Share to: Welcome to post comments I want to comment Maria is 25 years old this year. She has had three children and always thought that she was carrying a pair of twins. According to the hospital video, obstetrician Dr. Vasconcelos introduced that Maria learned about the physical deformities of the baby in her belly just a few minutes before giving birth. "The patient lives in a remote area of Para State and has never received an ultrasound examination, so she did not know beforehand. Moreover, the baby's position in the womb is abnormal, sitting in the uterus with both feet down, which may cause difficult labor. The situation is very critical." According to the British Daily Mail on December 22, Brazilian woman Maria de Nazare recently gave birth to a two-headed baby via cesarean section. The baby weighed about 9 pounds at birth and was in good physical condition. Fortunately, after the joint efforts of the doctors, the mother and child finally passed through the crisis safely. After a series of examinations, the doctors found that the two-headed baby had two brains and two spines but only one heart, sharing the lungs, liver, and pelvis. However, surprisingly, despite the physical deformities, all vital signs of the baby were normal at birth, and the baby was very healthy. Nevertheless, this also made Maria's attending doctor perplexed: if the two brains of the baby develop and function well, the doctor cannot determine which head of the baby should be removed. This "surprise" did not bring much trouble to Maria's family but instead brought a lot of joy to the household. Maria is always by the side of her child, hoping to take him home as soon as possible. Since the baby was born on the eve of Christmas, Maria gave them two names with great religious significance - Emanoel and Jesus. It is reported that this is the second recorded birth of a two-headed baby in Brazil. The first case in Brazil was a two-headed baby delivered by 27-year-old Ferreira, but the baby died a few hours after birth due to oxygen deprivation in the brain.
