TWINS who were born joined at the abdomen and separated a day later are celebrating their first birthday today.
Angela Romosa who is their mum was told Rosie and Ruby had a very slim chance of survival.
But despite the delicate operation at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital the sisters are now doing well and are “very happy and bubbly”.
Angela added: “It was quite a tough journey.
“It’s quite emotional thinking back, thinking what we must have been going through at the time. It was really tough.”
The 32-year-old, of Bexleyheath, south-east London, said it was “heartbreaking” when doctors told her that the girls had a very small chance of survival.
She added: “Every time we went for a scan we were worrying whether there was still going to be a heartbeat. The doctors weren’t making any plans to give birth to them"
“Then all of a sudden it was like: ‘OK, we need to make a plan because they’re still here, they are going to arrive. We need to make plans, where we will deliver and where we will go from here.’”
Angela, who is married to 37-year-old taxi driver Daniel, with whom she has a five-year-old daughter Lily, said she feared the twins would not see their first birthday.
“When I was pregnant I couldn’t see us getting this far,” she said. “I was taking each day as it came. Now I am over the moon.
“It’s so lovely seeing them doing normal things and being happy when you didn’t even expect to have them.”
awwww.. its really a miracle. They look so cute.
