For 33 days, Katrina Weynberg was separated from her newborn twins by a hospital floor. They’re 33 days she’ll never get back.

After becoming pregnant for the first time in 2021, Katrina was excited. But that was soon overshadowed by anxiety after she found she was having twins who shared one placenta, which carries a high risk of complications.
