Experience I have bgg triplets born in 1999 and three more boys born in 2002, 2006, and 2008, the last two by VBA2C (vaginal birth after 2 cesareans). My triplets were born at 26 weeks. My singletons were all full-term and fully breastfed. We have raised our triplets with no help and with a blind father. One of our triplets is also disabled with mild CP and mild autism, two have some vision problems, and one has had lung issues since birth.

Answer I am not familiar with this specific book. In general, however, I would not recommend spending too much time with standard pregnancy books. Most of them are geared towards singleton pregnancies, and multiples at best receive an extra chapter or, at worst, a footnote here and there. Look for books that speak exclusively to multiples. There are a few things that are very different in multiple pregnancies, particularly nutrition and the risks of preterm labor.
One thing I always recommend is the Brewer diet. You can find it at www.blueribbonbaby.org. The Brewer diet can help prevent preeclampsia/toxemia, while providing for optimum fetal growth and nice, high birthweights. You should gain 40-50 pounds with twins, so start eating, and good luck!
