A woman in Lagos has reportedly given birth to a two-headed baby on Tuesday, December 13th, in a Med-In Specialist Hospital located at Oshogbo Street in Ogudu, lagos.

 

 Staff member at the hospital were all astonished at the baby born around 6:30pm through an elective caesarean section, who has two heads, a neck, chest, two legs and two hands. Vanguard reported.

 

 

According to the mother and medics, they were expecting a set of twins as indicated by the various scans she underwent in the course of the pregnancy but a baby with two-heads was delivered instead.

 

According to one of the nurses in the delivery room, they had prepared two cots for each of the twins but were shocked when they saw that they were conjoined.

 

 “This is the first time I am seeing anything like this. I have watched it in movies but seeing it in real life was such an experience for me. Thankfully, the surgeon ensured that they survived.

 

“As I speak to you, the mother doesn’t know the condition of the babies. She still believes and expects to carry her twins. We haven’t told her yet. Only her husband was brought into the theatre to see his children and he was the one who went with the doctors to LUTH,” said the nurse.
