  I can't seem to respond to you - it says it can't find you as a user.  So here's my answers; feel free to ask me anything - I'm an open book.

  CRM and Dr. Campbell are great.  I had a great experience but never have been so glad never to see a place again

  I LOVE my OB.  Dr. Andrea Flom @ John Haugen & Associates - they have offices dtn mpl and Edina.  She's VERY well respected in the field and I felt v. comfortable w/ her.  She was v. open and said if there were any complications w/ the babies, she'd send me to a Peri.  As it was, she sends all her twins patients to MN Perinatal Physicians @ Abbott for their BIG u/s to make sure there aren't any huge red flags.  

  I ended up on bedrest @ wk 22 w/ early contractions and my dr. was a bit conservative but I was grateful. 

  Abbott was great.  I spent a lot of time there b/c I had to go to the maternal assessment center weekly while I was on bedrest to check on the babies.  I have no complaints and am heading back there to deliver my daughter NEXT WEEK!!!  My boys didn't have NICU time but I felt good knowing that Children's was right there.  Also, they have special care IN the maternity ward - Luke needed some time there for Glucose levels.

  Do you like your current OB or are you looking for a new one anyway?  I know that multiples pg automatically 'high risk' but IMO, I don't think that means you automatically need to search for a Peri.  If you're babies are doing well, an OB should have the skills to take care of your pg.   And @ abbott, you'll have 2 pedis @ your delivery (at least I did). 

  Are you in Mpls or the westside?  I'm in St. Paul and am a member of St. Paul Moms of Multiples.  I'm not usually one for "clubs" but I do enjoy meeting w/ these MoMs once a month AND taking advantage of the bi-annual sales.  Let me know if you'd like info on it - our Spring sale is coming up in March.

  I'm happy to answer questions.  I know it's really overwhelming.
