Hi Ladies,

I must confess to being a lurker here in Twins and Multiples since my first beta a few weeks ago and am delighted that our first scan yeaterday confirmed that DH and I are indeed expecting twins in April next year.

I'm sure I'll be popping in to draw on your invaluable advice from time to time but while I'm getting my head around all this and waiting for our second scan on 19/9, I wondered if there are any books on twins you would recommend?

Cheers

Kaz

I highly recommend

"TWINS - A practical and emotional guide to parenting twins." It's written by Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan. It's an Australian book too which I think is great. original.gif

Congratulations Kaz and welcome to the wonderful world of twins!

I second Nee, a great book.

huge congratulations littlefeet on your sticky babies! original.gif
Have you recovered from the shock of the US yet?!

I've read so many twin books... I originally bought a few but discovered that our local library had a surprisingly large range of them - I recommend checking out your library and just borrow all of them! They each have different tips and techniques, I've found it interesting to read them all.
Also recommend joining your local Multiple Birth Association - they have lots of useful info and a library you can access. And don't forget to join in the "Expecting Multiples" DG here too!
Good luck! original.gif
