Mum Paris Martin was told to 'expect the worst' after her twins were born extremely premature
A Manchester mum who believes her identical twin girls could be the most premature surviving twins in the UK has spoken of her joy as her babies are finally able to come home.
But after nearly five months in hospital, doctors have given little Rhayah the green light to go home - with Rhemie 'not far behind' her sister."I'm so excited," Paris told the Manchester Evening News. "But I do feel a bit nervous! I think they are the youngest surviving identical twins in the UK." "They had to be incubated straight away," she said. "But I remember holding them for the first time. Rhayah was pink and Rhemie was white."
"I always had hope from the beginning," she said. "You just hope and pray for the best. When they first started to feed, even though it was by tube, I thought yeah...they're going to be okay."
