An
Australian woman has miraculously given birth to conjoined twins with
one body and two heads despite doctors initially telling them to
terminate the pregnancy.
Renee
Young and her partner Simon Howie, of Tregear in Sydney’s west,
welcomed their daughters on Thursday six weeks before they were due. The
couple, who found out via an ultrasound that the twins they were
expecting was in fact one child with two symmetrical faces and two
brains connected by the one brain stem, said doctors were shocked by the
girls’ exceptional progress.
