    1 in 50 million chance… world population of 8 billion… average yearly birth rate of 19 per 1000… that would make it 3 per year of these cases! I wouldn’t’ve expected so many double-featured individuals being out there 😯

      Article also said last time it happened was in 2019. Surprised there hasn’t been any for nearly 4 years.

        Yeah, it also says there is a 0.3% of females thought to have the condition. The numbers don’t seem to fit.

          Assuming 53% of population are females that is 12.7 million with the condition. Using your 19/1000 that’s 241k babies a year under this subgroup. Maybe it is 1 in 50 million chance for those 241k babies a year? Still seems off though I did pull the 53% out of my butt but I vaguely remember there being a slightly higher % of females in the total population.

    Best of luck to her. Would they want to try performing a typical delivery or a C-section? I would think the latter but I’m no expert.

      From the article it seems like she wants to do a normal delivery, but a C-section might be necessary if there are complications.

    That sounds…risky. I wonder how far apart they were conceived.
