'I was asked a devastating question by doctors after my twins had MCDA like Jesy Nelson's'


EXCLUSIVE: Leila Green, 41, from London was pregnant with triplets when she was told her identical twins had the same life-threatening condition as Little Mix star Jesy Nelson

During Leila's pregnancy with triplets, she was diagnosed with Monochorionic, Diamniotic (MCDA), meaning that two of her babies, her identical boys Jerry and Frankie, shared a placenta but were each in their own amniotic sacs. Discussing her own harrowing experience, Leila recounted to the Mirror the emotional ordeal during her pregnancy: "I had a panic attack in our anomaly scan, which lasted three hours as I was so desperate for them to tell me my babies were OK, and they wouldn't say anything the consultant came in at the end." Following her experience with motherhood, Leila founded the 'F*** mum Guilt Movement' - an online initiative offering a free community space for like-minded mothers who wish to stand up to societal pressures by choosing self-care over the weight of expectations.
