Woman Gives Birth To Conjoined Twins With Three Arms

An Indian woman gave birth to conjoined twins with two heads and three arms. As per the details, such children are born one in a million.

The conjoined twins are born to a poor Indian farmer family, Ambika and Umakant Parida- through a c-section at a private hospital in Odisha’s Kendrapara district.

The conjoined twins are joined at the chest and abdomen, a condition that is medically known as Siamese twins.

A pediatrician posted at the District Hospital in Kendrapara Debashish Sahoo said “There are very rare chances of such children surviving and leading a normal life.”

The doctor added that “the newborn was eating with two mouths and breathing with two noses”.

The newborn’s condition had worsened for a while but doctors said they were soon stable.
