22 weeks and 5 days pregnant The woman gave birth to 1 pound of twins early

According to the British "Mirror" reported on February 12, a Pair of British twins came to this world after only 22 weeks and 5 days in their mother's belly, weighing only 1 pound at birth, and were the earliest premature twins born and survived in the Uk.

Jade and her husband Steve have been trying to have children, tried IVF and frozen embryo implantation 8 times, and finally successfully got pregnant last May. On October 26, Jade was born prematurely, and since the pregnancy was only 22 weeks, the doctor told them that the child might not be saved, and Jade was actually miscarrying. Not long after, the child was born, and after making a kitten-like cry, the doctor immediately intervened.

The twins were born arms that were not as big as dad's fingers, and neither diapers nor clothes fit properly. Now they are 16 weeks old, and although they have experienced health problems such as chronic lung disease and sepsis, they have undergone 6 surgeries, but they have reached 2.4 kilograms and are thriving and are expected to be discharged home.

Jade said she was proud of her children, who were little warriors and very brave. Previously, the uk's earliest surviving premature twins were born in 2018 and spent 22 weeks and 6 days in their mother's belly. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
