TheLittle Mixalum and musician boyfriendZion Fosteraddressed their Instagram followers in a vulnerable video on Wednesday, March 5, where she revealed that while they’re “excited” and “can’t believe” they’re expecting identical twins, there are related"complications" with the pregnancy.

“And at the moment, I am currently pre-stage TTTS, which istwin-to-twin transfusion, and I’m being monitored very closely; have to go be scanned twice a week,” she continued. “The common situation that we’re in at the moment is that every time I’ve gone, it’s got a little bit worse.”

In the meantime, Nelson and Foster “are just hoping and praying for the best.”

“We feel so blessed that we’ve been given twins,” she said, tearing up. “I’m just really sad that unfortunately, it [can] come with these complications, which we had no idea about. We honestly had no clue that this kind of thing [can happen] when you have twins.”
