Coming Early, Just Like They Always Do

If carrying twins wasn’t hard enough, Jaqi was in for an even bigger surprise when the twins decided that they were coming earlier than expected. They came more than a month earlier on 7 July 2010, but they were born perfectly healthy.

The twins are a part of 11.4% of children who are born prematurely around the world. That’s roughly 15 million births worldwide, which in turn equates to about one in 10 of births. Of those 15 million, 80% percent of them are unplanned premature births. According to the Jaqi, the twins’ birth was announced, which is so like them.
