Our fetal experts can tell parents a lot about twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and treatment to come. One thing they can't often tell them: how they will feel during their journey with TTTS. 

That’s why we connected Nicole, who was previously treated for TTTS, with Alyssa, who was recently diagnosed.  

- Nicole was diagnosed with TTTS when she was 22 weeks pregnant. The next day, she underwent laser surgery to save her babies. Today, she and her husband Ari are enjoying raising their twin girls, Mila and Ciela.  

- Alyssa was recently diagnosed and underwent surgery for TTTS. Now, she and her husband Mark anxiously await what lies ahead as they count down the days to delivery.
