Well after two weeks of struggling with iMovie for Mac, we have four short edited videos of the wombtwin conference.
You can see them on the website here. Click the names at the side to get to the individual pages.
I have also uploaded them onto UTube ( where they come out a bit bigger but more blurry.)
I have made a wombtwin survivors group on Utube, so if you want to join, upload your own videos.
The next step is the transcripts: dont hold your breath for those, but they will come.....
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.

An annual Wombtwin day?
I have been researching St Thomas, called "The Twin" in the Bible, whose feast day is celebrated variously. This is what the Encyclopedia Brittannica has to say on the subject:
Also, being in those busy days before Christmas, many surviving twins find Christmas so hard, and it would be good to spend some time remembering our lost twins before we plunge into the festivities.
So I have made a decision: I will keep December 21st this year and every year as a special Wombtwin Day. I will spend some time remembering my twin and thanking him for all the gifts he has given me: this project being just one!!
Who would like to join me in doing this? Do post a comment if you have a good idea about what to do, and let's gather some good ideas together via this blog.
Wishing you well on your special day

Saint Thomas born , probably Galilee
Died c. AD 53, Madras, India; Western feast day December 21, feast day in Roman and Syrian Catholic churches July 3, in the Greek church October 6
The July 3rd Festival of Twins is now well established, but that would not be the best date for surviving twins. We need another date.
Now December 21st would be good: it's 7 months before Twins Day and many twins "vanish" at around 8 weeks. It make sense also because it's a dark time and yet, once it is past, we are moving slowly and gently into the light of a new summer. So many surviving twins who have walked the Healing path with me are in a very dark place until they let their twin go - and almost at once they too are moving towards the light.Also, being in those busy days before Christmas, many surviving twins find Christmas so hard, and it would be good to spend some time remembering our lost twins before we plunge into the festivities.
So I have made a decision: I will keep December 21st this year and every year as a special Wombtwin Day. I will spend some time remembering my twin and thanking him for all the gifts he has given me: this project being just one!!
