The story of Adiah and Adrial, the world's most premature twins, captivated the entire Internet and drew attention to a highly disputed topic in the medical field: the need of providing greater aid to premature newborns, even in such severe cases.
The tale of Adiah and Adrial one year following their birth.
On March 4, 2022, what many would consider a miracle occurred: the birth of the world's most preterm twins. Twin Americans Kambry and Keeley set the previous record of 125 days in 2015 when they were born 125 days before their original due date. Curtis, who was born after only 21 weeks and one day of gestation and weighed a record-setting 420 grams, holds the Guinness World Record for the most preterm baby ever.
A few days ago, Adiah and Adrial completed their first year of life, making them Guinness World Record holders for being born extremely prematurely and for their weight: Adiah weighed just over 300 grams, while Adrial weighed 420. Shakina Rajendram, the mother of the two infants, was able to give birth despite complications that complicated the birth of her children, with the assistance of specialists.
When the desire to be born triumphs over the challenges of a difficult birth.
Shakina herself recounted, with an open heart, all the challenges she faced as a result of her premature birth and her husband Kevin's profound concern. In fact, Shakina was had to travel to Toronto's "Mount Sinai Hospital," which specializes in the delivery of premature babies.
Once she arrived, her condition caused great anxiety among the medical staff, to the point that they informed Shakina that the twins' survival chances were extremely low due to their premature birth. The woman exerted all of her physical strength to delay their birth as much as possible. However, the yearning to enter the world was so strong that Adiah and Adrial faced life for the first time on March 4, 2022, at midnight and fifteen minutes.
How are Adiah and Adrial currently?
Today, the twins are healthy and growing well, and they are enjoying a carefree childhood. Adrial has had to deal with a few health issues, but he has always received timely follow-ups. Today, mother Shakina and father Kevin are at peace because, despite the challenges and worries they have encountered, their family has resumed smiling.
