Despite a 72% rise in chance between 1980 and 2018, twin pregnancies remain unusual. Twins are born in around 33 out of every 1,000 births.

What are the odds of having identical twins? On average, three to four identical twins are born out of every 1,000 births. So, once again, not common.

Savannah Combs, 23, was ecstatic when she found out she was carrying twins. She then learned that they both had Down syndrome, which is also unique.

Naturally, the information was unpleasant. Savannah and her husband, Justin Ackerman, were aware that some people would criticize them because of her condition and the status of her children.

But Savannah thinks it’s the same thing that makes them so lovely.

Savannah, a Middleburg, Florida resident, shared videos of her postpartum journey with her children Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman on TikTok, and the videos quickly went viral.

In one of her videos, Savannah stated that she was urged to terminate her children because they would not live.

She chose to retain them and give them a chance.

“Every [prenatal] appointment they had while they were alive was a blessing to me,” Savannah said.

Her husband was away at boot camp when she discovered they both had Down syndrome.

Savannah was 29 weeks pregnant when she was brought to the hospital, where she gave birth to twin girls. On May 12, 2021, identical twin girls, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, were born.

Because they were born two months early, the twins had to spend a few weeks in the NICU before returning home.

“They’re called mono di twins, meaning that they had their own sacs, but they shared the same placenta, meaning that they were going to be identical,” she went on to explain.

“Mo di twins are extremely uncommon.” When you add Down syndrome to the mix, it’s one in every two million.”

Despite having a rare ailment, they are just like any other child, according to Savannah.

“They have emotions.” They have a heart that beats. They know how to communicate. They understand how you do things. “They’ll get there,” she promised.

“As I previously stated, they may be a step behind, but they will complete it. I’ve discovered that these youngsters are feisty and cheerful little beings.”

Savannah offers great TikTok updates as each child continues to meet their milestones.

“I’m going to let them know that they’re just like us, and they’re going to get there as long as they put their minds to it.”

Despite this, some individuals feel obligated to criticize Savannah and her family. As a result, the young mother was obliged to reply to some incredibly harsh people on social media.

“I wouldn’t want those babies; if mine came out like that, they’d be straight up for adoption,” one woman wrote to the mother.

Savannah, on the other hand, had the perfect retort, which she shared on Facebook.

“I said, ‘Thank goodness they weren’t born to you and were born to me.'” God understood what he was doing when he gave these infants to the proper parents who would adore them no matter what.”
