No, she didn't even know she was having twins until the birth. They were only supposed to live a few days but miraculously we know the outcome.

"Parents Patty and Mike Hensel didn't know they were expecting conjoined twins. Patty's pregnancy appeared to be going swimmingly, and there was nothing alarming about any of her ultrasounds.

In a 2001 piece, Time revealed that [b]Mike had reportedly heard two heartbeats during one sonogram, but his observation was dismissed.[/b]

At the time of the twins' birth, Patty was scheduled to undergo a C-section because doctors thought the fetus was in the breech position — a term used to describe when a baby is positioned in the womb bottom-first rather than head-first.
