TTTS Foundation

The TTTS Foundation has a fundraising event called the Matthew and Steven TTTS Walk for the Babies. The walk just happens to take place today - the same day as Chloe and Leila's original due date!

The TTTS Foundation and the founder, Mary Slaman-Forsythe, in particular, were a HUGE support for me during our fight against TTTS. Mary is an amazing woman who used her grief to help future TTTS mothers with information and support that cannot be found anywhere else.

TTTS is a very serious disease that only affects monochorionic twin pregnancies. That is, identical twins sharing one placenta. If you know someone pregnant with twins please make sure they find out from their doctor if their twins share a placenta. Send them to the TTTS Foundation Website and contact the foundation. They are a high risk pregnancy and will want to do everything they possibly can to keep their babies safe.
