The parents of conjoined twins have vowed to give their babies the best chance of survival after they were born sharing most of their vital organs.

The tiny pair stunned their parents who had not been able to afford to have a scan when they arrived fused together at the stomach and sharing two legs.

The gynaecologist, who delivered the babies, said medics had no idea that the children were joined together.

Dr Ruchi Gupta: “This was the first such case in our hospital and we all were shocked to witness the birth of the child.

"We only learnt that the mother was carrying a conjoined twin at the last moment.

“The babies are perfectly healthy and so we did not keep them at intensive care unit and rather handed them to their mother.

"But we cannot tell how long they will survive as conjoined twins have a short-life span.”
