When the Ewoldt twins, of Dysart, Iowa, were born on Nov. 24, 2018, their simple arrival and survival was a miracle. The twins were born at just 22 weeks, after their mother, Jade Ewoldt, was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).
This extremely rare condition affecting identical twins, which involves the fetuses sharing blood vessels inside the placenta abnormally, can result in the death of one or both babies.
