ABOUT THE BOOK
"This book provides detailed information to any woman who is expecting super twins. The information available in this book is so unique that I could not find in any other general pregnancy book. I strongly recommend it for any woman expecting triplets or more!

"I hated this book. While it did contain useful information, it also had a lot of stuff that I found offensive. Stuff saying how your triplets did not ask to be triplets (putting the blame on you) and how if something goes wrong its your fault. The section about how the woman treats the husband drove me crazy too. I felt like it was a throw back to the 60s."

"Its Ok.. I hoped for it to be a little more like What to expect when expecting.. I was disappointed"

"This book was invaluable during my twin pregnancy, explaining clearly how and why this would be different from my singleton pregnancy. The diagrams of increasing head size and decreasing hospital stay length kept me motivated, even when the going got tough near the end.
I didn't try to get all the calories Dr. Luke recommends every day, but I did eat the way she described and kept my weight gain right in the window she gives. Her insight on the need for weight gain before week 28 was right on -- I lost a few pounds in the last month because my body couldn't keep up with the babies' needs.
The result? Delivery at 37 weeks and 1 day. Nathaniel was a healthy 6 lbs, 7 oz, and his sister Grace was 5 lbs, 13 oz. Both had brief NICU time, stayed with us the rest of the time in the hospital, and were discharged with us. They're doing great! I was worried the weight gain would stick with me, but at three months postpartum, I'm within two pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight. Carefully gained weight really does come off.
Ultimately we're thankful to God, but Dr. Luke's book was so encouraging along the way!"
