A 23-year-old Indian mother had doctors in total shock when she gave birth to the country’s second ‘Mermaid baby’ whose gender was impossible to be determined, but lost it just four hours later.
The baby born with fused legs was born with a rare condition known as ‘Mermaid Syndrome’ or Sirenomelia. It was the second such case in the country and fifth in the world.
Muskura Bibi had given its natural birth on Wednesday morning at the government-run Chittaranjan Deva Sadan Hospital in Kolkata, India.
Bibi, for whom it was the first pregnancy, had not undergone sonography and only learnt about the baby’s condition when she first saw it after birth.
