The conjoined twins who even have matching BEAUTY spots
9:16 AMWearing their identical red dresses, identical twins Rabia and Rukia even have matching beauty spots.But tragically for these twins, their closeness is also putting their lives in danger.The sisters were born joined at the head at a clinic in Pabna, Bangladesh, in July.Parents Taslima Khatun Uno and Mohammed Rafiqul Islam didn’t learn that the twins were conjoined until after the birth.They were delivered by Caesarean and spent two weeks in intensive care as doctors checked they were otherwise healthy.Now the family face an agonising wait to see if surgeons can operate to separate the pair – but have been warned it could be two years even to take a decision.Their mother, Taslima, had enjoyed a normal pregnancy until around a month before their due date.She was referred to the PDC Clinic in northern Bangladesh for a Caesarean section. It was only during delivery that she had any inkling that something could be wrong. ‘Suddenly the doctor shouted ”Two babies! Give them medicine, we have to save their lives,” she said.
