Dicephalous (Siamese) Twins Pregnant Lisa Chamberlain Refuses to Abort
Posted Jan 12, 2009 by Lindsay Britney
Lisa Chamberlain, a British woman from UK’s Porthsmouth, is a soon-to-be mom. A bit surperised, the 25-year-old pregger was found conceiving dicephalous (or siamese, conjoined) twins with two heads but one body. Ignoring Doctors’ suggest to terminate her pregnancy, Lisa Chamberlain, who is inspired by US’s extraordinary Abigail and Brittany Hensel twins (pictures below) [wikipedia], refused to abort her unborn babies who will have only a 20% chance of survival, calling them ‘gift from God.’
“Some people might look at me and say “You’re going to give birth to a freak” but I don’t care because I feel blessed,” she said.
“To me, my twins are a gift from God and we’re determined to give them their chance of life.”
Considering the fact that because the majority of Siamese twins are girls, Lisa Chamberlain and fiance Mike Pedace have already named their conjoined twins as Layla and Kelsey who could be the first surving siamese twins with separate heads but only one body in the history of UK. Ms. Charmberlain once had the polycystic ovary syndrome, she was treated long time to get pregnant. Source: Skynews & Dailymail
