Well after several months of experimenting with every conceivable way to make images for the new book (Which new book? See here) I had it done in a few hours yesterday and today to celebrate I made a tiny little movie of just under 2 minutes: here it is:
All comments welcomed!!!
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.
The drawings look good, interesting how clear they make this vague condition seem! Well done, Althea!
ReplyDeleteOne additional thought: since the definition of WTS is "loss at birth or before" - which is certainly the case for me - I yearn to see the far-along twins in utero pictured in the mix. Far-along pregnancies where one twin vanished, have characteristics that are unique to the ever-crowdened womb of this type of survivor whose wombspace & competition for resources is prolonged. It seems accurate & fair to include an image like that to represent all W T S.
