Abby and Brittany
Abby and her twin sister Brittany were born with dicephalus, which means they have two heads but only one body. Despite their incredible physical challenges, Abby and Brittany grew into strong, passionate individuals. Both work as fifth grade teachers in Minnesota, where their family lives.
In 2021, Abby found the love of her life, namely Josh Bowling, a former soldier. They build sincere and memorable relationships, overcoming any obstacles that may arise. Their wedding was a beautiful moment that touched the hearts of many people.
Rare case
The statement from Philadelphia Hospital that conjoined twins are successfully born is only 1:200,000 cases.
Research also found that around 70 percent of conjoined twins are female, while the majority are stillborn.
One of the survivors with Dicephalus conjoined twins is Abby and Brittany. When they are born they are fused and side by side with the same pelvis.
Their two heads are on one torso, but they have their own organs such as the brain, heart and other organs. Abby and Brittany also share organs below the waist and blood flow.
They even only have one reproductive organ. According to him, Abby controls the right arm and leg, while her twin Brittany controls the left arm and leg.
The twins "Abby and Brittany" appeared on the Oprah Show
The twins were born in 1990 and shared their story with the public in 1996 on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Then, in 2012 they also appeared in a TLC reality show entitled Abby & Brittany. This program aims to follow their lives after graduating from Bethel College in Minnesota through their journey to Europe to teach.
They told how to coordinate their daily activities, such as going to parties and getting food at home.
"In making decisions, there were compromises we had to make," said Abby.
"We take turns. We want to try so that each of us is happy and finds a way to be happy," he continued again.
The reason their parents didn't separate the conjoined twins "Abby and Brittany"
In 2001, Abby and Brittany's parents gave a live interview to Time magazine. Their parents, Mike and Patty, discussed their children's future marriage. Mike explained that his daughter once asked how to find a husband, and suddenly her father thought "why not?".
"They are beautiful girls. They are smart. Everything is going well, they should always be together," said Mike.
Furthermore, when asked why they did not separate the twins at birth, the couple denied this. Not without reason, according to doctors there was little chance the twins would survive the procedure at that time.
"How can you choose between the two?" Mike said.
Mike and Patty then educated their children until they became 5th grade elementary school teachers in the local area.
