However, at 22 weeks Kristen suddenly broke down and became the source of work. The doctors tried to delay the birth, but they could only do it for 2 weeks. Brother Mika was born on February 14. He was only 24 weeks old and weighed 500 grams. This is the minimum threshold for the survival of premature babies, but the baby was able to survive.
