Rabia and Rukia (left) were born joined at the head at a clinic in Pabna, Bangladesh, in July.
They were delivered by a Caesarean section and spent two weeks in intensive care as doctors checked they were otherwise healthy. Mother Taslima Khatun Uno (right) and father Mohammed Rafiqul Islam didn't learn that the twins were conjoined until after the birth and it was only during delivery they had an inkling something could be wrong. But now doctors are monitoring the twin's health and the family face a two year wait to see if surgeons can operate to separate the pair.
