For Your Professional Library December 2, 2008 I have this book in my professional library. I work with couples and families, and I have come across more families with multiple births in recent years than ever before. This book is useful for me and useful for my clients. I truly appreciate the fact that the author is a practicing professional as well as the fact that she is a mother of multiples. Her knowledge from both the personal and professional standpoints shows in her book. At the same time, the book is informative, easy to read, and entertaining. It makes a M.O.M. feel understood and helps her feel less stressed about her own experience because she is not alone.
Excellent, easy-reading, informative! November 20, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dr. Le-Bucklin has written a well-organized and easy-to-digest book that is a must-have for parents expecting twins. She combines insightful, personal experiences with her strong medical background to give a blend of information that both educates and entertains. This book addresses many of the questions, worries, and practical considerations that parents of multiples face straight from early pregnancy to infancy and beyond. An excellent reading experience!
Heart-warming and informative! October 20, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Moms of twins will feel this book is a heart-warming letter or conversation from a sister or best friend sharing her personal experience with her own twins. Real-life anecdotes create a connection between you and the author, forming a "sisterhood" of moms of multiples where shared experiences are both informative and entertaining. I found myself chuckling at some of the stories and nodding in confirmation at others. The best part is the confidence in knowing that the information comes from a mom of multiples who is also a successful pediatrician with serious professional credentials.
Must have for parents expecting twins! October 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Insightful and detailed, unlike any other book on the subject of twins. Dr. Le-Bucklin can relate to the reader from personal experience. The tips are realistic for "real life" application and incredibly effective. This book would make a great gift for moms expecting multiples!
Awesome book! October 13, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a must have for anyone who already has twins or is expecting twins! It is full of helpful tips and even definitions and explanations of common medical terms that a mother and father of multiples will hear throughout the pregnancy. It was both an informative and enjoyable read with fun twin facts and touching personal stories. It includes the author's own experience with the pregnancy of her own twins, uniquely given from a pediatrician and patient's perspective. I'd recommend it to all women and their families who will be blessed with their own pair of twins!
