 New Hope For TTTS

  When I had my girls the decision for a c-section was done immediately. But now I see that the delivery of twins has changed. In Brazil. Laser ablation of placental vessels for treatment of severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome. This procedure is rare but it has been proven successful.  Delivery of twins is a very nerve racking experience. Knowing that your children are in jeopardy is the worst. Luckily we live in a world that doesn't stop searching and researching  for ways to lessen any worries for all that comes in any families ways. I am thankful that even though in 1996 my daughters were born by c-section, I am happy for those new mothers with multiples.

  1. That is great that you had a successful birth of your twin girls! They are adorable! I am sure that was nervous time for you, I could only imagine. In order to achieve my current pregnancy, I had to do IVF and the one thing that scared me the most was the idea of twins. You hear so many horrible stories about twin births. It is great to know you had such a successful birth of your baby girls!
