Considers the needs of prospective multiple-birth parents
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Elizabeth Noble is the author of seven books, including Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year, Childbirth with Insight, and Having Your Baby by Donor Insemination. She is the founder of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association, and of the Maternal and Child Health Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
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.
