Meet The Baby With Two Heads, Mother Gives Birth To Conjoined Twins. (See Photos)

A Bangladeshi mother has given birth to
conjoined twins - with two heads but one body.
The baby was born on Wednesday, November 11,
in Dhaka, Bangladesh by Caesarean section and
is currently receiving post-natal care at the
government hospital. A doctor at the Standard
Hospital of Total Healthcare where the baby
was born, Abu Kawsar said that tests showed the
baby has only one set of vital body organs but two heads.

"Except for having two heads, the newborn
has the rest of her organs and limbs like a
normal newborn." He said.

The baby’s condition could thus be an example
of the very rare congenital condition called
Dicephalic Parapagus where the baby is born with
two heads but only one body. Although, people
often think of a baby with the condition as a
single person with two heads, the baby is actually
a set of twins who share the same body and vital organs.

The baby's father Mia Jamal, a farm labourer
said he is happy mother and child are OK.
"She has two fully developed heads. She is eating
with two mouths and breathing with two noses.
Still, I thank Allah that she and the mother are
now ok." He told the news agency AFP.
