The girls were born at the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia early March their parents Fuschia and Quincy Gaskin from Clemanton, NJ, sharing news of their arrival a few days later on the same page.
Doctors had told the couple before Fuschia gave birth that the organs the girls shared meant they could never be separated.
News of Fuschias one-in-200,000 pregnancy was first revealed by Metro US in February, with the expectant mother revealing that her girls had a misformed heart.
Fuschia, who also has a one year-old son called Quamari said at the time: The doctors are worried about their heart.
They have a heart condition whereas instead of a normal heart like most people have, with two upper chambers and two lower chambers, they have just one large upper chamber and three lower chambers.
(The doctors) are worried about hows thats going to function after.
It could potentially cause health issues if their hearts are overworked.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the Gaskin family. To donate click here.
