1. Doula for Labor: Recommendations
--------------------------------------------------------
crysinsf - 7/8/2013 4:11 pm

 Hello friends, I joined SFPOM about a month ago. Loving
 the site. I see lots of recommendations of night/post
 delivery doulas, but none for during the laboring
 process. My twins are due in November and I really
 hoping for a vaginal birth experience vs C-section, and
 I've read that having a doula during labor increases
 your chances of it. Plus, my hubby and I just might
 need someone to help out, advocate for us, and explain
 what is going on. Do you have any recommendations?
 Thanks!

 I delivered at UCSF. Once you are in active labor they
 put you in the surgery room just in case of a c
 section. In that room I was only allowed 1 person to
 join and chose my husband to be there. It would have
 been nice to have a doula there for early labor. UCSF
 does have volunteer doulas however none were available
 during my delivery. Might be worth looking into at
 your hospital. Good luck!

3. Newborn Photographer that takes great twins pics?

 We are expecting our twins at the end of Aug/beg of
 Sept and are trying to find a photographer that takes
 great newborn twin pics. We also want to get some good
 pics of our (almost) 3 year old son with his new
 siblings. Would love recommendations!

 I love our newborn photos and the photographer was
 great with the babies. I posted a recommendation for
 her last month:

5. CARES harness: could a child wear a rock climbing harness
with it?
--------------------------------------------------------
sf_tribe - 7/8/2013 6:31 am

 Maybe this is over the top, but I am wondering if a
 child could wear a climbing harness w/ the CAREs
 harness to prevent him from sliding under the
 seatbelt.Or is this ridiculous?

Topic: Frozen embryos

 After 5 years of fertility treatments, we finally had our
 babies using donor eggs...

 We also have a couple left over blasts and I am so
 conflicted about what to do with them. That said, we
 were told that they cannot be donated to another couple
 unless we had had PGD testing on them - which we didn't
 do in our course of treatment. Also, I am not sure that
 current legislation allows for them to be donated to
 science - but I could be wrong.

 I really wonder what my frozen ones would look like in
 real life, but after having twins I highly doubt they
 will be given the opportunity for this - two is enough
 for us. It is weird, as I always wonder what if the
 doctor had used different ones for the implant, but
 anyway I digress.My frozen ones will be donated to
 science. I am very happy that they will be doing
 embryonic stem cell research with them (or at least
 that's what I'm thinking they will be doing with them.)
 I would not just destroy them nor would I give them to
 another couple to use, the first is a waste in my book,
 and the second one is too weird for me to do.
