As reported by <a href=\"http:\/\/fox2now.com\/2014\/10\/14\/woman-gives-birth-to-rare-twins-without-knowing-shes-pregnant\/\">Fox News<\/a> in St. Louis, Dr. Jennifer Krupp of Perinatal Center in Iowa, says that less than one percent of all twins are monoamniotic (mono-mono) and those that are have only a 50\/50 chance at survival due to complications including cord entanglement. The risk of one or both twins dying is significant according to Dr. Krupp.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, women who are pregnant with mono-mono twins are admitted to the hospital around 24 weeks gestation so they can be monitored and the babies can be checked several times a day to ensure both are safe and doing well. Magnani had no prenatal care at all until she went to the walk-in clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still trying to process. It\u2019s crazy how high risk mono-mono twins can be, and how good they\u2019re doing now, it\u2019s really a blessing,\u201d Magnani told Fox. \u201cThey\u2019re both just little miracles, it could have been so many things that went wrong that didn&#8217;t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The girls, named Ava and Anna, were born via C-section and both are doing well. Though they will spend a few weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for observation, doctors expect them to be home soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Shelby Magnani went to a walk-in clinic with stomach pains, she was completely unprepared for the great news that was coming.
