Victoria and Dick's Twin to Twin Transfusion Surgery journey

Newly pregnant parents Victoria and Dick were shocked to discover they were having identical twins, and shock turned to despair at 16 weeks when they learnt the twins suffered from a rare condition called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS).

The condition affects identical twins who share a placenta, and experience an imbalance in blood flow. TTTS affects approximately 10 per cent (one in ten) of identical twins that share a single placenta. Survival of the babies is limited if left untreated.

Victoria said receiving the news was devastating.
