Having Twins: A Parent's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Early Childhood
The well-received first edition ( LJ 11/15/80) served as a core book on the topic for many years. Now, Noble has revised and expanded this indispensable tool on the history and physiology of twinning. New material on prenatal care, birthing, bonding, and emotional coping provides updated information. The excellent section on nutrition has been enhanced to include modern, alternative choices, and the section on exercise remains unchanged and one of the best for multiple-birth mothers. Both physical and emotional needs are equally considered by Noble, as her realistic treatment of possible complications is balanced by her sensitive, and at times personal, insights. The bibliography, source list, and appendixes complement this highly recommended book.- Mary Hemmings, Univ. of Calgary Law Lib., AlbertaCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
