WWYD w/to giving advice on twin pregnancy

RinnieRinnie
in Multiples

I have a good friend who just found out her DD is having twins. Identical twins to be exact.

I think she told me she is only 4 weeks along or something, but they called and told us thinking we would get a kick out of it since we know the DD and after spending time with them this summer, she had made a comment that being around our DD & twins has cured her of having anymore kids.  She already has a son.

Ok my friend is going to give her DD my number & email address to talk to me and get advice on all things twins.

If she does end up calling for advice....

How far should I go and what should I say?

She is still in shock and I don't want to overwhelm her. 

Although  I have to say I really wish I had someone to help me through questions with procedures and test and such - instead of reading it on the internet and freaking myself out.    But that is me - I know some people want to figure it out on there own.

    I would let her ask you any questions she might have already, then you could bring up important things you wished someone would have told you about a twin pregnancy vs a singleton.  This is a first pregnancy for me, so the information I'm getting is from the books and the boards here (i.e. I wasn't aware of what a peri was or what they did before).  Otherwise, just let her ask questions and if you like her, tell her to call you with anything else she's got questions about.

    just let her ask questions- that is IF she even calls- i know i would never call some random person just b/c they had twins- that is what the internet is for :)

    I would pretty much just answer her questions.  I think if you went into everything twins, it would just be too much info.  Definitely keep the lines of communication open so that she can always call you about other questions.  Maybe every time you talk you could tell her a little more, but if it's one big conversation, unless she's taking notes, 1/2 will probably go in one ear and out the other, there's just so much to process.
