#1 Pregnant Mom Thrilled Until News From Doctor
After discovering she was pregnant with twins, Kate was informed by doctors that her babies were in a stressful situation called, Monoamniotic, or "MoMo," and were unlikely to survive. She was then hospitalized for weeks. Her following story and Facebook photos have since gone viral.
#2 A Pregnancy Condition, Called 'MoMo'
MoMo is a rare condition where twins in a mother's womb have no dividing membrane. Their umbilical cords wrap around them as they grow. Medical doctors give these babies 50-70% chance of survival. Kate and her husband were fortunate and after 32 weeks welcomed the arrival of the baby girls through cesarean.

#3 MoMo Twins Are Emotionally Very Close
Twins who survive as MoMos are known to be the closest of twins because of how entwined they are inside the womb due to their umbilical cords twisting and turning around them, keeping them so close together, they're almost physically joined.
#4 Image of The Twins' Umbilical Cord
The twins' braided umbilical cords were examined, and the doctors were amazed the babies had survived the pregnancy and weren't miscarriaged. The entanglement was more severe than previously thought and had a knot at one point.
