AceShowbiz - Vienna Girardi has lost her chance to become a mother. "The Bachelor" alum suffered a miscarriage after 18 weeks, causing her to lose her twin daughters. Vienna took to Facebook to share the heartbreaking news on Sunday, August 13.
"This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write," she began. "On Aug 3rd, I went in for an ultra sound bc the Perinatologist notice one of my twins had more fluids than the other which was the first sign of TTTS (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome) this is when one twin takes more nutrients than the other. They said that it did look like it had improved over the last week though."
"Unfortunately, that was not the case and that evening my water broke due to the amniotic sacs rupturing. I spent the next 2 days in the hospital trying everything to save them," she continued. "The doctors had warned me that if I did not go into labor and deliver the babies, I was taking the chance of risking my own life and causing an infection in my uterus but they could not survive at only 18 weeks."
Vienna explained that "there was a very slim chance under 5|percent| that the babies could survive." She continued, "My little angels went to Heaven on Aug 5th and I was rushed into the OR for emergency surgery and was in the ICU for 4 days."
Jake Pavelka's ex-fiancee revealed that she made "the hardest decision I have ever had" and let the daughters become subjects of research. "I don't know why this happened and I pray the Lord gives me strength to understand why he needed my little girls," she wrote. "After days of laying in bed heart broken and trying to piece what happened back together a doctor asked me if I would consider donating my little girls to science so they can also understand why this happens and be able to save another women who has twins with TTTS."
"RIP My Sweet Angels. Your mommy will never forget you and I loved you both with my entire heart," she said, before concluding, "I Thank you all for your support and prayers but I would appreciate it if at this time everyone can respect my privacy and allow me to grieve."
