Emergency in the Womb

Identical twin brothers, Conner and Cody Bambrough, are 21 weeks old - and battling each other for survival in the womb.

They have a rare and perilous condition that threatens both their lives before they are even born. The only chance of survival is a difficult and dangerous operation inside the womb itself, where success is far from guaranteed.

With exclusive access to pioneering foetal surgeon Professor Kypros Nicolaides, and using live surgical footage and specially commissioned 3D computer imagery, this programme follows the progress of the identical twins as they undergo high-risk surgery and, afterwards, on the precarious journey towards birth.
