1) I don't know if I am ... but it is looking very likely. I'm scared.
2) My twin brother died at birth and I was always searching for something as a little girl. I didn't know until I got older that I probably was looking for him. I think my life would have been more joyful, and I believe I would have been a different person had he been in it. I've always missed him, especially on our birthday. Losing a twin is like losing a part of me, and I've always thought, the best part of me.
3) I found out I was a twin at age 21. I grew up knowing something was missing. After birth I developed asthma and spent most my early years in hospitals and oxygen tents. I grew out of asthma around 10 years old. I'm 34 now and really I guess missing or curious about my twin - was it a boy or a girl? Not sure what else to say.
4) I recently started counseling for childhood abuse that I felt I had not dealt with, but through this, I have started a journey towards finding out if I am a womb twin survivor.
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.
