These are a few of our favorite books. Most were
recommended to us from friends and family. We
thought we'd share them with everyone.
Your Pregnancy Week by Week
We actually discovered this book on the plane ride home
from our honeymoon.The
person who shared our row was pregnant, and strongly recommended the
book if we ever decided to have kids .As soon as the test showed
two stripes, I bought the book.This week-by-week guideline
includes information on how mom’s body is changing, how the baby is
developing, and other issues such as prenatal testing, doctor
visits, pregnancy complications, how your actions affect baby’s
development, etc.

When You’re Expecting Twins,
Triplets or Quads
This
book, written by Doctor Barbara Luke, a mother of twins, and
Tamara Eberlein, another mother of twins is a “must” for a
multiple-mom-to-be’s library.I found the information relating to a multiple pregnancy
invaluable.The book
addresses the differences between a multiple and singleton
pregnancy, medical reasons why a multiple mom should not try to keep
up with singleton moms, the importance of rest and nutrition in a
multiple pregnancy, and how to reduce the risk of pregnancy
complications.This
book actually provided more information than our care provider on
many multiple-related issues.

Everything You Need to Know to Have a Healthy
Twins Pregnancy
Dr. Gila Leiter, the author of the book, is a
mother of twins.This
book was given to me shortly after our ultrasound showed us that we
were having twins.The
book is very informative and provided an excellent base of
information for us to answer the question “TWINS!What do we do now?”The book includes
trimester-by-trimester “what’s happening” chapters which includes
the changes in your body, babies’ development, and addressed
concerns and issues which we found very useful.
