Adia and Adrial's mother, Shakina Rajendram, went into early labor at just 21 weeks and 6 days pregnant, her second attempt to have offspring after a miscarriage . The doctors told Rajendram that her children were “not viable with zero chance of survival”, but the parents did not lose hope. The couple moved to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, where there is a specialized neonatal intensive care unit.

In Toronto, doctors told Shakina Rajendrum that if the babies were born before 22 weeks, they could not be helped, and this forced the mother to try her best &ldquo ;keep babies” ignoring heavy bleeding when she went into labor.

Eventually, her waters broke 15 minutes after midnight, by which time the babies had already been in the womb for two hours more than 22 weeks.
