The best book for Twin moms & moms of multiples!

During the past month, I've lost 4 pounds already. It alarmed me because I never want to lose weight during my twin pregnancy. I've been reading a lot about twin pregnancy and found out that morning sickness (times 2 for twin pregnancy) could be a great factor why I'm losing weight.

The book!
Finally, my book I ordered from Amazon.com - When you're excpecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads by Dr. Barbara Luke and Tamara Eberlein arrived 3 weeks ago. I've been devouring every bit of it. It was a very, very, very good book for moms expecting multiples. It teaches so much about what to eat, a lot of tips and even delivery and raising twins.

It's not the usual pregnancy book or not even a usual twin pregnancy book about the basics. When I bought another book Twins: Pregnancy, Birth and the first year of life, I just read it for 2 days because a lot of the facts there are readily available on the web or even singleton pregnancy books. Maybe, because during my 1st pregnancy (this is the 2nd), I've read so many books already about pregnancy and there's not much of a difference as to what I really need to expect, nutrition, delivery of twins in a more detailed manner. The book by Dr. Luke is the best book, which you can't find on any website. Not even my own OB can advice as good as how she explained twin pregnancy.

It is a must have, now after 3 weeks following Dr. Luke's advice on nutrition, regularity of meals, and knowing your body well, I've finally gained back my lost weight (eating 6 meals a day or every 2 hours at least), decreased my worsening morning sickness (by not making myself hungry) and even her positive approach of twin pregnancy complications that moms of multiples worry about too much. Now, I'm more focused on my babies and making sure they will have an optimum weight when I deliver them.

I give it 5/5 stars! A must-have for twin moms to be.
