"We were told nothing could save our twins.
Then we turned to Winthrop."
Michelle was only 20 weeks into her pregnancy when she started to go into labor.
She and her husband rushed to the hospital, only to be told nothing could save
their twin babies.
"We were devastated," said Michelle. "We'd tried for years, I was ‹nally pregnant –
and then this. When I called my obstetrician he said there might still be a chance,
but I had to get to Winthrop-University Hospital – immediately."
Winthrop's Head of Maternal-Fetal Medicine o"ered to perform a special
surgical procedure the other hospital was not willing to try. It would prolong her
pregnancy and give the babies a chance.
"I had the procedure the next day. Then after ‹ve months of close monitoring by
Winthrop's Maternal-Fetal Medicine team, I had Vincent and Sophie: our miracle
twins. They would not be here today without Winthrop. It's as simple as that."
Winthrop has an extraordinary team of maternal-fetal specialists, the only
fetal surgery program on Long Island, a nationally recognized Neonatal ICU
and an unshakeable commitment to ‹ght for every life. To learn more, call
