I have been counting. It's all because my address book crashed and I had to rebuild it. It made me realise how many people have now come forward in relation to this project, almost all of them wombtwin survivors.
Here are the statistics to date.
1. The present website went up on February 2007. I started the hit counter at 1000. It reads 14817 (that's new hits, not re-visits) today.
2. I have been making questionnaires since the Spring of 2003. To date, 716 forms have been completed and received by me.
(The sixth revision was launched Feb 2007, and 268 people have completed it. It will remain exactly as it is with no revision until 1000 people have completed it. We are about to start building a database from this data, so we can get some good statistics. Any experts on using SPSS with Access, who are willing to help, please email me! )
3. I have 268 email addresses on the list to receive GEMINI VOICES, our monthly email newsletter.
4. Since July 2007, 20 people have joined us as members, and 14 people have joined as associates of Wombtwin.com.
Clearly, we are growing.
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.
