In this episode, I talk with Lucy—a twin mom whose pregnancy took an unexpected and life-threatening turn when she was diagnosed with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) at just 16 weeks. Lucy walks me through the whirlwind of emotions and decisions that followed, including undergoing fetal surgery at Johns Hopkins to save her babies. We dive into what TTTS is, how it’s diagnosed, and what every parent of twins should know about monitoring and care. Lucy’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of maternal-fetal health, self-advocacy, and trusting a mother’s intuition.
