They gave the twins a 0% chance of survival and we discussed ‘comfort care’ which basically means no medical intervention. This was unthinkable to me.

We were delighted and nervous to be having more than one baby. However, we quickly became aware of the complications of twin pregnancy and were diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome at 16 weeks

She spent 41 days on a ventilator and it was five weeks before I could have my first cuddle with her.

I was told that it would be likely that I would have to deliver our baby in the coming days. If we were really lucky, we would make it to 30 weeks, but they needed to find me a bed in a hospital with a level 3 neonatal unit.
