Woman delivers baby with four legs

Ballari - The baby was born at Dhadeasugure Primary Health Centre

23-year-old Indian woman has delivered a baby with four legs and two male sex organs.
The baby was born at Dhadeasugure Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Raichur on Saturday, according to the Times of India.
The new born has been taken to Vijayanagara Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), Ballari and placed under neonatal care.
Initially, the mother of the baby, Lalitamma, was reluctant to take the infant to VIMS for higher treatment. "It is God's gift to us," she told the doctors.
"I referred the family to VIMS. I spoke to the surgeons there on Sunday, and they told me that the baby was being kept under observation. I hope the infant becomes normal," Dr Virupaksha said.
Dr Divakar Gaddi, who is handling the baby's case at VIMS, said, "A team of surgeons is looking into the baby's condition. It is a very challenging case for us."
"My first son, born three years ago, is healthy. We are poor and cannot afford expensive treatment," said Lalitamma adding that she was willing to raise her newborn child just the way he was.
