Premature twin sisters cuddle each other after C-section

12 January 2021

Aria and Skylar, premature twin sisters, have been pictured cuddling each other after being delivered by C-section.

The photo was taken by a midwife in a London hospital.

Aria and Skylar were diagnosed with Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) at 20 weeks.

TTTS is a condition in which two twins or more share a placenta in the womb, as well as the same system of blood vessels, essential to their development.

In the case of Aria and Skylar, laser ablation surgery was required, which was carried out successfully.

The twins were then born prematurely. After spending five weeks in hospital, they went home with their parents.

A SPUC spokesperson said: “With so much tragedy going on in the world today, it is wonderful to hear of a story of hope, joy and the overcoming of odds.”
