Conjoined twins

This is such a heart breaking thing for the family! I mean, it''s terrible having to deal with conjoint twins. You have to have lot of money to go for the surgery if at all that can make a better living for the two. To top that society comes with its taboo and stigma. Sad!! I work in a hospital and come across many parents who have kids with mal developed vales or holes in the heart. Sometimes the babes are born blue! In some cases, nothing could be done. Money has its limitations also. It doesn't work after a certain stage. I ask the families to give as much love and support as they can. That's the only way we can help the baby leave this world happily.

Hello doryvien! I actually share the same pain with the mother of the conjoined twins. It is really excruciating for somebody knowing that her child couldn't have a normal life like any other kid. Myself had gone through this agony at the early stage of my pregnancy a few months back when the doctor had announced that I am having a discordant fetal growth. One twin is suspected of a genetic aberration which means he or she is having a down syndrome or a chromosomal disorder. The thought had haunted me for quite some time that I never want to discuss it even with my husband. I was pondering how life can be so cruel, at one time it made us so excited having fraternal twins for my first pregnancy, the next time so depressing. But the reality of life somehow had ease the pain, eventually I was conditioned of the fact that still we are lucky having the other twin normal and if it is really god's will then we have to accept it. Several months after, the doctor found out the abnormal twin to be vanishing. My heart cried out but my husband had told me "if this is the best thing to happen then we should be grateful, we should lose the baby now or bring him out to the world only to suffer, at least we still have the other twin normal and this is great!". The lesson here is God will always find a way for the best thing to happen. As for the conjoined twins it would be better to leave them untouched if there is no way to separate them, let nature take its course....and HIS will be done....

I really feel for the family. They must have lots of feelings felt and that can include worry, pain, fearful, very sad and many more. I am not an expert on health matters like this, but what I think is the right way to approach this is to consult closely with the doctors in question and to gain lots of opinions. Decisions can be crucial and it can affect or not..I hope the family is strong to pull this through.

Their is little hope for survival with this type of conjoined twins having two head in one body. i have seen a lot of conjoin twins but only their flesh are the on attach in their body like the head or the side body and they are lot of success surgeries. This is really a rarest types of conjoined twins..sad to say the family must choose to sacrifice the other twins to let the other twin survives. It is hard to grow and live with two head..life may be both difficult for them..my sincerest prayers for their recovery from emotional distress and financial help ..my wish will pour abundantly..
