1) Mum was told by doctors and nurses she was having twins and even picked names. She then told me she was enormous early on, but no more mention of twins. She had toxaemia and had to spend a lot of the pregnancy in hospital. I was born with caul on my face and I was over 8lb in weight.
2) I have always felt a piece of my life missing or unresolved. This "twin-less" term became a reality to me when I had a "lookalike" working in the same place where I work.
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
