Malaysian Shakina Rajendram, 35, who has given birth to the World’s Most Premature and Lightest Twins (according to the Guinness World Records) hopes that her experience, and the acknowledgement, will augur well for other parents of premature babies.

“Receiving not one but two Guinness World Records has come as a complete surprise to us. We’re very grateful for these records, but beyond that, we’re excited to be able to use this platform to advocate for other premature babies, especially 22-week or less, to be considered viable and for more hospitals to save them,” says Shakina.
