The ITV soap's Chesney Brown actor is set to welcome his third child with wife Briony and were expecting twins
Coronation Street star Sam Aston has revealed he and his wife are expecting their third child together. The actor and his yoga teacher wife have described the news as 'bittersweet' as they revealed they were expecting twins before they lost one of the babies to 'Vanishing Twin Syndrome.'
"Will the living twin always wonder, 'What if? and will they feel lonely?' We found ourselves questioning what could have been, while feeling grateful for what we’ve got." Briony explained that their sad loss of one of their babies was the result of 'Vanishing Twin Syndrome', a condition in which one of the babies stops growing and the mother’s body then absorbs the embryo and tissue. The midwife discovered Briony had been expecting non-identical twins - developing in two separate amniotic sacs with their own placentas- after locating the lost twin’s remaining amniotic sac during the scan.
"At first, you’re thinking, ‘What would it have been like to have twins? Would we have had one of each, a boy and a girl?’" he said. "Like Briony says, it’s definitely bittersweet, but we just feel very grateful that the other baby is absolutely fine."
