The story of Adiah and Adrial, the most premature twins in the world, moved the whole web and put the emphasis on a particularly debated topic in the medical field, namely the importance of providing greater assistance to premature births, even in situations as extreme as this.
The story of Adiah and Adrial one year after their birth
On March 4, 2022, what many would call a miracle took place: the world’s most premature twins were born. Adrial and Adiah Nadaraja were born 126 days before their expected due date, breaking the previous record of 125 days set in 2015 by Kambry and Keeley, twin Americans. The Guinness Book record for the most premature baby ever is held by little Curtis, born after just 21 weeks and 1 day of gestation and with a record weight of 420 grams.
A few days ago, they completed their first year of life, and thus, Adiah and Adrial became part of the Guinness World Record both for being born very early and for their weight: Adiah, in fact, weighed just over 300 grams, while Adrial weighed 420. Thanks to the help of doctors, Shakina Rajendram, the mother of the two babies, was able to complete the birth despite having to face complications that put a strain on the birth of her two children.
When the will to be born overcomes the complications of a difficult birth
It was Shakina herself who told, with an open heart, all the difficulties she had to face due to the preterm birth and the great concern of her husband Kevin. Shakina, in fact, had to go to Toronto to the “Mount Sinai Hospital”, which specializes in the birth of premature babies.
Once she arrived, her condition aroused much concern among the medical team, so much so that they communicated to Shakina that the chances of survival for the twins, given the premature timing, were really remote. The woman tried with all the strength she had in her body to postpone their birth as much as possible. However, the desire to come into the world was so strong that Adiah and Adrial, at midnight and fifteen minutes on March 4, 2022, faced life for the first time.
How are Adiah and Adrial today
Today, the twins are growing well and are living their childhood without any particular health problems. Adrial has had to face some health problems, but has always been monitored by premature follow-ups. Mom Shakina and dad Kevin are serene today because, despite the difficulties and concerns they have had to face, their family has returned to smiling.
