Conjoined Twins
Posted on  21st June 2015

In simple language, conjoined babies are twins attached together or babies who are physically connected to each other. Conjoined twins or monozygotic twins are partially connected and do not separate from each other. In most twin pregnancies, the embryos separate from two or more babies, but when the embryos do not separate completely and remain physically connected, they develop into conjoined twins. In conjoined twins the embryos are mostly joined at the chest, abdomen or the pelvis, they may share one or more internal organs. The first conjoined twins were Chang and Eng, who were born in Siam in Thailand and since then conjoined twins are also known as Siamese twins.

Types of Conjoined Twins
Conjoined twins may be joined at one or more places, and their type depends on where they are joined. They may share body parts or other internal organs. Following are the types of conjoined twins:
1. Omphalopagus
These types of conjoined twins are joined near the abdomen or the belly button. They usually share their liver or other lower body parts like small intestine etc.; however, they do not share their hearts.
2. Thoracopagus
Such types of conjoined twins are joined at the chest. They usually share a heart, liver and other upper body organs. Most conjoined twins fall under this category.
3. Parapagus
These kinds of conjoined twins are joined sideways in the pelvic region, all or part of chest and abdomen. The twins may have two or more limbs, but they have two heads.
4. Ischiopagus
Such cases of conjoined twins are joined at the pelvic region, either face to face or back to back. These twins share a liver, gastrointestinal tract and genital organs.
5. Pygopagus
These types of twins are joined back to back at the base of their spines and the hips. Where some twins may share the gastrointestinal tracts, others may share genitals organs.
6. Rachipagus
Such types of conjoined twins are joined back to back along the length of the spine. In very rare situations conjoined twins are joined this way.
7. Craniopagus
These types of twins are joined at the head, but their faces are not joined. Most cases of conjoined twins at the head share part of the skull, but they usually have separate brains.
8. Cephalopagus
Such types of congenital twins are joined at the face and the upper part of the body. Both the faces appear on the opposite sides of the same head, and they also share the brain. Such twins seldom survive.

I told you many times that your mind plays major role for giving birth to Healthy child. It not only avoid defective births but also avoid Criminal or undesired births..I already told you many times that "Prevention is better than Cure"
Haitian Sisters Were Conjoined At The Abdomen
Conjoined baby twins, Marian and Michelle Bernard underwent a rare 7-hour surgery to be separated at the University Hospital of Mirebalais in Haiti. Doctors knew the survival rate for the girls would be low and the surgery risky. Prevent such births and enjoy with your Healthy child.
My advise
1...  Conjoined twins are two babies who are born physically connected to each other
2..   Conjoined twins develop when an early embryo only partially separates to form two individuals. Although two fetuses will develop from this embryo, they will remain physically connected — most often at the chest, abdomen or pelvis. Conjoined twins may also share one or more internal organs
3..... Though many conjoined twins are not alive when born (stillborn) or die shortly after birth, advances in surgery and technology have improved survival rates. Some surviving conjoined twins can be surgically separated. The success of surgery depends on where the twins are joined and how many and which organs are shared, as well as the experience and skill of the surgical team. 
4.....  Conjoined twins are typically classified according to where they're joined, usually at matching sites, and sometimes at more than one site. They sometimes share organs or other parts of their bodies. The specific anatomy of each pair of conjoined twins is unique
Conjoined twins may be joined at any of these sites:
a....   Chest. Thoracopagus (thor-uh-KOP-uh-gus) twins are joined face to face at the chest. They often have a shared heart and may also share one liver and upper intestine. This is one of the most common sites of conjoined twins
b.....  Abdomen. Omphalopagus (om-fuh-LOP-uh-gus) twins are joined near the bellybutton. Many omphalopagus twins share the liver, and some share the lower part of the small intestine (ileum) and colon. They generally do not share a heart
c......Base of spine. Pygopagus (pie-GOP-uh-gus) twins are commonly joined back to back at the base of the spine and the buttocks. Some pygopagus twins share the lower gastrointestinal tract, and a few share the genital and urinary organs
d...   Length of spine. Rachipagus (ray-KIP-uh-gus), also called rachiopagus (ray-kee-OP-uh-gus), twins are joined back to back along the length of the spine. This type is very rare.
 When the couple decided to give birth to a child they should practice positive thinking to avoid birth defects, Conjoined births.
e....   Pelvis. Ischiopagus (is-kee-OP-uh-gus) twins are joined at the pelvis, either face to face or end to end. Many ischiopagus twins share the lower gastrointestinal tract, as well as the liver and genital and urinary tract organs. Each twin may have two legs or, less commonly, the twins share two or three legs
f....  Trunk. Parapagus (pa-RAP-uh-gus) twins are joined side to side at the pelvis and part or all of the abdomen and chest, but with separate heads. The twins can have two, three or four arms and two or three legs
g......Head. Craniopagus (kray-nee-OP-uh-gus) twins are joined at the back, top or side of the head, but not the face. Craniopagus twins share a portion of the skull. But their brains are usually separate, though they may share some brain tissue
h......Head and chest. Cephalopagus (sef-uh-LOP-uh-gus) twins are joined at the face and upper body. The faces are on opposite sides of a single shared head, and they share a brain. These twins rarely survive
5... The couple should have the clear vision how the child would be... This attitude will be developed with practice only.
6... Avoid defective births
