Premature twins born at only 27 weeks now thriving at home with family. Twins who were born very prematurely after their mother’s water broke at just 20 weeks’ gestation are now thriving one year later.
Alyssa Tran’s water broke the day before she was due to undergo a 20-week ultrasound during her pregnancy with twins. She had experienced preterm pre-labour rupture of membranes, which is when a baby’s amniotic sac breaks before 37 weeks’ gestation. The amniotic sac had ruptured for one of Alyssa’s twins, while the other remained intact.
