'Spider girl', 2, has two extra arms and legs sticking out of her waist

A "spider girl" from India was born with an extra two arms and legs attached to her waist.

A video of the two-and-a-half year old girl being cradled by a woman before showing her extra limbs has been shared online.

The child, who is from the village of Hemda in Nawada, Bihar, left her mother Usha Devi shocked after the young girl was born with the extra pair of arms and legs attached to her.

The youngster is able to stand on her two functioning legs and appears to have full use of the arms by her side.

While the four additional limbs appear motionless and protrude from her waist.

The little girl is dressed in yellow and seemingly distressed as she is recorded on the roadside in India.

The video shows her two extra arms and legs attached to her waist and stomach at the centre of her body.

Now, the tot's family are pleading with people to help raise enough funds for an operation to help their daughter.

They argue the limbs are impacting the girl's quality of life.

The family are calling on the local administration to intervene and help improve the matter.

It is also believed the family's 11-year-old son was also born with a disability.

The baby boy was born with four legs and four arms - thought to be the result of a birth defect from an underdeveloped conjoined twin.

But worshippers in India have gathered in the small town of Dumri-Isri to celebrate the arrival of the baby, who they believe to be a reincarnation of Hindu God Ganesha.

Another woman gave birth to a girl with four legs and three hands in 2019.

Doctors believe the girl was originally part of a set of triplets, two of whom became conjoined. She was delivered alongside a healthy baby brother.

Mum Raju, 24, gave birth in a government-run hospital in Tonk in Rajasthan, India.

The little girl was born with an extra set of legs and hands covering her entire chest and abdomen.
