"Parents' Experiences: Fetal Surgery While Pregnant"

Two families share their emotional experiences of undergoing fetal surgery while pregnant to treat conditions such as spina bifida, twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, and hydrops fetalis. Fetal surgery is a procedure performed on an unborn baby in utero and can be lifesaving in certain cases. The surgery varies depending on the condition, ranging from minimally invasive procedures to more complex open repairs. While there are risks involved, such as preterm birth, the families express gratitude for the surgeries that have given their children a chance at a better quality of life.
