Rating:  - Wonderful Book to Read!!!
How do I even start...I found this book to be informative, but also to be the laughter that I've needed for months. The author uses a lot of humor and reality based writing for her readers. I think having had a child previously I was able to relate to her sense humor while pregnant and through delivery.

Rating:  - Much better books for twins are out there!
I have read several twin pregnancy books, and this one is the least informative by far.

Many books are out there, but this quick read is a reference you will pick up again and again.
