getSession Headers Type

I'm trying to access the user session from an endpoint in my express server:
app.post('/print_auth', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: req.headers,
  });
  console.log(session);
  res.json({ success: true });
});


However, the type that getSession expects for headers is Headers, but the type express gives me is IncomingHttpHeaders. How do I fix this?
Solution
Update: I wasn't including credentials: true in my 
fetch
 call to hit the endpoint, after that it started working.

For the typing, this worked:
app.post('/print_auth', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: new Headers(req.headers as Record<string, string>),
  });
  console.log(session);
  res.json({ success: true });
});
