Woman gave birth to healthy boy and headless baby

For a 30-year-old first-time mother in Mumbai, India, Thursday was a day of mixed emotions. She delivered a healthy boy along with a headless baby. The malformed foetus, known in medical terms as acardia monster baby, was stillborn, said doctors at Bombay Hospital, near New Marine Lines.

"The parents are still in a state of shock after seeing the stillborn baby," said Dr Shilpa Ambekar, the gynaecologist who was treating the mother throughout the pregnancy. The incidence of acardia monster that occurs mainly in twins, is one per 40,000 live births. Dr Ambekar said the baby only had an abdomen and no head, neck or face.
