I tried to leave the room, with my trousers still rolled down and gel still smeared across my stomach. This couldn’t be happening.

Clare with her husband holding her premature baby Lying on the examining table, I gasped as the sonographer smeared cold gel on my stomach. Then, as the grainy picture appeared on the screen beside us, I held my breath. This wasn’t my first ultrasound. At this point in June 2007, I was eight weeks into my second pregnancy. But whereas before I had prayed just to hear a heartbeat, this time I was praying there would only be one.

I felt numb and struggled to relate to other parents who had enjoyed easy pregnancies and labours. If I saw twins, I had to cross the road. It was too painful to watch what should have been my life. And then I discovered I was pregnant. Having conceived naturally this time, I should have been elated, but all I felt was terror. Terror that it would be twins again and that history would repeat itself.
