After resting at home for three weeks, it was clear to doctors that at any point, Edonna could give birth. The Bermuda hospital could not accommodate the Bean’s twins so the mother was airlifted to IWK Health Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, which specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
On November 25, Emyr was born at just 1 pound, 15 ounces, two weeks after Edonna was admitted. After that, the new mom’s contractions subsided and twin B (Esai) appeared to be happy staying put. “He was relaxing you know playing and just having himself a good old time with the extra space. It was wonderful,” Edonna explained to CBC. It was valuable extra time according to Dr. Michiel Van den Hof who said, “When you’re at 26 or 27 weeks every single day counts and so that extra period of time, a week, 8 days, that actually was extremely beneficial for that baby.”
Doctors suspected that Edonna could have an infection from keeping Emyr’s placenta in her womb. The medical team decided to proceed with a caesarean section and Esai was born weighing 2 pounds, 7 ounces, eight days after his twin brother on December 3. The twins are reportedly doing well in the IWK neonatal intensive care unit and are lying facing each other in incubators placed side-by-side. Doctors cannot say when the babies will be able to leave and return to Bermuda, but preemies tend to stay in the hospital until after their due date which would be in early March. The new parents are incredibly appreciative of the hospital and staff who helped with the births and Edonna said, “When doctors in Bermuda said, ‘No.’ God said ‘Yes,’ and when I sit back and I think about my sons I’m just so grateful.”
