--------------------------------------------------------
Sebastiano - 4/2/2012 2:11 pm
Well done to everyone who braved the rain on Saturday
to attend the Spring consignment sale. I hope you found
what you were looking for, and/or sold what you wanted
to sell.A special thank you to our co-chairs Deborah
Granelli and Linda Lee. Without their commitment and
leadership, we wouldn't have had the biggest club event
of the year - almost one third of the membership
attended the sale.Enjoy your loot,Sebastian

Presented by Tom O'Brien(SFPOM member and father of

children's education and protecting their families with
life and disability insurance.— What are my options
for saving for college for my twins?— How does my
savings choice affect their ability to qualify for
financial aid?— How much life insurance do I really
need?— What are the different types of life
insurance and which one is right for me?— What
would happen if I was unable to work due to a sickness
or injury? Am I adequately covered at work?This
material is being presented by Tom O'Brien of SGC
Financial and Insurance Services. Tom is an SFPOM

Night nurse, birth doulaWe are expecting twins for the
end of July.We are thinking to hire a birth doula (if
she can speak or understand French it would be great !)
Do you have any advice? Also we want to hire a night
nurse or night doula. (no need to speak French )What is
the difference exactly between a night nurse and a
night doula? How much do they cost? Do you have any
recommendation for a great night nurse for twins?Thank
you Estelle

Check Natural Resources
http://www.naturalresources-sf.com/index.html - they
have something like "meet the doulas" event where you
can chat with doulas and see who has what experiences
and matches your needs the best and (!) has openings.
We went to the event but unfortunately decided to go
with someone off Yelp instead (was more affordable) and
it wasn't good. Natural Resources seems to invite
doulas that have proven themselves.Here is another

congratulations! i agree about dr. luke. wanted to
also pass the following along. i delivered the babies
in hospital, but also hired a midwife for additional
pre-natal care (and to act as a doula during delivery).
she helped me with diet/protein a lot, which I think
helped me to carry the girls to 39 weeks. She had me
drink a three litres of water a day. I also took the
most amazing prenatal vitamins during my pregnancy -
they're all plant based -
http://www.drugstore.com/super-nutrition-prenatal-blend-2-tablets/qxp326649.
I took them every night before bed with a greek
yogurt, milk and whey protein smoothie to get a huge
protein punch. The vitamins never upset my stomach
taking them this way. This whey protein tasted the
best:
http://www.jayrobb.com/protein/whey-protein-vanilla-24-oz-bag.aspalso,
if your blood pressure starts to creep up, you can take
passion flower tincture at will for as long as
necessary. and, i also cut out apple juice - i love it
- to avoid gestational diabetes.i went swimming as much
as possible - several times/week. near the end it
helped me to feel human!if you have any questions, i'd
be happy to talk more. best, jen
