Two-headed baby girl threatened by weak heart
In what is being called an extremely rare case, a baby girl was born Tuesday, July 28, with not one, but two heads, according to CBS News.
“Baby Girl Arciaga” was born in Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in the Philippines with two spines, two brains and two hearts all contained in one body.
Everything else about the child, a victim of dicephaly monozygotic conjoined birth, is normal, an article by the network says.
The child - technically two children- is being threatened by an underdeveloped heart.
“Eventually if one heart fails, the other one will be affected,” said Dr. Ruben Flores, said according to the article.

TweetAre Matchy-Match bridesmaid gowns a thing of the past?
And the bridesmaid dress revolution continues.
I admittedly thought one of my best friends had gone slightly batty when she said we bridesmaids could pick our own dresses as long as the dresses were in her berry color bridal palette - reds, blues, pinks, purples.
That’s right, the dresses don’t have to be the same color, shape, length or style. Not even the fabrics have to match.
It seems my friend was perfectly sane and climbing the trendy ladder fast.
As the bridesmaids’ dresses hinted in “The Sex and the City Movie” (Charlotte wore black, Samantha wore red and Miranda wore blue Zac Posen) and the summer edition of “InStyle Weddings” confirms, one of the latest trends in matrimonial fashion is allowing bridesmaids to pick the color they want wear up to a point. But don’t get too excited ladies.
Chance are slim we will live to see the day where every bride abandoning her lifelong dream of friends in matchy-match dresses.
