These charming twins, Poppy and Winnie McBride, were born in Lake Jackson, Texas.
But their story began before they were born, when they were still in their mother’s womb.
Their mother, Leah McBride, shared the story of the birth of her adorable little girls.
Her pregnancy was progressing normally. So the babies were a little over 31 weeks old.
But when the woman went to the doctor for a check-up, it was found that the heart of one of the fetuses, who would be named Poppy, began to beat slowly.
Since such a slow heart rate was dangerous for the unborn baby, the doctors decided to agree to a cesarean delivery.
When the twins were born, doctors learned that Poppy had no serous problems and that it was her sister Winnie who had underdeveloped lungs.
By studying this situation, doctors came to the conclusion that Poppy had sent a distress signal to save the life of her twin sister.
“We are sure that your little girl saved her sister’s life.
As she did not have a heart problem, in this way she called for help, because Winnie could no longer survive with her problem,” the doctors explained.
After their birth too, Poppy took care of her sick sister, as she did in their mother’s womb.
And now the sweet little girls are both healthy.
