Cute thread title, although realistically, ultra-sounds would have revealed the baby wasn't normal, so it was likely delivered by C-section.
BTW, I tried clicking on the link, but it came up with a message saying the Yahoo page had expired.

Munkonge said the baby's deformities were caused by the incomplete growth of another fetus and a multiplication of cells that would normally have resulted in the birth of conjoined twins.
The mortality rate among babies with such severe deformities is high, especially in highly impoverished countries like Zambia where access to health services is poor.
The baby's mother said she gave birth to the baby girl two weeks ago in Choma, 188 miles south of the capital Lusaka.
Aww, such a difficult thing for that little cute baby & Mommy to go through! Hope everything turns out alright with the surgeries...

Yep, I'm sure it wasn't natural child birth.

I fixed it by using a tinyurl. Simon's board doesn't handle URLs that contain an ampersand.

The report says that the baby was born to a "rural Zambian woman", which means that in all likelihood, the baby was delivered naturally. Urgh, poor woman.
Glad that the drs think that the baby will be able to function normally after the excess limbs have been operated on. She's a cute little thing (stop getting clucky Prisca!)

It hurts giving birth to two-legged babies. It's called "labour" for a reason!
Love, Scully
