Woman is expecting twins with one body

A mother-to-be is set to make British medical history by giving birth to Siamese twins with two heads — but just one body.

Lisa Chamberlain, 25, found during a hospital scan that she was expecting rare dicephalus twins.

She and fiancé Mike Pedace ruled out an abortion. Lisa, of Portsmouth, insisted: “I feel blessed.”



Despite being told the babies have just a 20 per cent chance of survival, she and fiancé Mike refused to end her pregnancy, which followed years of trying for a child.

Instead they are looking forward to the day when Lisa gives birth to her dicephalus twins — one of the rarest known types of Siamese twin.

Lisa said: “Some people might look at me and say, ‘You’re going to give birth to a freak’ — but I don’t care because I feel blessed. “To me, my twins are a gift from God and we’re determined to give them their chance of life.”
