The new US womb twin blog

The US blog just took a giant leap forward! Take a look here.

This is what Sylvia had to say today: ( I couldn't have put it better myself!)

Acknowledgment of the plight of the wombtwin survivor is in great need - both in society and in wombtwin survivors themselves.

Awareness of this condition becomes a clear explanation to what didn't make sense before. It is also extremely disproportionate to the pain suffered by those who lost someone with whom they once shared a womb. They need not suffer alone just because society hasn't yet established proper recognition and understanding of this syndrome. Battling such a vague condition all alone is especially difficult when being alone is the problem to begin with!

We must be the salmon swimming upstream in a world of nonbeliever singletons.

Rather than also looking the other way to this growing house of mirrors, we must recognize and respond to an impending epidemic. An ever increasing occurrence of twins & multiples is due to artificial interventions (like in vitro) and natural egg splitting due to egg ripeness as women wait later in their lives to conceive.

Wombtwin survivors are all around us and they are playing out their dream of the womb everyday... Some know it and can't help themselves, some know it and are helping, but most survivors have no idea.

I do hope they get lots of hits and followers.  If you are in the USA and not following or commenting yet,  please visit the blog and get involved!

Someone said to me yesterday that this project was too much of "a one-woman band."  It certainly was to begin with, in April 2007 when I was all alone with my Unltd grant and a new company to create,  but today we have members all over the world and I have two new directors - since yesterday- and a growing list of voluteer helpers.

Apart from the fact that I can't possibly cater for the needs of the 600 million womb twin survivors  in the world all by myself,  I did once have a life. That seems a long time ago now.   I suppose if the company and the project can grow big enough to stand alone, one day I will be able to retire and write that novel about St Alban......
