Tragic mum to be and unborn twins die after she suffers seizure

A Tragic mum-to-be and her unborn twin girls were killed after she suffered an epileptic fit.

Pregnant Kirsty Walker, 31, collapsed at her home on Christmas Eve just eight weeks before her due date.

Despite paramedics desperately attempting an emergency caesarean section, all three sadly died.

Kirsty and her fiancé Kris Smith were putting the final touches to their Christmas festivities when she suffered the seizure in Thatcham, Berks.

Now her family are preparing for a triple funeral, with Kirsty's mum Debbie saying flowers will spell out "mummy" on the coffin all three will share.

Debbie said: "Kirsty used to call the babies her 'twinkle twins' because she loved anything pink and twinkly.

"She said if she was going to have girls she was going to call them Soraya and Regan, as they were both names of princesses.

"Three princesses have gone together to heaven now.

"Christmas was Kirsty's favourite time of year. 

I don't remember much about this Christmas, only pain.

"The pain and hurt we feel I cannot put into words."

Debbie said her daughter had showed signs of having epilepsy as a teenager and had stopped breathing during previous seizures.

Dad Adrian added: "These have been the toughest days of my life.

"The pain I have felt has cut me to the core. Something no one should feel, but 

as a family we have drawn strength from each other and together that are close to us.

"Kirsty meant the world to me and am thankful that I had 31 years to enjoy her company, She was so thoughtful of others, often putting them first. She was funny, often dizzy and beautiful."

Kirsty and Kris were die to be married next Christmas and Debbie added: "The funeral is going to be really hard but we want to give 

them a good send off.

"Both the twins will be in the same coffin as Kirsty because that is what she would have wanted. We are doing what we can to keep 

them together, but as three separate lives.

"We all were so looking forward to the arrival 

of the twins."
