This was an odd book. Although I appreciated the author's belief in good nutrition and vaginal childbirth for mothers carrying multiples, I found much of her advice rather "out there." I'm a doula and childbirth educator and semi-"crunchy mom" and even I raised my eyebrows at her assertions that, for example, milk and other dairy products are basically poison. She also writes at great length about the psychology of prenatal memory and how babies carry memories from the womb for their whole life and so on.
All in all it was rather a slog and I am not sure why this book was chosen to be on a required reading list for postpartum doula certification. I do need to learn about twins for my work but don't feel I got much information of use from this book.
