A new survey suggests that two thirds of all expectant parents of twins and multiple births are denied access to multiple-specific parent education, which could be vital for promoting healthy outcomes for mothers and their unborn twins and triplets. As a result they are more at risk of medical complications, less prepared for the birth experience itself and more prone to post-natal depression. Jane is joined by Lorna Wood of Liverpool Women's Hospital, a midwife specialising in twin and multiple birth; and Maggie Brierton, mother of triplets, to discuss what support these families can be given during pregnancy.
