Imagine going into labor, preparing for your
entire life to change. Most mothers know that
once their child is born, nothing will ever be the
same. But what would you do if you gave birth
to your newborn bundle of joy and looked down
to see that she had two heads?
That’s exactly what happened to this mother at
Cygnus JK Hindu Hospital in Sonipat, Haryana,
in northern India.
Urmila Sharma gave birth to the conjoined
twins, not even knowing she was expecting
twins.
She was too poor to afford an ultrasound before.
It was only two weeks before giving birth that
she learned about the possibility of having
twins.
The baby has two heads, two necks and two
spines but only one body.
The baby girls haven’t been named yet, and is
under close observation in the neonatal intensive
care unit. Doctors are unsure if they will survive,
but they are doing everything they can to help
the babies survive. Dr Shikha Malik, the doctor
who delivered the babies, said they are very
distressed but they are helping in any way they
can.
Please keep these precious babies in your
thoughts. Although it is rare, conjoined twins can
survive.
