2. A little concerned about confusing newborn twins...
--------------------------------------------------------

 I am having twin girls in a few weeks and maybe I am
 overthinking it, but I am kind of worried about
 confusing the babies when I get home if they look
 similar.Any ideas of ways to attach their "identity" to
 them? I was thinking maybe a spot of nailpolish on
 their toe nail. Or keep the hospital bracelets on. Any
 other tricks?

 Valid concern! Our identical boys were born at almost
 exactly the same birth weight, and with no easily
 distinguishable features (birth marks, etc). We
 definitely could not tell them apart at first.Our
 solution was to leave one hospital band on (the anklet
 on one twin). We left it until it got too tight, and
 then I put a cloth anklet on one of them just as backup
 until everyone can reliably tell them apart (it took me
 about a week - my husband and the night doula are still
 not entirely confident at six weeks - esp as when they
 are newborns their looks change so quickly).Other
 tricks I've heard: - Nail polish on one twin's
 toenails - it was suggested that we avoid fingernails
 bc they put them in their mouths so often (I didn't
 like this bc it involved undressing the baby to figure
 out who was who - I can feel the anklet through
 clothes)- Color coding clothes (which of course does
 not work so well for bath time, and can get tricky with
 late night changes!)- Fingerprints should be different
 (my experience is that this does not work until they
 are older as getting good fingerprints @ this age
 proved hopelessly difficult for us)- Ears are often
 different (turns out to be the case for us)Other
 advice: one twin mom friend of mine still thinks she
 may have switched hers a few times. Her advice was not
 to worry about it :). Doesn't work for us as we have a
 medical reason to need to keep them straight...Good
 luck!

 This isn't for any of the places you asked about -- but
 we LOVED our Bradley classes. I've posted about this
 before, but we're huge fans, especially of our
 particular Bradley instructor, Sabine Henrie-Naffaa. 
 She's actually in Berkeley, but close to the bridge, so
 it was no more than a 20 minute drive from our house,
 and that's about the same time it takes to get across
 SF!It's totally partner-oriented, and covers SO much -
 prenatal care, prep, breastfeeding, nutrition,
 labor/delivery, post natal care (of mom and baby), what
 to expect at every step of the way, birth plans, what
 options there are and how to ask about them - we
 honestly could have cancelled our birth doula and been
 just fine, once we took those classes. The classes
 are small, too - ours was 4 couples total - so you get
 to know your peers. It's usually a 12-week class, 2-3
 hrs/session, but I know they have some accelerated
 ones, depending on instructor/location. They aim for
 natural childbirth, and have a really high success rate
 - but you also learn about all the other options and
 possible interventions, so you're pretty well-prepared
 should the unexpected happen. Even when we felt like
 we had to DRAG ourselves TO the class, we ALWAYS came
 out feeling excited and empowered and inspired. You
 can read up a little more here, but the website itself
 is kind of generic... but I can't speak highly enough
 of our instructor, and you can find links to her here: 
 http://www.bradleybirth.com/Good luck with whatever you
 decide! I hope you find a good fit for you!
