Do you remember Abigail and Brittany from TLC Reality ShowAbby and Brittany? If you looked at the show, he had to be on your favorites list. The show documented daily life of these extraordinary twins. Abby and Brittany are twins with a body. Due to their unique body of the body, they have been faced with many difficulties in their lives. But instead of prostrate, they made their strength and emerged from the champions. We documented the inspiring life path of these two unique twins that started with their astonishing purposes at their present. You will also meet less well-known facts on both.
Arrival of miracle
Mike was very happy to learn about Patty's pregnancy, his best half. They were super enthusiastic and ignored what future had planned. Pregnancy was gently and no trace of complication had been anticipated. Even the ultrasound were very normal according to their parents. Whenever they saw two heads connected in the sonogram, the doctors thought that the twin heads could have been aligned and rejected new doubts. However, Mike has already heard two cardiac beats, but even his observation has been scrapped. Then came the day when Patty was rushed to the hospital. She was about to give delivery to their child. It was a remarkable moment for everyone.
30 seconds of silence
Brittany and Abigail Hensesel were born on March 7, 1990 in Patty, a nurse and Mike, a landscaper and carpenter. Their arrival was nothing less than a surprise for their parents and doctors. Newly born babies were not ordinary in any sense! They were joint twins. Doctors had to double the infants as a person had anticipated united twins. In the surprise, everyone in the room fell silent for about 30 seconds. The surprise was soon followed by despair as doctors said that twins would not be able to survive at night.
They will die?
This night-night, the infants were taken away from a nearby children's hospital. Patty remembers "we thought they were going to die." Patty's health was also deteriorated due to high blood pressure. Because of his weakness, Patty Sandy Fiecke's sister took office and worked on his child at the Children's Hospital. It only traveled nearly newborn after carrying the Patty and Mikes sweatshirt so that both could know the scent of their parent. It was difficult for Mike to broadcast the news of the arrival of their newborns to their parents and friends. He said, "It's quite difficult to explain to your parents how the children were put together."
Minnesota girls
But the girls of Minnesota survived the night! It was still necessary to be seen for how long would they prove bad doctors. They had a medical condition called Dichalic parapagus. It is a rare condition in which the twins share the same organism separated by two heads on the torso. Usually, infants with this medical condition do not live long, in fact, most of them are dead. Brittany and Abby also had the same body with separate vital organs. The two had their own stomach, the spine, the heart, the spinal cord and the lungs. However, both did not have the same reproduction system. The worst thing was that the doctors had said that the twins did not live beyond their childhood.
Separation surgery
In order to separate the twins, the doctor has advised separation surgery after the birth of girls. But their parents refused the option. Many other medical practitioners have recounted that surgery can be detrimental to the life of their newborn. It was a high risk. To date, the decision was acceptable for the kid, but it was to see how the decision of their parents was the decision to know if the twins would grow up. Will they agree to be jointly in the future when they would have their own thoughts and preferences?
The obstacle
Sharing the same reproductive organ has made it difficult for them to undergo separation surgery. Surgery was dangerous because despite distinct vital organs, they share the same breeding body. In addition to having a reproductive organ, both have also shared the liver, ruin, intestine, bladder and circulatory system. If we go to the estimate that the birth of joint twins only occurs once on all 189,000 births and that the rare situation of Abby and Brittany makes a part of 11%.
Arms extending
Not just that girls have undergone several surgeries! The twins are born with a third underdeveloped arm branching from their chest. For this to be cut, they had to come under the knife. The second time they suffered surgery, while they were only 12 years old. The surgery was made to repair their scoliosis (curvature of the spine). It was followed by another surgery which increased the expansion of their thoracic cavity so as not to find difficulty breathing in the future. Their unusual state hindered not only their health, but their social life too.
Unique problems
Because of their shape of unusual body, they had to deal with unusual problems in their childhood. To learn to get up, crawl or walk is a difficult feat for every child, but for the twins, it was much more problematic because they had two minds working on a body that often intersect. The girls took 15 months to learn the walk. They took little time to learn other basic activities. In an amazing way, despite these problems, the duo did not accept to give up any activity. The result is that today's girls are well trained to cycle, run, swim and even drive a car. The extraordinary twins did not know that a great opportunity was going to knock on their door.
Come to life
The twins became Girl of Life magazine covered in 1996 at the age of 6. Their photo had the legend of "a body, two souls". The magazine burst out of their life and the extraordinary challenges they meet every day. He documented the life path of the twins. The magazine made them quite popular in his hometown and in the world. But it was just the beginning of the fame they were going to have in the future. Few knew something very unexpected was on their way!
Appearance on Oprah Winfrey Show!
The same year, girls would testify to another phenomenal moment. Winfrey Oprah was very interested in these twins. She wanted to know them personally, so she invited them to her show. The episode was a big success and girls became popular even more. Everything was because of their popularity that the twins are called again on the show. It was only a teaser of what would happen to them in the future.
Joint twins, not always good
They are the best half of the other in the real sense. The girls control each half of the body. Abby and Brittany control the arm and leg of their body. So, to stay, walk and choose things, they need support from each other. Usually, this is not a problem, but sometimes it becomes really irritated. There were cases where Abby wanted to have a favorite walk and Brittany sitting on the couch. And sometimes, Brittany wanted to sleep early but Abby had no intention of going to bed. These differences in Abby require something that was the least expected.
When ABBY's request wounded Britty
If we talk about health, Brittany has always been subject to several diseases. Brittany tends to catch the cold frequently and twice was diagnosed with pneumonia. Brittany's disease would also require Abby to stay on the bed all the time. Once irritated by this surgical separation required agitated that made Brittany cry. But as they grew up Abby became more sensitive and understanding. "We never want us to be separated - because we would never be able to do everything we do now ... like playing softball, running and playing sports."
A heart, two spirits
Interestingly, although Abby and Brittany have a body, both are controlled by their own mind. Therefore, both have different hobbies, for example, while Abby excels in mathematics, Brittany likes to write a lot. The good thing is that the duo never interferes with everyone's habits.
Controlling
The duo controls respectively each half of their body. The two girls control a leg and an arm of each part of their body. In order to stay, walk or choose something, there should be the consent of the two girls. Usually, this is not a problem, but sometimes it becomes really irritated. There were cases where Abby wanted to have a favorite walk and Brittany sitting on the couch.
Physical structure
Their physical perspectives are different too. Abby is bigger than Britty. While Abby is 5 feet 2 inches, Brittany is up to 4 feet 10 inches. Another thing that distinguishes them is their style of walking. While the ABBY walking has pressed feet on the floor on the other side, Brittany takes the help of its tip. The difference in their working style is quite visible. Some even think they work lame. But it is not the case here.
Priorities
Both have different choices, but what is common in their list of priorities is education. After completing high school in 2008. After that, the DUO graduated from Bethel University in Education. Their school life was not easy. The two twins had their interest in different concentrations in their middle finger. It was not the studies that proved a challenge, but the additional courses that included physical activities and many others.
Disadvantage
There are some advantages of being attached with disadvantages. Brittany Hensesel explained that they had to give a driving test twice and had to erase a supervised test several times in a line. The twins divided the responsibility to drive the car. On the one hand, Abby manages any activity of the driver's seat, Brittany supports the left side. Their mother once said "I do not know what would happen if they stopped for speeding. Do they get a ticket or just Abby because it's his foot on the accelerator? "
Like a
While writing a letter, an application or an email, they talk to each other from one person. Abby argues that the sisters understand feelings with almost no verbal communication. That's why when they write, they have nothing to wonder anything.
Love and not like
We generally think that the joint twins have the same tastes and do not love, but the reality is not like that. These twins are very different from the others carrying different personalities, having choices of different colors, foods and yes, of course, a style of vinaigrette. As they say, your clothes explain many of your personalities that both transmit their different personalities by making different clothes. In order to have a dress well with their personality, they even hired a seamstress who has designed a personalized neckline that gives a different touch of their style.
Taste buds
The twins are governed by different butterflies. While or at home, they order different foods. Although their body is all that has their own stomach so obviously a plate is not enough for them. They have many differences when it comes to food. While the other loves spicy foods, the other prefers less spicy. Their tastes or disgusts are large different when it comes to culinary.
Birthday
Needless to say, their birthday is a double celebration for the family. The two girls really enjoy their birthday and have a separate cake for themselves. They also have different flavor choices. We do not know what flavor do they like, but if we go through the photo, it seems that the girl loves vanilla and the other prefers chocolate on any other flavor.
Like separate individuals
Although the twins share the same body, they have always been considered individuals separate by their family and friends. They also take like distinct individuals, for example, buy two tickets for the movie and they also have two driving licenses. They order different meals in the restaurant and wear clothes of their own choice.
Joined for life
In 2002, they made another appearance on television with another documentary called "joined for life" by advanced medical productions. The documentary was distributed on the Canal of the Discovery Health. The documentary was followed by another documentary called to bare. After that in 2006, Advanced Medical filmed another documentary called for life: Abby & Brittany at Rendez-vous 16. The documentary covered their social life, adolescence, schools and other activities.

The girls had another occasion while waiting for them when they completed their sixteenth year. TLC approached them to make a documentary on their lives. Abby and Britanny gave their node to the offer without giving him a second thought. The documentary on these extraordinary girls has been a success! After the success of the documentary, TLC proposed a full-fledged show on girls. However, the show had only eight episodes and a season.

Music
Not only sports, they also love music. Their love for music is evident by the fact that they are well versed in many musical instruments. They spend their leisure time in reading these instruments.
Friends
Abby and Brittany are full of positivity. And there is an optimistic nature that attracts people to them. Despite their future future and their doubtful future, they maintain an affable smile on their faces. It's because of their joly nature they have made many friends. The TLC show also had their large group of friends. They believe that by sharing their experiences and lives with other people, would allow them to acquire more knowledge about the world. This will also help them get closer to the ordinary world in which they live. But when it comes to social life, they face daily!
Look
The twins are very comfortable in their skin but sometimes they are really uncomfortable. Due to their shape of the unique body, some people look at them sometimes and in the worst cases started taking their photos. According to girls, they have no quality that poses images but before taking them, they should at least be asked. It is really striving the twins.
Love life
No doubt the twins have a lot of friends, but what about love? Both very believe in love. BOT The Sisters are looking for their prince charming! They want to have a family and children. Although having a body, they have different choices and it also goes from their crushing. Despite their joint fate, they want to get married to different men and have their own family. They know that there is someone who is only for them. Their father Mike said about the dream of their daughters to marry one day, "they are beautiful girls. They are spiritual. They have everything that goes for them, except ", they are together."
Dangers to come
The twins live a great familiar life. But unfortunately, their perfect life is not above the dangers. This is true that the two daughters have proven that doctors are not false previously, but the life being taken danger is always imminent above them. According to one study, so far only four joint twins have been successful in surviving this detrimental disorder. We really hope that girls would prove the doctors again.
Health problems
Usually, twins suffer many health risks. Similarly, these extraordinary twins are also predisposed to several health problems. Importantly of them is a heart failure and an organ defect. Girls are likely to get diagnosed. Fortunately, so far, girls have good health. Today, they are 22 years old and drive a very healthy life.

Education
Small twins grew up in big girls. Both have even chosen their career. Today, they work as a teacher with a specialization in mathematics. It is interesting to see that despite their different tastes, both have agreed to make their choice of career. Joint sisters fully benefit from their state while teaching. While we focus on student teaching the other ensures that students pay enough attention to the class.
