 I used the Doula Collective so that I had a team of two
 guaranteed. Would highly recommend them. We delivered
 at UCSF after three days of induction that resulted in
 a C-section. They were worth every cent for the
 grounded advice and support supplied over that time.
 Since they work as a team, the two rotated their time
 with us so we were never left without someone. I know
 they have experience with other twin
 pregnancies/births. Best of luck!

 my 'doula' was a 25 yrs/1000 babies home birth midwife.
 she agreed to take me on as a client in the role of
 'labor management consultant'. in addition to her
 guidance during birth, her prenatal care (on top of my
 ucsf hospital ob care) was extraordinary. i cannot
 recommend maria highly enough. she's a treasure. if
 you're interested - set up a consult with her via her
 website appointment scheduler:

 with you or answer any questions. best, jen

 Sounds like a developmental leap!
 http://www.thewonderweeks.com/mental-leap-3/I found The
 Wonder Weeks super helpful for my own sanity as a good
 explanation of why my normally laid back babies
 suddenly became terrors for a period of time and then
 magically became amazing babies that could do so much
 more than before. I found it to be one of the most
 reassuring things as a first time mom. The app isn't as
 good as the book.

 Congrats on the upcoming twins! I have successfully
 tandem worn my twins since soon after they were born
 until currently at almost 16 months. At first I used
 the Moby, but graduated to soft structured carriers and
 mei tais once they could sit. It is unsafe to use a
 soft structured carrier for a back carry until an
 infant can sit on their own. A great resource is
 Babywearing International of the Bay Area. They have a
 facebook group and meet once a month for a meeting in
 San Francisco. The new meeting location is actually at
 Natural Resources in the Mission. I became a member and
 was able to borrow a carrier for free every month while
 I tried out different combinations to see what worked
 best for us. It was super useful as my needs changed as
 the babies grew and one of their leaders has a lot of
 tandem wearing experience. You can attend meetings
 while pregnant to get an idea of what some good options
 are and it will be a lot easier to do while they are
 still in you! Their next SF meeting is the 28th of
 August.http://bwibayarea.wix.com/bwiba/
