A mum whose premature twins were ''killing each other'' in the womb has spoken of her joy after their miracle recovery.<br /><br />Laura Watson, 29, was so worried she refused to buy matching clothing after being told her babies were unlikely to survive when they were diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).<br /><br />The condition causes abnormal blood flow between two babies, resulting in uneven development.<br /><br />She was flown from Northern Ireland to St George’s Hospital, London, for a specialised procedure designed to help evenly distribute blood flow and nutrients.<br /><br />Despite a successful operation her waters broke just three weeks later, at 23 weeks pregnant.<br /><br />Medics at The Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital, in Belfast, Ireland, were keen to delay the twins' birth for as long as possible to give them a ''fighting chance'' and admitted her for observation on August 23, 2022.<br /><br />Five weeks later, a scan showed the smaller girl twin had become dangerously anemic due to diminished blood flow.<br /><br />Surgeons performed an emergency c-section and delivered, baby girl, Meabh Weir at 1.08 pm, weighing 1lbs 6oz, at Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital on October 3, 2022.<br /><br />Her sister, Clodagh Weir, was born shortly after at 1.09pm, weighing 2lbs 8oz.<br /><br />The nine-month-old twins are now thriving after spending months in hospital recovering after birth.
