World's most premature twins celebrate first birthday - after overcoming 0% survival odds

Born 126 days early, on March 4, 2022, Adiah Laelynn and Adrial Luka Nadarajah, from Ontario, Canada, became the most premature twins in the world, beating the previous record of 125 days held by Keeley and Kambry Ewoldt. Their mother Shakina Rajendram went into labour four months early, 21 weeks and five days to be precise, and was told her twins had a "0% chance at survival".

At the time, doctors told Shakina that her pregnancy was "not viable" and that all doctors would be able to offer was "comfort care", whereby the babies would be placed on Shakina as they passed away.

One year on, and the Guinness World Record-breaking twins have just celebrated their first birthday, and are still continuing to exceed all expectations.
