A Utah woman has died of a rare heart condition, just nine days after she gave birth to twins.
The twins, who were about six weeks premature, were sent to the neonatal intensive care unit to get stronger, said Hughes’ father, Brian Hodson.
Hughes and her husband, Sam Hughes, also 23, named the twins Hudson and Georgia and visited them in the NICU, eager to bring them home.
The World Health Organization defines maternal deaths as those that take place during pregnancy or within 42 days after delivery.
Hodson said he hopes the twins will grow up knowing how much their mom adored them.
