A young mom in the UK tragically lost<\/a> her firstborn child and doctors told her to prepare to lose his preborn twin soon after. But she and the baby miraculously held on for 22 more days and the second twin was born alive.<\/p>\n

Kayleigh Doyle, age 22, was expecting twins in an otherwise healthy<\/a> pregnancy when her water broke at 22 weeks in March of 2021. The first twin born was Arlo, who tragically was stillborn. Doctors told Doyle to expect “twin two” to be born shortly after and said he would not survive either. However, Doyle’s second son was not born that day, and she was sent home to rest, according to the Manchester Evening News<\/a>. It is unknown why Doyle was sent home under such circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was aware of all the risks that came with having twins,\u201d she said. \u201cI even paid for private GP appointments because I was so worried about complications. When I hit 22-and-a-half weeks, literally, I was in bed and had the worst pain of my entire life. I wasn\u2019t sure what was going on, so I went to the toilet downstairs, and my waters broke.\u201d<\/p>\n
