Former Bachelor star Vienna Girard took to Facebook on Sunday to announce “the hardest thing” she’s ever had to write.

The 31-year-old shared that after carrying twin daughters for 18 weeks, she suffered a miscarriage and lost both girls.

“The pain I feel, I would never want any mother to ever feel,” she writes.

After going in for an ultrasound on August 3, Vienna learned that one twin had more amniotic fluid than the other. It was the first sign of TTTS—twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. The condition occurs “when one twin takes more nutrients than the other,” she wrote.

Doctors said it appeared to have improved over the week. But the following evening, her water broke after the amniotic sacs ruptured.

“I spent the next two days in the hospital trying everything to save them.”

The former reality star had previously detailed her high-risk pregnancy, in which her twins were “monochorionic diamniotic,” meaning the girls shared a placenta and were more likely to compete for nutrients, resulting in TTTS.
