Photos: Mother in India gives birth to conjoined twins (One body, Two heads)

                                   Conjoined: The baby, born via C-section and weighing 7lbs 7oz, has two heads, two necks and two spines - but only one body
A mother in India gave birth to a baby girl with two heads yesterday morning. Urmila Sharma gave birth to conjoined twins via C-section and weighing 7lbs 7oz, has two heads, two necks and two spines but only one body.

Urmila and her husband Subhash, 32, who have one other daughter, were too poor to have an ultrasound during the pregnancy so complications had gone unnoticed.


Conjoined twins who share a single body have dicephalic parapagus - an extremely unusual form of conjoinment.
Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus twins.






Fears: The baby's mother gave birth to conjoined twins in Haryana, northern India, yesterday morning - but doctors fear the chances of survival are slim


Wait: The baby girl, yet to be named, is under close observation in the neonatal intensive care unit
