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?
--------------------------------------------------------

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.
