This has nothing to do with celebrities but I wanted to let you all know about this story that I just read.
O.k. here we go, if you get kinda grossed out about things then do not read any further!
It happened in Greece. A 9 year old little girl was complaining of stomach pains, so her family took her to the hospital. They saw that on the right side of her tummy was swollen. They took x-rays and then removed what they thought was a growth/tumor. But what they found was (I don’t know how you will handle this) an embryo that was more than 2 inches long. YES, SHE WAS CARRYING HER TWIN!!!! Her embryonic twin, is that insane or what???
The director of the hospital “Iakovos Brouskelis said that “they couldn’t suspect that this tumor would hide an embryo” It had formed as a fetus with a head hair eyes but no brain or umbilical cord.”
If you wondering how often this occurs it happens one in 500,000 LIVE births. Yep the one twin absorbs the other in the womb.
The little girl is doing well and had a full recovery. Thank God! I do wonder how that will effect her for the rest of her life. Her and her family, who doesn’t want to be known. BUT WOULD YOU????
