A baby boy who died at 21 days old 'saved' his little twin sister and mum after pushing to be delivered at 24 weeks – now his twin is healthy and thriving. Breanna Seibel, 29, believes her son, Teddy, saved her life and that of his sister, Vivi, now nine months, after doctors were forced to deliver the babies early.
The twins were born 14 weeks early, via emergency c-section on April 23 2022, with Teddy arriving at 4.30pm weighing 1lbs 7oz, and Vivi at 4.31pm at 1lbs 6oz. Both babies were whisked to the neonatal unit at United Hospital, St Paul, Minnesota, US, with brain bleeds and had to be monitored around the clock.
Teddy had been looking healthier out of the two until he took a sudden turn for the worse. He died in his mother’s arms on May 14 2022 from a brainstem herniation, as a result of the bleed.
