đŠ During my twin pregnancy ultrasound, the doctor froze, staring at the screen. Then he quietly said something that sent chills down my spine â words that changed everything.
Julia was a mother of six, already a seasoned parent, but nothing could have prepared her for what happened during her seventh pregnancy đ. She and her new husband, Alexander, were thrilled â twins! Or so they thought.
