A MUM of conjoined twins said she refuses to separate her daughters who are thriving - after docs told her to have an abortion.
However, despite receiving abuse from the public, Chelsea admits that she does not want to separate her twins and hasn't even thought about them having this kind of surgery.Chelsea, who is 23-weeks pregnant, said: "We have always believed in the girls - even when I was advised to have an abortion, I couldn't go through with it.
We have always believed in the girls - even when I was advised to have an abortion, I couldn't go through with it"Because the girls are still very young, they haven't realised that they are different to any other child who isn't conjoined so they currently show no issues being together."They are doing well at the moment and we have not been advised to look into the surgery, so as long as they are doing well they will stay together.
The girls have become a lot stronger in the past years because them moving together takes a lot of effort"They also start school in February where they will have physical, speech and occupational therapy so I'm hoping that will help too. But, despite the love that the twins receive from their friends and family, Chelsea admits that strangers aren't as welcoming."People don't realise that it is hard for me to have to watch everyone else's kids grow up and run around playing together, whilst my daughters cannot walk yet.
