"I am a momo twin - we were given a 1% chance of survival"
A woman who is one of the rarest types of twins in the world says she is grateful to be alive after doctors gave her and her sister a one per cent chance of survival. Hope and her sister, Faith Baxter, both 24, are Momo twins - monochorionic monoamniotic - identical twins who share a placenta and amniotic sac. Doctors told their parents that if they went to full term there was a chance one of the twins would not survive so they decided to induce them two months early. The twins spent six weeks in the NICU and were given a one per cent chance of survival. Hope said it was a "miracle" that both of them are alive and thank their parents every day for their decision to have them induced.
