Alone born twins
At least 1 in 10 people started life in the womb with a twin. Most people don’t know as the first ultrasound is done too late to notice the loss. The loss usually happens in the first trimester. Some might notice an empty amniotic sac next to the surviving twin, indicating that the other has “vanished”. It doesn’t actually vanish but is either aborted or absorbed by the placenta or the remaining twin. If the loss happens later than week 12, it stays in the womb for the remaining of the pregnancy and is born with the surviving twin. This is known as foetus papyraceous. HOW CAN A TWIN LOSS AFFECT YOU? As a lone born twin, you might have always felt lonely, different, wrong, you might have felt that you carried an unexplainable longing for something or someone. You might have recurrent patterns in your life that don’t seem to get better, despite for your effort to make changes or heal. This is because you are not addressing the actual underlying root cause of your symptoms: the trauma that happened to you in the womb!
The nervous system of alone born twins
More and more research shows us that what happens in the womb already shapes the people we become in the future. It can affect our thought patterns, our behaviour and our general health. The nervous system develops within the first few weeks of conception, and within the first trimester we can already sense, move, feel touch, taste etc., and it is therefore possible to have “felt” another twin. For twins the first relationship isn’t with the mother, but with the other twin. Due to interactions in the womb and to the loss, this can shape future relationship dynamics in a way that we are not aware of – this actually happens in our subconscious. Alone born twins have a very unique set up of how their brain and nervous system works. It is possible to remember the loss as memory isn’t only stored in neurons in the brain but in all cells of the body. It is possible to change the subconscious patterns and release the stored energy in the body by doing appropriate therapy. By creating neuroplasticity, we can move towards better patterns in both thoughts and behaviour. This is possible through specialised neurocentered therapy, available to alone born twins by neurospecialist Annika Spanggaard.
