‘Like one in 2 million’: Mom says rare twins with Down syndrome are ‘my little gems’

Rare twins with Down syndrome prove their beauty, shutting down critics. Twin pregnancies are uncommon, with only 33 out of every 1,000 births being twins. Identical twins occur in about 3 to 4 out of 1,000 births.

Savannah Combs, 23, joyfully anticipated twins but learned they both had Down syndrome, which is rare. She knew some would judge her family due to her illness and the twins’ condition. But for Savannah, their uniqueness is their beauty. She shared her postpartum journey on TikTok with Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, her twin daughters.

Savannah faced harsh criticism, with some suggesting she should have aborted her children. She chose to keep them, cherishing every prenatal milestone. Despite being born two months early and spending time in the NICU, the twins, mono-di twins with Down syndrome, are thriving.
