SAD NEWS: 49ers’ key player and his wife lose twin kids after giving birth…..

Morgan Goodwin speaks out to PEOPLE about the loss of her twin sons with Marquise Goodwin, almost a year after

the death of their prematurely born son.

“Then baby B came out. “He was still breathing,” she recalls. “He was probably breathing for about 30 minutes

before he passed away.”

Morgan tells PEOPLE that the boys were born after her water broke prematurely, requiring physicians to remove her

previously implanted transabdominal cerclage in order to deliver the infants, who did not survive.

Morgan and Marquise announced their loss in January, saying in a video posted on their YouTube channel that

Morgan had painful contractions and the twins died owing to complications.

Morgan now tells PEOPLE that she “stayed with my boys all those days” she was in the hospital after the traumatic

event, where she was watched and given antibiotics for three days after doctors noticed a jump in her blood pressure

and fever.

“I’d be with them the entire time they were in my room. “The entire time,” says the athlete. “I let them go back to get

dressed, take pictures, and be measured, and then they brought them back. But I had them the entire time we were

in the room.
