i was pregnant with a set of twins. one passed on at 13 weeks enutero and the other made it to 29 weeks before coming a bit early. the twin that passed had (i suppose you could say) mumification going on. when i found out the one twin had died, it was because i thought my water had broken so off to the hospitol to find out it was the passed on baby's fluids, and not her sister.

What is twin to twin transfusion?

Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome is a disease of the placenta in identical twins. The twins share both blood and nutrients. The placenta shunts more blood and nutrients to one twin while starving the other twin. There is only a 20% of survival and most all who survive are pre-term. My girls survived and we were diagnosed at 17 weeks. They were born at 30 weeks, 1lb 15 oz and 2 lbs 14 oz.
