Every mother expects the child they carried for 9 months will be born normally. But then there's this story in Hong Kong that will sure shock you!
A baby who was born in Hong Kong appears to have something unexplainable in her abdomen. The doctors thought that the mass forming in her abdomen were tumors. They're already preparing for her for the treatments only to find out that the abdomen of the baby contains two fetuses.
The twin fetuses in her abdomen weigh less than an ounce. According to the doctors, the twins were already 8-10 week old. Each of the fetuses already developed rib-cage, spine, umbilical cords, brain, intestines and 4 limbs. Obviously, the twins were already developing normally.
This is a rare condition known as fetus-in-fetu. It is a condition where a partially developed fetuses starts developing into the womb of the normal fetus.
�The baby girl was obviously too young to have conceived the fetuses herself. Instead, it�s likely that the girl was once one of triplets. Then, for some mysterious reason, the two smaller fetuses were absorbed into the body of the remaining child,� the researchers said.
The baby was born and the fetuses in her womb were immediately removed. She was able to have a good recovery after some treatments!
