1. Discipline class for toddlers and beyond
--------------------------------------------------------
celestess - 2/21/2012 10:08 am

 There have been some recent threads about difficult
 toddler behavior. I wanted to let everyone know about
 a seminar I'm going to be taking starting next week
 called the Discipline Class that is taught by the
 director of my preschool. She offers it every year and
 parents I know who have taken it have told me it
 changed their family dynamic for the better in a huge
 way. It's 4-5 nights in March on Wednesdays or
 Thursdays - a huge time commitment! But wanted to let
 other toddler twin parents know in case they were
 interested. For me, my largely docile and compliant two
 year olds have been morphing into more difficult almost
 three year olds and I am really looking forward to
 finding some lasting strategies. More info

 Congrats! My mon di twins are now 8 weeks. We had the
 same monitoring with ultrasounds, NSTs and doctor
 visits. I was induced at 37 weeks, Both were head down
 so I delivered vaginally. I consider myself very lucky
 to have avoided complications associated with mono di's
 and a much dreaded cesarean. I guess it's best to
 expect the worse and hope for the best! My boys ended
 up weighing 6.9lbs each and no time in the NICU. We
 did have to return to the hospital a couple days later
 because one needed to go under the lights for jaundice.
 Best of luck to you! Stay positive :D

 Hi,My mono/di twins are now active, chubby, friendly,
 normal 21-month olds, and they didn't start out that
 way. I had such a low placenta that it was termed
 partial previa, so I delivered by C-section. (Side
 note: my first child was delivered vaginally, and
 while a wonderful experience, was not as easy of a
 recovery for me as the C-section). It was a scheduled
 delivery at 35 weeks, earlier than usual because the
 twins' growth rate was slowing down, which was a big
 concern (also my "advanced age" of 40 at the time). 
 The boys were both slightly more than 3.5 lbs at birth,
 some jaundice, but breathed on their own. They spent 2
 weeks in the NICU until they could hold temperature and
 bottle-feed without a feeding tube. I have no regrets
 about any of the decisions made by us or the doctors. 
 While it was unfortunate that the time in the NICU
 meant that breastfeeding didn't work out (couldn't
 overcome the additional hurdles of not making enough
 milk and them learning to feed on a bottle), and they
 also developed an enduring pacifier addiction, it was
 worth those sacrifices for the most healthy
 outcome.Anyway, message is that even little preemies
 can now make it just fine with the right care! If you
 are making it to 36 weeks with no signs of issues, you
 are in good shape!My doctors at CPMC were Dr. Otto
 (Awesome skills), Dr. Main (great advice), Dr. Farner
 (been my wonderul OB/GYN for 10 years), and Dr. Cabrera
 (another dynamo in Dr. Farner's group). Congrats--and
 rest up!
