32-year-old Talia Keats from Trowbridge, England, Wiltshire, claims complications began in the fourth month of pregnancy (17-I week), writes Lenta.ru report.

“We were discouraged from giving birth. When the waters had prematurely departed, I was warned that children could die at birth, ”she recalls.

However, the British continued to bear twins in spite of disappointing forecasts. On 16 April, at the 23 week of pregnancy, Keats gave birth naturally to Joe, who weighed 429 grams. His brother, 403-gram Ashley, was born through Caesarean section.

Newborns were urgently placed in the intensive care unit, where they stayed for several months.

“The kids stayed there for 129 days, and when they got stronger, they were transferred to the hospital closer to home,” says the mother of six. - Ashley was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. I do not really understand this, but both twins were born with chronic lung disease. All because they are premature. ”

“We had a difficult and extremely emotional stage in life. There is still a long way to go, says Keats. - We regularly go through examinations and move forward step by step. The boys just recently started smiling and laughing. ”

In August, the babies were sent home. Now Joe weighs almost 5 kilograms, and his twin brother Ashley - 3,6 kilograms.

“So far they cannot do without oxygen masks. But with each new day, life is getting better. They are worth all the trials we had to go through. I love them very much, ”said Keats.

In May, in the US state of California, doctors went out to the world's smallest newborn child. In December 2018, an American gave birth to a girl named Saby through Caesarean section, being six months pregnant (23 week). The baby's weight was 245 grams.
