Time to go public about womb twin survivors!

Its time to stop thinking that we are mistaken, that the loss of a twin before birth cannot have any psychological effect on the survivors.  We are all over the net: on Google ("wombtwin" always comes up no 1, several pages of this project with nearly 8000 results.)  "Womb twin" gets  a more eclectic mix but we are there too.

We have a yahoo forum, a web site, several blogs and a twitter account to pull it all together. We have a Womb Twin  organisation with members. It's all happening!

Somehow we have to overcome the prejudice against the womb twin survivors idea, that was so clear when I tried, unsuccessfully, to put Womb twin survivors into wikipedia.  ( Try it.)  It looks like the world is conspiring to make us fade away and vanish, just like our twins.  NO, our twins were not spirited away by aliens, or indeed anyone else. They simply died and we are naturally very sad about that.

BUT WE WON'T BE IGNORED! We will be heard. We will be given space to tell our story. We demand that we be taken seriously.

The Womb Twin book is now corrected and proofed as far as Chapter 20. (10 to go)  On almost every page there is a challenge for psychologists, psychiatrists and other research workers. This book will not be well-received by them because they will have to think again, about so much.

If Sigmund Freud had known about life in the womb and seen twins react to one another in the womb at 9 weeks of pregnancy he would have created some very different material, asked very different questions and formulated a very different view of when consciousness begins. Come on, you Neo- Freudians, admit that your theories are outdated and come and join us in this fabulous journey of discovery back to the womb in search of the lost twins. It has already brought healing to so many people.
This is good work: it heals, it helps, it explains so much.  The world must hear it.

If you have read this far, please link this blog to whatever you are doing, leave a comment, follow this blog or the Twitter page or the Facebook page (all the links are here on this page.) - I can't do this all by myself, so let's all join together and get the information out there NOW.

I'll be back tomorrow with some thoughts about food, obesity and a possible connection between hunger and a twin lost before birth......

  1. Yes! The more the world ignores us, the more ignorant (and outnumbered) they become.

    Thanks for leading the charge so passionately and eloquently, Althea!
