1. Updated: New and Expectant Parents Group Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------
lesdeux - 9/23/2015 1:00 pm

 Meetings are held the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each
 month, from 1-2:30pm. Meetings are held at Calvary
 Presbyterian Church at 2515 Fillmore Street (between
 Pacific and Jackson). Enter the church to the right of
 the main entrance with all the stairs, which has a ramp
 that will lead to double doors. Enter and you'll see an
 elevator straight ahead. Take the elevator to the 3rd
 floor, exit and walk all the way back past the
 bathrooms to the Nursery.Parking: There is 2-hour
 street parking on neighboring streets and metered
 parking on Fillmore (hit or miss, but I can usually
 find a spot within 10 minutes). There is a parking
 garage (CPMC garage) on Clay between Webster and
 Buchanan in case you can't find parking elsewhere. It's
 a few blocks away but it's an option.We welcome all
 expecting and new parents with multiples under one year
 of age. Come alone, with your partner, and/or your
 babies. You may also bring the helping hands of
 friends, nannies, and grandparents. Should you run out
 of helping hands we have many more ready to help out.
 The New and Expectant Parents Group is an ideal place
 to gain invaluable twin parenting advice, an
 opportunity to ask many questions, to see how other
 parents cope with more than one baby, a place to laugh,
 to cry, to rejoice, and to share proud and scary
 moments in our step-by-step journey into parenthood of
 multiples. You must be a member to attend regularly.
 Prospective members may attend one meeting before
 joining.You can contact the moderator at

2. Childbirth classes for multiples?
--------------------------------------------------------
ehfox1013 - 9/23/2015 11:07 am

 Hello everyone,I'm nearly 20 weeks pregnant now with
 mono-di twins and wanted to know if there are any local
 childbirth classes that are especially designed for
 parents of multiples. We could go to a Bradley class,
 but it would be great if there were a class that
 especially addressed things like breech extractions of
 baby b, preterm delivery, and other issues more
 associated with twin births.Thanks in advance,Beth

 Our twin B also flipped by week 28 so that they were
 vertex vertex. We also delivered at Kaiser SF, and
 wanted to avoid an epidural, which was one of many
 things they pressured us to do. We were there for a
 long time trying for a vaginal delivery (one failed
 induction at 39 weeks, one signing out AMA, a second
 failed induction at 40 weeks, ending in a c-section),
 so we had LOTS of teams of doctors. One team told us
 flat out that they don't do breech extractions (despite
 being experienced), so that if B flipped after A
 exited, I would need a c-section. We asked if they
 would hold B from the outside to prevent her flipping
 (which happened during the twin delivery of a friend),
 and they said yes, but they still wanted me to have an
 epidural in case I needed a c-section. We didn't end up
 going into labor with that team, but I'd highly
 recommend doing your own research (we also did Bradley
 method classes) so that you can advocate for what you
 want confidently if you're delivering at a hospital
 with rotating coverage like Kaiser.
