Conjoined Twins Abby Hensel and Brittany just had a baby!

¯_(ツ)_(ツ)_/¯

There’s no way this isn’t a throuple situation.

i'm happy for them. they always seem like they're living their best lives

I've admitted it before, this relationship is fucking creepy. No, just no.

What's going to happen when Brittany falls in love and wants to marry? (Hey -I saw Side Show)

I read that they share a single set of reproductive organs, so biologically how can one sister claim parenthood without the other?

With modern DNA testing it will be easy to determine who the father is, but the only way to say which twin is the mother is to wait for the paternity test, and then say it's the mother who is married to the father.

Would the three of them share a bed, or would the husbands have alternate nights with "their" wife?

If both husbands aren't present during sex, is the other sister somehow cheating on her husband?

Sure, I'm making cheap jokes at their expense, but for them these are realities. However they work it out is fine with me, and they don't owe any of us the details.

She’s my niece AND my daughter.

Good for them, but a logistical vital statistics nightmare.

I imagine there's a sleep mask and earplugs involved for one twin when the other is...busy.

What's the point? She's going to feel all of it...

I listen to a LOT of podcasts.

It's just different. I'm so tired of all of the usual sex phobic templates shoved on our heads. that's why I think we have a lot to learn from trans people and also conjoined twins...anyone that transcends these archaic and tired old completely contrived social "norms" around heterosexuals and gender roles......these women have had the worst of it - they deserve some happiness.....

That guy must be some kind of pervert.

I can't even get a date.

i am surprised they can give birth to a child

R5 - No need for testing if they share a uterus and ovaries. (Even if they had different uteruses, their DNA would be the same. Co-mothers, I guess, would be the correct term.

[QUOTE]The two are dicephalic conjoined twins and share the same bloodstream and organs below the waist.

What makes this even weirder for me is that the twins are graduates of Bethel University in Minnesota, so they're conservative Christians.

This was probably done via surrogate (and most likely with a donor egg, though they'd probably deny the latter until the kid's old enough to understand).

I assume the baby is normal.

Here's a photo from 1910 of the Blazek sisters, the only female twins I'm aware of that produced a successful pregnancy while conjoined. Each had her own reproductive system. In modern times there's been at least one birth to a woman who was separated from her conjoined twin years earlier.

r15 A lot of Christian fundies are sex pests. My Christian high school's music teacher got in hot water for forcing himself on his kids' 14 year old female sitter.

So let me get this right... a 2 headed bitch can find a man and I cant ?!?!

It looks like maybe he and J.D. Vance were separated at birth.

The article never directly states that they gave birth to the baby.

Did the one just look away?

R16 Why donor eggs? I'm sure there are at least 2 ovaries between them. As long as they aren't too old, they may as well use their own eggs. I agree that they likely used a surrogate as a pregnancy may have been difficult, dangerous or impossible for them.

The famous "Siamese Twins" Chang & Eng Bunker (they were actually 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 Thai) married 2 white sisters in North Carolina. They were slave owners prior to the Civil War. They had 21 children between them. As of 2006, their descendants were estimated to number around 1,500 with many still living in western North Carolina.

Theoretically, with all shared organs below the waist, looking away was not the issue: there with one vagina.

Do the sisters share one or two sets of breasts? That has not been explicitly said. Did he resist the sister-in-law and keep motor boating the tits of the lawfully wedded one exclusively while the other sister just lay there while continuously accepting a penis?

To me, what's worse is that while there are no laws to govern such extremes in human genetics or behavior, people will always be willing to fill in the blanks with their own brands of systemic witchcraft and ignorance and harm society with their abject stupidity.

2 pussies stink as 1.

Organ distribution The twins have individual organs in the upper part of their body, while most of those at and below the navel are shared, the exception being the spinal cord.

2 heads 2 spines merging at the coccyx and joined at the thorax by sections of ribs. Surgery corrected scoliosis. 2 completely separate spinal cords 2 arms (originally 3, but the rudimentary central arm was removed, leaving the central shoulder blade in place) 1 broad ribcage with 2 highly fused sternums and traces of bridging ribs. Surgery expanded the pleural cavities. 2 breasts 2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, and medicine taken by either affects both) 4 lungs with the medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe; three pleural cavities 1 diaphragm with well coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect 2 stomachs 2 gallbladders 1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe Y-shaped small intestine, with slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture 1 large intestine (one colon, rectum, and anus) 3 kidneys: 2 left, 1 right 1 bladder 1 set of reproductive organs 2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally 1 slightly broad pelvis 2 legs

2 blow jobs for the price of 1.

I wish these would go away. I just can’t deal with it. And I cannot imagine the kind of person who could.

It’s a fucking. two headed girl. Everyone must see that. We’re supposed to normalize that? We can’t even normalize gay marriage.

Can you imagine being one of their students?

they have one shared digestive tract after two stomachs. They have two female reproductive systems. 2 wombs, 2 twats. I don't know how easy access those twats are. I suppose it's mostly doggy style? Does the husband ever dip into sister in law's cooge? I guess anal sex is off the table since that would be fucking both of them.

Was the baby…. normal?

god, imagine the consternation if it had 4 heads.

Who else but a weirdo fetishist would marry them?

And the pretty head married ? So the DUFH has to go everywhere with them.

This is from a recent documentary about their lives:

R32 "...two stomachs, two gall bladders, three kidneys, one liver, one small intestine, one large intestine, one pelvis, one bladder and one set of reproductive organs."

*"one set of reproductive organs" (That would suggest one vagina)

OK thanks my source was incorrect.

R11 I'm not sure how trans people somehow ethereally float over all of us with their mystical sex, it's just two dudes in dresses. And most people really don't want to think about ugly or weird people banging so I don't think this is going to usher in some sexual revolution. But I agree, good for them. They are very christian and have always wanted to be moms so I'm sure they don't really care whose kid it is and I'm sure they'll have more. I watched all their docs and there is no reason they couldn't have their own kids. I know it's important to try and maintain a sense of self for all twins and especially them. I get that they each have their own driver's licenses, sure. But they draw two salaries at their jobs which is weird considering they can only be in one place at once so it's not like one of them is talking to a kid on the other side of the room while the other is writing on the board. But whatever, it's not a problem that will ever be faced again, I'm sure. I remember when their weekly show came out, I was so excited, I was somewhere without cable when it premiered and I was telling my sis to watch it and tell me about it. She told me it was really boring and I couldn't believe her. But it was, really boring, so I hope that made people leave them alone.

[quote]Why donor eggs?

Among other reasons, the legal quagmire it would create for any IVF clinics that assisted in harvesting eggs from a reproductive system shared by two women.

Exhausted without paragraphs at r39 and gave up.

R40 There would be no "legal quagmire". Donor eggs can quite easily come from a sister. All parties would have to come mutual assent which is the definition of a contract. In the case of these conjoined twins, each twin is in control of the organ or extremity on the side of her head. If there was any possible legal doubt (or viable eggs came from the opposite ovary), both twins would enter into the contract. There is also no increased risk of producing more conjoined twins since the condition, while congenital, is not hereditary.

Quite frankly, the only way that I really see a legal quagmire is if the twins actually conceived and gave birth. This is entirely possible as they most likely have a complete genital tract. In that case, it would be impossible to ever know which ovary produced the ovum that ultimately became the child. I'm not sure how the legal mother could possibly be established unless by agreement.

[quote]There is also no increased risk of producing more conjoined twins since the condition, while congenital, is not hereditary.

Yes, I didn't say otherwise. And though I believe donor eggs would've been the easiest route, both medically and legally, for everyone involved in the process, I hope they found a clinic willing to help if their eggs are viable and that's what they wanted to do.

Bi dudes - can you imagine TWO female heads beneath you screaming in fake ecstacy?

Do they have an Onlyfans?

One dick makes two girls scream in unison, updates at 6….
