On Mothering Multiples: Complexities and Possibilities seeks to (re)explore, (re)present, and make meaning of the process of conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering experiences with multiples. It features a collection of scholarly, creative non-fiction, and visual essays from a wide range of disciplines and cultural perspectives. Additionally, these scholarly and more artful accounts contribute to a body of literature that although present is also limited, and provide insight into some of the complexities and possibilities inherent in mothering multiples."--Provided by publisher.MotherhoodMultiple birthParentingMothersMultiple pregnancyMotherhood.Multiple birth.Parenting.Mothers.Multiple pregnancy.306.874/3Mantas Kathy1966-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796323903321On mothering multiples3864459UNINA
