A two-part programme on BBC 4, starting on December 5th, sets out an intriguing theory: maternal/foetal conflict.
It's great that documentary makers are beginning to see at last that the nine months in the womb are a vital developmental stage, which helps to create our individual nature. This is an important addition to the nature/nurture debate.
Do watch it ( you can catch it on the net on BBCi) and let me know what you think.
I wonder: will they soon think of making a documentary about wombtwin survivors? I do hope so!
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.
I am so disappointed that I won't be able to watch this documentary...unfortunately these broadcasts are not offered on the net outside of the UK. *Sigh* I hope you will at least post some of the main points...maybe one day they will broadcast here...but probably a dubbed version in German..not my favourite way to watch. Oh well....:)
