The Siamese
twin babies, who each had their own heart, arms and legs were born weighing
2lbs 6oz at a hospital in Rajkot, Gujarat, eastern India but they share a face,
brain and were delivered by a Caesarean section.
Doctors
have confirmed that they only lived for six minutes following their birth at
Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Government Medical College four days ago. The mother
of the twins had a smooth pregnancy until her first ultrasound at seven months
where she was informed about the shocking condition of her babies.
Speaking
on the incredibly rare situation, Kirtan Vyas - an assistant professor in the gynaecology
ward of the hospital who operated on the mother, said medics already knew they
were unlikely to survive.
According
to Kirtan, their hospital has been active for 140 years an there’s only been
around three to four cases of conjoined twins. This case of conjoined twins was
however an even more shocking and rare one.
The woman
and her husband have now decided to let go & donate the body of the twins
to the government medical college for research.
