Incredible Moment Premature Twins Hold Hands

They were only a few hours old, but newborn twins Kristian and Kristiana were determined to face the world together after they arrived a little earlier than expected last week. In a touching video posted on Facebook by their mum Anthea Jackson-Rushford, the 2.2lb brother and sister, who were born 11 weeks early at Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne, Australia, clasp each other's hands to support each other.

Writing on Facebook, the twins' mother Anthea Jackson-Rushford posted an update: ‘Just informing our dear friends and family that Glen and I delivered our two little cherubs last night and they are doing fine!

‘They were eager to get here quite before their due date and they did exactly that!’
