The girl was born with four legs and three arms after two triplets merged in the womb.
Mum Raju, 24, gave birth to the twins at a government hospital in Tok, Rajasthan, on Friday.
While the baby boy is healthy, the girl was born with an extra set of legs and arms that covered her chest and abdomen.
It is believed that the additional limbs could be surgically removed.
Dr. Rohitesh Meena, the surgeon who delivered the babies, said: “Raju delivered the twins naturally at 2:46 am. The male child is normal, but the female is a case of conjoined twins. She had a minor respiratory issue. We removed her oxygen support, and her vital signs are stable. We will refer her to an advanced hospital in Jaipur for further treatment and pediatric surgery. The mother and the male child are stable.”
Raju and her husband, Badhulal Gurjar, a laborer, were expecting their first child.
The couple, who cannot read or write, had not gone for an ultrasound and were unaware of the pregnancy. They had missed the pregnancy as Raju did not show any symptoms.
“They were distressed after the girl’s birth,” added Dr. Meena.
Doctors believe this could possibly be the first case where triplets are born paternally and the couple is conjoined.
