Episode 82 - Chelsea's Story - Raising Conjoined Twins who Beat the Odds

Twins are amazing - I have twins, some of my good friends have twins - but this twin story is different because today's mama, Chelsea, has conjoined twins. Chelsea found out at her anatomy scan that her twin girls were conjoined, sharing the same pelvis and legs as well as several internal organs. Declining the termination that was suggested, Chelsea's daughters beat the odds that were stacked against them (the percentage of conjoined twins who live past birth is fairly low) to be born healthy and without any major medical issues. Chelsea opens up about the incredible journey her girls have traveled, but she also shares about some of the hard parts, such as hearing others say things that break her heart. Today, Callie and Carter are happy and healthy and although they are conjoined, they don't let it stop them - they may even use it to their advantage here and there when it comes to finishing homework!
