A baby girl with four arms and four legs and two hearts was born in a private hospital in Bihar’s Chhapra on Tuesday night. The child didn’t survive beyond 20 minutes after birth.

The birth took place at a nursing home in Chhapra at Shyam Chak where a woman gave birth to this child. The moment the hospital staff and other patients, who were present there, came to know about this case, it started to generate curiosity and conversation among them.

The child was delivered via the Caesarean procedure and was alive when she was pulled out of her mother’s womb. Unfortunately, the baby couldn’t survive. Hospital director Dr Anil Kumar said such births are rare but do occur. This happens when the egg divides into two embryos inside the uterus. Twins are born if the process occurs on time or else it can result in conjoined twins. In this case, however, the separation didn’t occur and which is why one child with four arms and four legs and two hearts was born, said the doctor.

The doctor added that the mother of such offspring undergo several difficulties when carrying the baby to term, complicating the delivery. Though the child couldn’t be saved, the woman is in good health and doctors are closely monitoring her situation.
