Twins by Louise Ryan
When Louise and Katrina discovered they were having twins, both had the same thought once they recovered from the shock: buy a book that explains what to expect in order to get organised and to prepare emotionally and physically for the anticipated upheaval to their lives. When they couldn't find such a text, they decided to write it themselves. Based on extensive research as well as their own and other twin parents' experiences of pregnancy, birth and twin toddlers, Katrina and Louise offer sound practical advice that is backed up by medical practitioners and health professionals where relevant. Detailed information with user-friendly explanations of medical jargon is peppered with amusing and moving stories of catastrophe, chaos and coping. There are at-a-glance hints and survival tips at the end of each chapter and easy-reference tables of information throughout. The number of multiple births is rapidly increasing due to IVF and the older age range of new mothers. More people are having twins (or multiples) than ever before. This is the book they have to have.
Katrina Bowman and Louise Ryan met at a South Eastern Multiple Birth Association (SEMBA) barbecue, bonded instantly, and within weeks were writing the book they wished they'd had when they were pregnant. Louise has worked in the book industry for sixteen years and is the mother of non-identical twins, Camille and Celeste, conceived through the IVF program and born in 1999. Katrina Bowman has a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and over twelve years experience in the public relations industry. She is the mother of Charlotte and Ella, identical twins born in 2000. Both Katrina and Louise have been active members of SEMBA, and regularly speak at multiple birth conferences.
