A woman in the UK has given birth to super rare twins 22 days apart in separate hospitals.according to a report new york postKayleigh Doyle, 22, became pregnant with perfectly healthy twins in October 2020 and didn’t know anything was wrong until she felt labor pains in March 2021. She had a normal delivery but baby Arlo was stillborn and doctors warned her the other baby might not survive either. The outlet further stated that Arlo was born on March 20, 2021, 17 weeks earlier.

“I knew all the risks that came with having twins. I even paid for a private doctor’s appointment because I was so worried about complications,” Ms Doyle told reporters postal.

“When I turned 22 and a half weeks, I was lying in bed, quite literally, experiencing the worst pain of my life. I wasn’t sure what was going on, so I went to the toilet downstairs and my water came out. Bleeding. “Broken,” she added.

Doctors said her first-born child died from placental blood clots.

“He looked like a normal baby. After I gave birth, the doctors sat me down and told me they didn’t expect ‘twin’ to survive – he would probably be born in the next few hours, Ms Doyle said while recalling the incident.

But Ms Doyle’s contractions stopped and she was sent home, Metro reported. The news came as a shock to her after the trauma of giving birth to her first child.

Two weeks after returning home with Astro, Kayleigh held Arlo’s funeral and the ordeal led to her training as a NICU volunteer. She now wants to help other parents in similar situations.
