Double The Trouble! Peek Inside The Lives Of Abby & Brittany, The Conjoined Twins

“We take turns on things that we want to do and work out where each of us is happy and try to find a happy medium between things,” Abby says.

The girls have two spines, which join at the pelvis, two hearts, two stomachs, three kidneys, two gall bladders, four lungs (two are joined), one liver, one ribcage and a shared circulatory system. They share all organs from the waist down, including the intestine, bladder and reproductive organs. They were born with three arms but one was surgically removed when they were infants and at age 12 they had surgery to correct their scoliosis.

Abby and Brittany lead their lives in their small farming community like any other young women. They play the piano and even drive, with Abby pressing the accelerator and Brittany controlling the signals.

The Minnesota natives are now searching for their first jobs, but they’re being pragmatic about their employment opportunities and outlook.

“Oh right away we’re going to get one salary because we’re doing the job of one person but as the experience rolls in we can hopefully get more.”
