New Blog Addresses Medical Issues with Twin Pregnancies
If your twins were affected by TTTS, you might be interested in the new blog: Miracles of Multiples at http://miraclesofmultiples.blogspot.com/. Founder Karen Moise is a nurse coordinator at the Texas Children's Fetal Center at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas. She also works with expectant moms of multiples and their doctors to provide the best plan of care possible through their new Program for Multiples. Her blog is a great source of information and support for parents with TTTS and complicated twin pregnancies.
