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.

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.
