An Australian mother of seven has given birth to twins who have two faces, two brains, and share one body Medicaldaily reports. The girls were born with the rare condition diprosopus, where the embryo fails to completely split and twins share one body.

The two girls are now in stable condition and breathing without any assistance. Immediately following their birth, Faith and Hope were not heard breathing, although they had a clear singular heartbeat, but they have continued to make progress.

Medical experts remain baffled that the “miracle twins” were able to defy all odds, especially in the first crucial weeks of their lives. “We sort of looked at it as; it'd be the same as being a child with autism or Down syndrome. I sort of don't believe in terminating the baby if it's healthy and growing fine and everything is going to plan,” said Howie to A Current Affair, an Australian news program. Young and Howie continue to show a tremendous amount of support for their twins, and will fight for them despite complications that may arise.

Faith and Hope are conjoined in an unusual way with only 35 similar cases recorded in history, but unfortunately none of those babies survived.
