Chinese girls born in single body with 2 heads
-
So sad to see this, god bless!

Since the parents r poor, I supposed the mother never go for regular check up, hence she didn’t know that she was having a baby with 2 heads. If she knew from the beginning I think she won’t be keeping the baby.

As poor farmers, they probably do not have access to prenatal care. Maybe not even have a midwife at the delivery unless something is wrong.
It’s very sad to see babies born in such a way. Seperation is impossible as they share a body. How is the doctor going to choose who to give the body/organs to?
This is a really unfortunate case. I’m sure no one wants this to happen.
& in China, people are not as open minded or open to special needs kids as in US. In US, we commonly see disabled people living normal lives, complete with spouse & kids. But in China, they will be shunned and ostracized.
Looking long term, the girls might have a lot of other complications when they grow up. I hope they won’t be exploited but treated with love and care, just like any child deserves. -
yaman my heart sank when i saw this.

They went for pre-natal scanning but the doctor didn't discover that there were two heads. the explanation given was that maybe the scanning only has the side view and they couldn't see both heads.
That is why I feel that the doctors should always be vigilant and intelligent and they should not make assumptions in their scanning and analysis. Every patient is different. -

I'm :? over that explanation because from my pre-natal scan experience, I can't imagine what they meant by just doing a side view. Becos usually for the scan, the doc or person scanning would want to make sure can see 2 legs and arms and later the spine, so really :? about that explanantionRed_Snow:

From one side view, it appeared that the foetus has one head only and it never occur to the doctor that there are two legs, two arms...one body but.......TWO HEADS.WeiHan:

Whatever the excuse....the doctor is just unprofessional and blur sotong. -
but suppose the other way round … if the doc has seen 2 Heads but mom already in advanced stage pregnancy, aborting is also very dangerous and risky ? The mother’s health is at risk too … unless the 2 Heads are spotted in early pregnancy stage, then not so risky.

dun understand ... scientifically, how can there be 2 Heads ?
bewildered :? -
are they still alive?
