. When one of my babies died, this book was the only resource I had which helped me to contact organizations which were a lifeline for me after the loss. THANK YOU!!!

When all doesn't go well!

I bought this book when I found out I was having twins in 1997. The chapter on Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome scared me to death and I skipped over the information on loss and planning after the loss. I SHOULDN'T HAVE! We lost our twins to TTTS on 7-4-97 and I then went back to the chapters I had skipped and found very useful information that I wished I had taken the time to read before our loss. Not all parents have successful twin or higher pregnancies and the media tends to 'glamorize' the successful ones while the rest of us are left to wonder if we made the right decisions or not. More needs to be available to the parents who are struggling daily to save their babies. Not all multiple pregnancies end with two or more healthy beautiful babies to bring home. But these babies do matter and do affect many, many lives and are NEVER forgotten by the families that lose them.
