Wikipedia info :
Conjoined twins are identical twins[1] joined in utero. A rare phenomenon, the occurrence is estimated to range from 1 in 49,000 births to 1 in 189,000 births, with a somewhat higher incidence in Southeast Asia, Africa and Brazil.[2] Approximately half are stillborn, and a smaller fraction of pairs born alive have abnormalities incompatible with life. The condition is more frequently found among females, with a ratio of 3:1 Hope this helps and is the information you are looking for. Welcome to PC ![]()

Do you mean, can you see the condition on an ultrasound or do you have to wait until they are born? I dont know - i think you can see on the ultrasound, but not sure when, or if always. You dont always see the correct number of babies period.
