'I wasn’t given any good choices. They were effectively killing each other in the womb.'
A Northern Ireland mum whose premature twins were “killing each other’’ in the womb has spoken of her joy after their miracle recovery.
Medics at The Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in Belfast, were keen to delay the twins’ birth for as long as possible to give them a “fighting chance’’ and admitted her for observation on August 23, 2022. “I was told I could do nothing and most likely lose both of them or have a surgery with a 30 per cent survival rate. I was even asked if I wanted to terminate the pregnancy.
But the surgery didn’t work and eight weeks later the babies were born after an emergency c-section. Laura added: “The day before, they looked great, we had no idea. Then, the next day, we were told that if we don’t deliver Maebh, we would lose her. Doctors told us they were safer outside - it was terrifying.”
As a result of the extra pressure in the womb, Clodagh developed a congenital heart defect for which she will need lifelong screening. By 24 December 2022, both girls had the chance to meet their older brother and spend their first Christmas as a family.
