As a pregnant teen, I was scared, of course, but was nowhere as scared as I was when we found out they were twins! They didn’t have any high-risk appointments for me which worried me because I had always heard that twins were high risk. At 22 weeks, we went to have my gender reveal ultrasound done.

When this happens, it means one twin gets too much blood while the other doesn’t get enough causing a difference in color at birth. I was very emotional and depressed.
