Book Reviews of Having Twins And More: A Parent's Guide to Multiple Pregnancy, Birth, and Early ChildhoodBook Review: A Mother of Twins Knows Summary: 5 Stars
Elizabeth Noble has inspired me for a quarter of a century. Her revision of the classic Having Twins informs us how thoroughly the "Birth Machine" has infiltrated childbirth. My twins were born almost 30 years ago. During active labor, I was measured, sonogramed, x-rayed, and told I would need a cesarean so I then checked myself out of the hospital, went home, and gave natural birth to my twin daughters. As a mother of six children including twins, I know that it is easier to birth two babies than one and the the higher risk involved depends on who attends the birth, if they know that twins will be born, and if they have been medically educated beyond our mammailian intelligence. (Read the MIDRS study verifying this, if you doubt.) Thank you Elizabeth for a wonderful contribution to the growing childbirth library. The hand that rocks the Birth Machine frees the world.
