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."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMotherhood 606 $aMultiple birth 606 $aParenting 606 $aMothers 606 $aMultiple pregnancy 615 0$aMotherhood. 615 0$aMultiple birth. 615 0$aParenting. 615 0$aMothers. 615 0$aMultiple pregnancy. 676 $a306.874/3 702 $aMantas$b Kathy$f1966- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808264603321 996 $aOn mothering multiples$94101207 997 $aUNINA
