When Anita Tiwari, 28, from Uttar Pradesh,
India gave birth to a two a headed baby boy,
(co-join twins) doctors didn't expect him to
survive for long but he defied them to live for
thirty hours. Soon after his birth at the Star
hospital, crowds trooped to the hospital to
catch a glimpse of what they believed to be a
'miracle baby'.
Soon after the delivery, Anita who wanted a
boy after having two girls said: "I thought my
baby boy would be like others but he is not
fine. I would have been very happy if he was
a normal baby but this is tragic. I’m finding
this very difficult."
She was admitted to New Maa Saroj Nursing
Home, in Kanpur, but due to the non-
availability of any senior doctors she was
referred to Star Hospital nearby where she
was operated.
Rajeev Tiwari, the manager of New Maa Saroj
Nursing Home, said: "A baby boy with two
heads was born on Saturday and was initially
in a healthy state. But as hours passed his
condition worsened as he could not feed and
suffered breathing issues." He added that the
baby sadly died yesterday, 30 hours after it
was born.
Anita and her husband Satish are now coming
to terms with their loss and are grieving for
the remarkable birth back home with their
daughters.
