Expecting Twins, Triplets, and More: A Doctor's Guide to a Healthy and Happy Multiple Pregnancy

by Rachel Franklin

Wonderful Book to Read!!!

How do I even start...I found this book to be informative, but also to be the laughter that I've needed for months. The author uses a lot of humor and reality based writing for her readers. I think having had a child previously I was able to relate to her sense humor while pregnant and through delivery. Even if you do not find this book to be informative enough for you, I can promise it will be the laughter that you have needed for many months. I tried reading on my breaks at work and would laugh so hard that I had to stop. I would then try to explain to someone why I am laughing and would laugh so hard while trying to explain that tears would just role down my cheek. Thank you Dr. Rachel Franklin for the real life reading.

A MUST HAVE for this amazing news

Expecting for the first time and learning it was going to be twins, I was very anxious about what to expect and how a twin pregnancy would be different from a "normal" pregnancy. This book covers with humor and medical knowledge the reality of twins and what to do to prepare both mentally and physically. Many books are out there, but this quick read is a reference you will pick up again and again.

THANK YOU!!!

Finally -- a book about multiples pregnancy that doesn't make you wish you'd joined a convent! I bought this book the day my husband and I discovered that we were expecting twins; thus far, it's the only resource I've found that presents the joys and potential problems of multiples pregnancy with a positive outlook and an even-handed approach. Medical information is plentiful (as you would expect), but this book is anything but clinical in it's presentation. Think of it as the "girlfriend's guide" to multiples pregnancy. Overall, it's an excellent resource for anyone expecting more than one, and a godsend for couples like my husband and me, who will be first-time parents.
