Lauren, the fetalscopic laser surgery saved my twin girls 17 years ago. I ended up in Cincinnati to do the surgery. The only risk was going into preterm labor, which I did by the way, 26 days after surgery. I was do in March as well and ended having an emergency c section late November. Prayer is what got me through it all and the doctors and staff were so reassuring. The girls will recover immediately after surgery. My prayers are with you all. These babies are destined to be here safely, God will do it xoxoxo
Aman🙏🏼
Amen
Amen amen amen amen amen 🙏
That sound so encouraging. Glad your twins are doing well.
Amen 🙏🏻
Praying for you. My best friend had to have the surgery for her twins. She had it done in Ohio and got along great, and that was 16 years ago! Just think how much more advanced they are now! 🙏
This is a wonderful encouraging comment! I hope this brings comfort and peace to Mark and Lauren.
Thank you for a very encouraging comment.
Good to know. ❤
This is so encouraging to hear! Thanks for sharing
Oh Lauren this video broke my heart. You're so strong and such an amazing mom. I'm sure juggling your fears, your other children's needs and the logistics of everything you are just so overwhelmed. Sending you the biggest hugs, you will all be ok! Those girls are so blessed with a mom like you 🩷 thank you for sharing and trusting your youtube community with this journey.
I have had TWO friends with this. Both had successful surgeries and delivered healthy identical boys. There is hope ❤
My BFF from my neighborhood was pregnant at the same time as me with twins. She had twin to twin trans and the doctors were able to do the surgery.
I was already feeling a tad weepy this morning, and watching this just did me in. I felt the Lord saying to me, "Stop what you are doing and pray." I will lift you up in prayer and send this out to my church's prayer team. My mother's heart is feeling all the emotions you are going through. Wish you were coming to Seattle. 🤗 Please be sure and keep us updated. 🙏🙏❤❤❤
So calming to hear Lauren will be on your church's prayer team...I am alive due to those prayer warriors & God's Mercy & Grace....I hope all of us that are Christians will reach out & get Lauren on prayer teams....where able....💕
Sending all our love, prayers, and sprinkles of blessings. ❤ you all
Take a deep breath, Mama. God has you and the babies in His hand! My prayers for all of you!❤️❤️❤️
Bless you! The Lord will give you the care you seek! We are all praying for you and your babies!
hoping you and Mark are feeling the love and support as we circle around and hold you up !! thinking of your boys too, as they are impacted by all of this too... and those girls !! little troublemakers already 💞💞
I love this
Lauren if you only knew how many prayers I have sent up to the good Lord for you, Mark, those precious girls and the boys. You have become like family to me and I wait anxiously each day for an update. I pray God sends his precious healing arms to love , hug and support each of you through all of this until those girls are safely in your arms. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
The biggest hugs Lauren. The virtual world has their arms around you. It’s overwhelming for you all but one step at a time. Our hearts are with you all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so strong to be able to do a video while going thru all this. We all are pulling for you and the babies.. prayers🦋
😢 I really want to hug her. Just really Pray 🙏😊
You are brave and strong, you are doing what you can for your girls. Being monitored by your Dr, getting to all those appointments and prepping to get down to the lower 48...for a possible surgery. Gosh....I'm so incredibly impressed by your faith and strength.
Much ❤ from 🇨🇦
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
May the lord wrap his arms around those babies and safely bring them into this world. We pray for you momma and the babies 🙏 🙏 ❤
Amen
❤❤🙏
Amen!🙏
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lauren my twins are fraternal boys born at 27 weeks! However my whole pregnancy I bleed because my placenta separated! Every week I was going to the hospital because I was bleeding, it was so stressful but once they were born they just gained weight like crazy! The day after they were born they took the oxygen off of them so I am confident your girls will be ok!! Just stay positive and don’t stress!
Keeping you all in my prayers. As a Mom, grandma, & great-grandma, I wish I could just give you a huge hug and wipe away your tears, but I know that God will take good care of you and your beautiful girls. I hope your parents will be able to fly to Denver and meet up with you and Mark for added support for you both. Sending you all my love and prayers.
In Jesus' name, I pray that these baby girls are covered with your body and blood and surrounded by your angels. Amen 🙏🏽 ❤
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏🏻
Amen 🙏
Amen
Amen and Amen 🙏
Lots of prayers coming your way. 🙏🏼I didn’t realize that there is a surgery that can help. That’s promising. Praying for a miracle! 🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼They still do exist. Best wishes!
This was so emotional to watch. Lauren, I don't know what to say, but I will be keeping you and the twins in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Praying for you, Mark, the babies, your boys and family and the medical team that are taking care of you. Know that you have so much support out here!
Big hugs. I was given hard news at the 20 week mark as well with my pregnancy and it took a mountain of strength to persevere with a positive outlook to the end. Remember they feel everything you’re feeling, so hang in there, be strong, and you all will get through this with hopefully good news on the other side. Love

These girls are certainly keeping you all on your toes .. it's sure gonna be a story to tell them when they are older ... sending Positive thoughts and best wishes to you all from England
Hope you get a miracle! My niece just had twin to twin early this year, they did surgery for them in Canada. Girls were born at 28 weeks gestation, weighed 2.2 and 2.12. The girls are about 10 month old now and are both fine and healthy. You would never know they were preemies.
Sending lots of love from Northwest Florida! I and others are praying for you, those precious twin girls, your husband, sons, all the medical personnel you have and will encounter. My (paternal) twin girls are 23 this year despite several complications during and after the pregnancy. God is faithful. His word is true no matter what. Praying for peace in your heart and mind and for the ability for you to get real and restorative rest daily for you and your girls. ❤🙏
My prayers are with you. I know you are in God's hands. I know that you have that faith.
All my thoughts and prayers ❤️
Praying for your family and the precious babies you’re carrying with such hope and love. “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew you.” Praying for Gods Grace and Mercy.
I'm so sorry for the stress you're under. I will be sending loving thoughts and prayers your way for you, the babies and your boys! I cried right along with you this video. I wish there was something more I could do.
Lauren we are praying for you, your medical team in Colorado, the babies, the medical team in Alaska, and your sweet family. I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster. I do know that with your faith and belief in Heavenly Father you realize that He will see you through this. May God bless you and those babies.
You and your beautiful family are in my prayers 🙏
Oh Lauren, I got tears in my eyes at the beginning of this video! I stopped and said a prayer for you all! Praying for a safe trip to Denver for you and Mark. Praying for those precious babies. Thank you for sharing this journey with your fans. Praying for the boys as you will be in Denver. I’m sure they will be in good hands. May God watch over you during this time and possible surgery. 😇🙌
Lauren, you are doing everything you can for your baby girls. Also be kind to yourself too. It is a really tough time for you emotionally, even a normal pregnancy can be challenging at times let alone yours. I will think of you and your trip to Denver for the surgery and pray it has the outcome you all hope for. Warmest hugs from across the Pond in the UK.
Lauren, I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. Thank you for letting us share this journey ,no matter how hard it gets, with you. Prayers and love sent. ❤️

Lauren, I am praying for you and the baby girls. Texas has some of the best NIC units. I had my baby 5 weeks early. They were awesome. I had an infection in my uterus after a fall early in my pregnancy . I didn't get to see my son for 5 days because I was running a fever. I lost several babies, and this was very emotional.
There are so many people praying for you and your girl. God is with you.❤ our Lord Jesus Christ will see you through. Blessings to you and your family.😊🙏
Sending many prayers, hugs and love for you, Mark, and the boys.
It’s sad and sick that this video would be attacked by spammers! Don’t click on or reply to a spam message on this thread. As a fellow UA-camr I did try and report as many as I could to take it off our girl at this time. She is under enough stress and evil people trying to scam her supported is sick! You didn’t win anything for showing support!
youtube really needs to do something about these scammers/spammers!!!
Prayers lifted up for you, Mark, the girls and your sons! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Prayers filled with hope, miracles, love and hugs for you Lauren and Mark and all the boys!
Oh yeah lady I love ya’. Putting the war paint on. Prayers sent out for the girls and you all.
It was a relief seeing you calmer and more at peace before the third appointment. Hoping for a miracle! 💕

Continuing to pray for you all! Try your best not to project into the future. Take one moment at a time and be in it. NOBODY knows what the future holds. I am so GRATEFUL they caught this early and are so on top of things. You are in the BEST CARE!! I put your name on a Church's Prayer List. They have a Prayer Chapel and people go in around the clock to pray over the requests. Please KNOW that even at 2 am somebody is praying. You are deeply loved and NEVER alone.
