Poor baby, little 1year old Kang was born “pregnant” with her twin brother, and the doctors didn’t know it until her tummy started to swell. The crazy thing about this is that the she looks so happy, and looks like she’s just having a good time, that’s how you know that babies don’t know what’s really going on in their personal surroundings. Recently she survived a 10hr surgery that was done in order for to give “birth” to her unborn twin brother; here’s what reports are saying:
The rare condition — called foetus in fetu — is where a twin becomes trapped inside the developing body of its sibling.
The tot can survive past birth and keep growing by developing a new umbilical cord directly into their more developed twin's blood supply.
Tiny Kang, who was adopted by a couple in Zhenzhou, eastern China, underwent ten hours of surgery at the Zhenzhou People's Hospital and medics say she will now make a full recovery.
Chief surgeon Dr Zhang Xuedong said: "She will be able to go home at the end of the month, with her mother Wang Guihua and father Kuang Xiqing."
He added: "There was a very real risk of cardiac arrest. The pressure within the child's chest and belly was very great but now she is out of danger."
