TTTS is usually diagnosed by ultrasound between 14 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. In severe cases, one baby is bigger and is overloaded with too much blood and fluid (this is the “recipient twin”). It also has a large amount of amniotic fluid around it. The other baby is smaller, has decreased blood volume and has only a small amount of amniotic fluid around it (this is the “donor” twin). TTTS can be mild or severe, depending upon how badly the babies are affected.
