Conjoined Twins Motherhood Question Finally Answered

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel have been in the spotlight for years, and people still want to know the same thing, could they ever become mothers? They first got attention back in 1996 when they went on The Oprah Winfrey Show at six years old, and later they even had their own series that showed them going through school and into adult life.

They once said, “People have been curious about us since we were born, for obvious reasons.” They also said, “But our parents never let us use that as an excuse. We were raised to believe we could do anything we wanted to do.”

The sisters share organs below the waist, and each one controls a different side of the body. Their parents, Patty and Mike, decided against surgery because doctors warned it was too risky. Their father once said: “How could you choose one child over the other?”

It recently came out that Abby married Josh Bowling, who is a nurse and an Army veteran. They kept it quiet but records show they married in 2021, and since then, photos online show them together, smiling and traveling.

Their mom, Patty, said in a documentary that both Abby and Brittany want to have kids and that it might even be possible since their organs work well enough. Abby herself said: “Yeah, we are going to be mums one day, but we don’t want to talk about how it’s going to work yet.”

People are also curious about simple things, like how they eat. They each have their own stomach but share a bladder so they usually share meals, taking turns, even though they can eat separately if they want to.

What they never talk about is their private life. They share one set of genitals, and a professor explained that means both would feel anything in that area. She admitted: “We don’t know” if they share orgasms and said it is “hard to guess how any conjoinment will turn out in practice.”

Some think they might share some responses but really nobody knows for sure, and they’ve kept those parts of life private. What is clear is that they always push to be seen as individuals even while sharing one body, and the dream of being mothers is still something they hold onto.
