The peculiar case of Ronnie and Teddy

Danielle was diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) at only seven weeks of gestation after the difference in size between the boys’ was noticed. Doctors warned the couple that their children were ­unlikely to make it because there was something wrong with how they were getting nutrients from a shared placenta.
