Pregnant Mom Carries Dead Unborn Baby for 10 Weeks to Give Twin Best Chance at Survival
A pregnantmom carried her dead unborn daughter for 10 weeks in a bid to give the twin daughter the best chance of survival. Her 1-year-old baby girl now celebrates her 1st birthday milestone.
Florence Plant, 26, from Leicester, was devastated when doctors told her she had developed twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare condition that causes unequal amounts of the placenta’s blood supply going to each twin.
The expecting mother was given three options: to deliver both twins at 25 weeks, terminate the pregnancy, or to continue the pregnancy, with both twins still inside, until 35 weeks. Florence says that she and her husband, Sam, 26, decided to continue with the pregnancy and were devastated when they were told their daughter, Minnie, had passed away at 25 weeks.
