A Canadian brother and sister born at just 22 weeks have been named the world’s most premature twins.
Adiah and Adrial Nadarajah were born 126 days or 18 weeks prematurely at Mount Sinai һoѕріtаɩ in Toronto, Ontario. They had a сomЬіпed weight of 1.6lbs (750grams).
Doctors said that if they had been born just an hour earlier then they would not have attempted to save the infants.
The children, who are now a year old and back at home in Ontario, were named the world’s most premature twins by Guinness World Records. The parents said that Adrial tends to be thoughtful, while Adiah is babbly and loves to be carried when she is taken on walks.
They overtake the previous record holders, twins born in Iowa back in 2015 who were 125 days early. A full-term pregnancy is usually 40 weeks.
