Multiple Birth Video Guide

AMBA

Australian families talk about their experiences as they're happening, sharing their hopes and fears during pregnancy, the delivery of their babies, and the first few hectic months at home.

Topics covered include the practicalities, developing routines, seeking help, preserving relationships and coping with the effect on other siblings. Scenes include the actual delivery of twin babies, both vaginally and by Caesarean section. It's an honest and often moving account of what can be an overwhelming but ultimately wonderful experience.

Approximately 55 minutes in length. Available in DVD format.
