Big Sister Program

Twinstuff is now offering a Big Sister mentoring program. As a "little sister", you will be assigned to an experienced twin mom eager to help you by providing support, guidance, knowledgeable advice and friendship. You can contact her with your gripes, fears, burning questions, or just to chat. If you're interested in getting connected with your own Big Sister that will be there through your pregnancy and beyond, send Bex a Private Message (also known as a PM). We hope that you take advantage of this awesome program.

Q.How can I sign up to be matched with a Big Sister?
A.If you would like to sign up to be matched please send a PM to Bex.

No, it's just for people running the program, not the individuals who are particpating as members and being offered a big sister.

We use the responses to the questionnaire that we send to the Little Sisters in order to find a suitable match.

 

Is this still open for enlistment lol

 

Cari,

I just sent you an e-mail. I don't think your PMs are going through!

 

Hi,
Every time I click on Trish (FirstTimeMom814) I get an error message that says "Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available." I am logged in. Do you have to be a paying member to belong to the BS group? I would like to get a mentor/big sister if I could. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Trish,
I posted a PM a couple of days ago but I don't think it went through as it hasn't shown up on my sent messages.
I am first time mum-to-be at 14 weeks pg - I just discovered the site and find it really useful and reassuring. I would love to be a Little Sister. What should I do?
love Jo

Jo, I just replied to your PM. Sent messages won't show in your sent box unless you check the "Save to sent Messages" before you click send.

 

Hi Trish,

I sent you a PM a couple of days ago about being a Little Sister and was just making sure that you received the message!

Thanks!

 

Holly,

I've been a little backlogged, but I've just replied this afternoon. Thanks for your patience.
