Thank you all so much for your help and thoughts. Rach has very helpfully put me onto Jessie at ACOCP who has been an absolute marvel.
Natalie is now 23.5 weeks and both babies are still inside and alive. She turns 24 weeks on Thursday. They are still not sure whether Twin B will make it, and what sort of disabilities s/he will probably have (if any). However, last scan showed Twin A's fluid around the heart hasn't gotten any worse. This leaves Natalie with some hope, but she's still very confused about the whole situation. She's gone from - you're losing both, you'll lose Twin B, you'll lose both, you'll probably lose Twin A, you definitely will lose Twin A, Twin B might be okay, Twin A isn't getting any worse... the poor girl's head is being done in. I guess the only thing to help will be time and prayers.
Thank you for the other suggestions - I will get her a journal and take it in tomorrow. The hand/footprints I think are being arranged by SANDS and she's probably having counselling through them too, in due course.
It's so hard - I feel so awful for her. But as long as the babies are hanging in there, there's still hope.
Thank you all so much for your help and support.
