SUMMER LISTENING: The Mum Whose Identical Twins Shared A Single Placenta
About this episode
Laura Parr shares her extraordinary journey of having identical twins from a single frozen embryo after years of fertility treatments.
This summer we've curated your Delivery Room playlist with even more birth stories from our friends at Diary Of A Birth. Enjoy! One embryo. Two heartbeats. After years of fertility treatments, Laura Parr found herself staring at an ultrasound screen showing the impossible—her single frozen embryo had split into identical twins. In today's episode, Laura shares her extraordinary journey from having her son Lucas through IVF, to the shock of discovering her second embryo—frozen for two years—had developed into identical twins - with no history of twins in the family. She takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of multiple ovarian induction cycles that finally yielded nine precious eggs and the complex reality of carrying monochorionic diamniotic twins who shared a single placenta but had separate amniotic sacs. From severe morning sickness to a dramatic caesarean at 34 weeks, Laura's precious twins transformed their families life forever. Listen to more Diary Of A Birth here.
