You are here: Identical twins struggle.
I had my identical twins through IVF after trying for five years. My pregnancy was ok up until twenty five weeks, when I had daily contractions luckily my cervix didn't open until 33 weeks. I had severe pre-eclampsia and I was going to have a c-section on the Monday, but my waters went at 33 weeks 2 days and they had to do an emergency c-section. Joshua was born with polymicrogyria and lack of white matter of the brain making him blind. He has severe global delayed development. Jack has genetic problems the same as Josh and he has slight global delayed development and asthma, but they are both doing amazing.
Josh has the brain of a two year and is starting to walk. He has only two words . He can see most things now, it started of with him just seeing lights but now has pretty good vision. Jack is slightly behind developmentally, and has only three words, and has arfid eating problems now. They are both at special school but in different classes as Josh needs more help. They are both coming on amazingly. Josh has stopped his fits that he had every day and night and us off his medication. They both had jaundice at birth. They are both coming on so well and amaze me and the medical staff all the time.
