Sometimes’s a mothers instinct is all what that
matters, not just what a doctor says.
A UK woman, Lynn Seigenberg, who had spent nine
years trying to conceive, after having been diagnosed
with polycistic ovary syndrome was delighted when she
found that she was finally expecting a set of triplets.
This joy was however cut short when doctors warned
her that the babies were at risk of a rare syndrome.
She was told she was at risk of twin-to-twin
transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a life-threatening
condition which can occur in identical twins sharing the
same placenta.
One twin receives an abnormally high amount of blood
and nutrients, which can strain its heart, while the other
becomes small and anaemic and may die.
Lynn, 36, and her husband Leon , 42, at the time insisted
they should keep all three – and against all-the-odds
they were indeed born healthy.
Lynn said:
“I was shell-shocked and very scared when told to
abort two of my children. I was also disappointed
with the professional consultant that had that view.
“How can a mother choose which of her children
lives or dies? In the end our personal instinct
kicked in. We had no medical proof that anything
was wrong, but the consultant considered the risk
higher because of my history.”
Now her triplets will begin school tomorrow and she is
filled with so much joy as to not aborting two of them.
Now, four year-olds, Ethan, Logan, and Lexie are all
beaming with health.
Lynn said:
“We are all very excited about the children’s first
day at school. They will all be in the same
reception class– they are wonderful.”
