The twins were born at Cygnus JK Hindu Hospital in Sonipat, Haryana, in northern India, yesterday morning.

The baby girl is weighing 3400 kilos, has two heads, two necks and two spines but only one body.
Now she is under close observation in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Doctors now fear the baby girl, yet to be named, has slim chance of survival.

The parents are very distressed now and the doctors are helping the family the best they can.

 Urmila and her husband Subhash who have one other daughter, were too poor to have an ultrasound during the pregnancy so complications had gone unnoticed.

The doctors say that they only came to know the woman was carrying conjoined twins after an ultrasound two weeks ago but it was too late to do anything by then.

Now the baby is born and the doctors do their best to save the girl and as they hope to operate once her condition is more stable.
