Joseph Barker and Luci Hall were thrilled to be expecting twins. The British couple’s excitement and joy soon turned to fear, however, when Hall went into early labor<\/a> at just 24 weeks into her pregnancy. “When I went into labour, Joseph and I just weren’t prepared at all. It all happened so quickly,” she said. “It was so early and we were so worried about what was going to happen to them. We didn’t know if they were going to survive, it was terrifying. When they were born they were both rushed straight to intensive care, I didn’t get to hold them or see them.”<\/p>\n

After taking just two photos, Barker was ushered away, and neither parent got to hold their new babies.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t even get upset about not getting to hold them because I was in shock. I couldn’t quite get my head around what was happening,” Hall said. “We got to see them three hours later and that’s when it really hit us. They were so tiny, you can’t even imagine a baby that small. It was really frightening.”<\/p>\n
