According to Guinness World Records, the pair are both the most premature and lightest twins ever born
For expectant parents Shakina Rajendram and Kevin Nadarajah, the doctor’s words were both definitive and devastating: Their twins were not “viable.” “Even in that moment, as I was hearing those words come out of the doctor’s mouth, I could still feel the babies very much alive within me. And so for me, I just wasn’t able to comprehend how babies who felt very much alive within me could not be viable,” Rajendram recalled. Still, she knew that there was no way she would be able to carry to term.
These risks and setbacks are common in the lives of micropreemies. Dr. Prakesh Shah, the pediatrician-in-chief at Mount Sinai Hospital, said he was straightforward with the couple about the challenges ahead for their twins. He warned of a struggle just to keep Adiah and Adrial breathing, let alone feed them. The babies weighed little more than a can of soda, with their organs visible through translucent skin.
