In a heartfelt post on Instagram and Facebook on November 26, Tini wrote, “This isn’t the post I ever imagined I would share once the twins arrived. Unfortunately, earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A). We made it to almost 36 weeks, so close to bringing the girls to term, but I experienced a placental abruption and we lost our sweet girl.” She expressed immense grief but also relief that her surviving twin daughter was born safely and was “doing really good and breathing on her own.” Tini mentioned she would be taking a break from social media to mourn and heal.

Through her post, the family shared black-and-white hospital photos holding baby Arya. They also said they will step back from social media for now to grieve. “Not sure for how long, but I promise I will be back,” Tini wrote. In her message, she promised that Arya will always be celebrated and her twin sister will grow up knowing she had a beautiful twin sibling.

What is Placental Abruption?

Placental abruption is a serious condition where the placenta detaches partially or completely from the uterus wall before delivery. This can reduce or block oxygen and nutrients to the baby and cause severe bleeding in the mother.

According to the Mayo Clinic, this condition can lead to complications such as premature birth, growth restrictions for the baby, or stillbirth. Early detection and medical intervention are critical, but unfortunately, placental abruption can happen suddenly and unpredictably.
