Mom of rare twins with Down syndrome shows how beautiful they are in spite of critics

Twin pregnancies are still extremely rare, even though their frequency increased by 72% between 1980 and 2018.Approximately 33 newborns per 1,000 are twins.

What is the probability of having identical twins? Approximately three to four identical twins are born for every 1,000 births. Consequently, once more, not very common.

Savannah Combs, 23, was overjoyed to learn that she was expecting twins. She later learned that they are both affected by the uncommon disease known as Down syndrome.

Of course, the knowledge was upsetting. Because of her illness and the circumstances surrounding her children, Savannah and her husband Justin Ackerman were aware that some people would think less of them.

Savannah, though, thinks that’s part of what makes them so beautiful.

 

“They’ve been my little gems, but what they have is extremely rare,” the woman remarked.

Middleburg, Florida native Savannah McKenli Ackerman and her children, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, were well-known immediately after she shared videos of her postpartum experience on TikTok.

Savannah said in a video that she was told to abort her children because they wouldn’t survive.

She made the decision to keep them and give them a try.
