On Mother’s Day 2014, Sarah Thistlethwaite gave birth to twins by Caesarean section after a high-risk pregnancy. Jenna and Jillian Thistlethwaite were born clutching each other, holding hands in one of the cutest moments ever.
Jenna and Jillian were monoamniotic twins, which means they shared an amniotic sac in the womb. Pregnancies with this type of twins carry the risk of the umbilical cords getting tangled and cutting off the blood supply to one of the twins. Up until 24 weeks, monoamniotic twins have only a 50 percent survival rate.
Two years after a healthy birth, we are delighted to hear that they are doing great. Jillian turned out to be the bold one, while Jenna is more shy. Although they have been seperated surgically but one thing has been a constant since Day 1 — these two are incredibly tight.
