Conjoined Twins


The two-headed conjoined female twin babies in a hospital on May 9, 2011 in Suining city in southwest China's Sichuan province. The twins were born on May 5, 2011 by caesarean. Two previous ultrasound scans in September and February both reported a single embryo to her mother Bao Qiaoying, a migrant worker, until a check on May 3rd found it had two heads. The parents wanted to abort the fetus but it was already too late. The hospital says they are China's first reported two-headed conjoined twin babies, born 4.05kg together.
