When You¹re Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads is an outstanding, much-needed addition to the pregnancy genre for women who face the alternating joy, terror, and ambivalence associated with carrying, delivering, and coping with young multiples. Subjects like nutrition, mom's changing body and emotions, fetal development, potential complications, and labor and delivery take on new meaning when you add another baby or two to the standard equation. With the goal of minimizing risk factors associated with multiple births, Dr. Barbara Luke and her team of writers cover each subject with a buoyant determination to tell it all and tell it well--avoiding the typical "how to name and dress your twins" issues. Accompanying the detailed medical perspective of Dr. Luke are personal experiences gathered from the journals of a few articulate moms, making each subject as real as it is educational. Simple illustrations, valuable charts (including one to plot and monitor fetal growth in grams or pounds), specific menu examples (like how can you consume 4,500 calories if you're expecting quads???), and lots of reassurance make this book a winner. --Liane Thomas Product Description: A Clinically Proven Program for Women Pregnant with Multiples Completely Updated, with 50 Recipes for Optimal Birth Weight You're expecting more than one baby? Congratulations! In When You're Expecting Twins, Triplets, or Quads, Dr. Barbara Luke's practical, nutrition-based program has been proven to lower complications, resulting in much healthier babies. This revision offers more nutritional information, 50 recipes to maximize birth weight, and new guidelines on nutritional needs and vegetarian options. It also includes updated information that reflects the most current obstetric and pediatric practices, such as expanded safety information on exercise and reducing your risk for complications.

 Rating:  - Excellent resource when expecting multiplesI am only 13 weeks pregnant with twins, but have found that this book is extremely useful! As several other reviewers have noted many books do not give proper information on multiples. Even doctors and nurses are vague about the special requirements of growing multiples. The book handles all angles (positive and negative) in a helpful and non-threatening way. It emphasizes dietary requirements, which are really important, and things to watch for during pregnancy to prevent problems, and advice ... Read More Rating:  - this book really turned me offwhen i found out i was having twins (surprise) i ran to find anything i could read on the subject. i was very offended by the author's suggestion that most twin pregnancies are so precious... suggesting you should gain large amounts of weight (to support the babies), which my doctor advised against, and that you should not exercise. both of these things are myths that should not be continued in print! Rating: - The absolute MUST HAVE book for a healthy twin pregnancy!!I am convinced that this book is responsible for my making it to 38 weeks and delivering such big, healthy twins (7.5 and 5.5 lbs!). The thing I loved most about the book is that it focuses on what YOU can do to impact your pregnancy and it kept me focused and positive throughout. It seems every time I left the doctor's office I was in tears due to all of the warnings about twin pregnancy, but Dr. Luke's advice was positive and calming without being scary or dwelling on those things that are out of ... Read More Rating:  - Great resource about pregnancy- not so much about birthing them!This book was a great resource to providing information on how to have a healthy pregnancy with twins. I just wish my Doctor could have read it too! One thing it didn't help with so much was the means by which to get the babies out in the safest way. I ended up with a c-section and after lots and lots of research have come to the conclusion that it was unnecessary, especially after having my first singleton all naturally. Rating: - Maximizes pregnancy outcome!This book was one of the keys to my healthy twin pregnancy. True, it's hard to follow the nutritional advice to the letter, but you just do the best you can. I promise that if you're not a big fan of meat, you will get used to it when you know that you're helping your babies grow. The book also contains nutritional advice for vegetarians. I started out at a BMI of 18 and carried my twins to 38 weeks (scheduled c-section, never went into labor) with no complications and no bedrest. Both were born ... Read More
