Nat chats with Genese, a mom of twins whose 5-week-old twins were born at 27 weeks gestation due to an incompetent cervix and Selective Intrauterine Growth Restriction (sIUGR). sIUGR is a condition that occurs when monochorionic twins share unequal portions of the placenta. Her twins are still growing in the NICU.
