A teenage mother has given birth to a baby with two heads leaving many doctors and others in real shock.
The baby born with two heads
Many were left in shock after a 20-year-old mum gave birth to her son weighing 5lbs 7oz on Monday with two heads. But before anyone could catch a glimpse of the baby, the parents had discharged him and raced home.
According to Dailystar, Dr Jaiprakash Narayan at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College has revealed more details, he said: "A baby boy with two heads was born yesterday in a healthy state.
"The mother completed her pregnancy full term and was doing well post surgery but the baby suffered breathing issues."
Dr Jaiprakash deliberated whether to operate on the small baby but eventually decided it was too difficult.
He added: "The operation is possible in some cases of conjoined twins but here it was nearly impossible.
"Despite having two pairs of all of their internal organs they were all trapped in one body, with only one pair of arms and legs. You cannot separate such children."
The baby was kept in the intensive care unit but despite the risks and warnings by the hospital staff, the couple decided to leave and take the miracle baby home. The baby died after 32 hours, local reports say.
The couple are now coming to terms with the loss of their first baby and staying close to family members.
