Helen Hudson hopes to raise awareness for World Prematurity Day after losing on of her twins due to complications
A mum has shared her emotional pain after her daughter was born without a heartbeat, hoping to raise awareness on World Prematurity Day.
Emmeline was finally able to come home from the hospital on World Prematurity Day 2021 and is now thriving healthily with the family now looking forward to enjoying a wonderful Christmas together. Helen lives in Huddersfield with her husband, Chris, 37, a deputy headteacher, as well as their two children, Ted, four, and Emmeline, 18 months.
Twin to twin transfusion syndrome is a prenatal condition in which twins share unequal amounts of the placenta's blood supply, causing the two foetuses to grow at different rates. “Both twins were very poorly and Emmeline was the more poorly one at that point, she was even described as ‘pre-terminal’," Helen said.
Unfortunately, there were no options left, and the doctor had to deliver the heart-breaking news. Helen said: “She was already far too poorly and further intervention would risk Emmeline’s life too.” After a long 18 hours, Helen was finally able to meet her daughter. “She was wheeled into my room in an incubator as she was about to be transported to a different hospital with specialist care.
In October 2021, Ted came down with a bad cold which Emmeline caught, causing anxiety among the family. “It was the start of a nightmare," Helen said. Emmeline was admitted into intensive care. "I had no idea where I was going to stay, at first I thought I would have to pay for a hotel.
