Hey there slackers! We've got some juicy news for you straight from our favorite gossip palace, Almaty.tv. According to TASS, a 29-year-old woman named Sandi Myaing gave birth to a baby boy in Naypyidaw's districts. Now, here's the kicker – the little tyke was transferred to a swanky pediatric medical center in the capital city. Fancy, right? The information ministry hasn't spilled any more beans about this situation.
This ain't the first rodeo for Myanmar when it comes to Siamese twins. Back in 2001, twins Mo Ma Ma Aung and Mo Pa Pa Aung were born conjoined at the hip in Mandalay, and underwent a successful separation surgery in August 2002. In 2009, a boy with conjoined heads and a single heart was delivered in the Shan State – a medical oddity known as dicephalic monozygotic twins. Siamese twins are basically identical twins that fail to fully separate during embryonic development, sharing parts of their body or internal organs. The odds of this happening? One in 200,000. Nearly half of Siamese twins don't make it out of the womb.
Now, here's a fun fact you can drop into your next awkward conversation: Siamese twins are now more commonly referred to as conjoined twins. save it for the next time your friends are trying to one-up each other with trivia.
As for what's happening in the world today, there's been no recent confirmation of conjoined twin births in Myanmar. Some other interesting tidbits include:
