Woah! A 25-year-old Brazilian mother gave birth to a baby that has two heads!
The mother did not have a scan during her pregnancy and found out her child had two heads only a few hours before giving birth.

The hospital’s director Claudionor Assis de Vasconcelos said to Brazil’s O Povo newspaper:
“When doctors scanned her they realised that the baby had two heads and that a normal birth would be a great risk both for mother and baby. The caesarean took an hour because the baby was sitting down. Despite all the problems we have as a small interior hospital we managed to save both mother and baby, which was our aim. And for us it was a great surprise to find out that the child was in really good health.”

Surprisingly, doctors are saying the baby is in perfect health even though all organs below the head are shared.
The baby has taken an air ambulance to see a specialist who will conduct further tests to ensure that the baby is healthy.
It’s amazing that the delivery of the baby went well and that the baby is also healthy. Much credit is due to the team of doctors who participated in this procedure.
