UTERO BONDING AND ITS EFFECTS UPON SURVIVOR TWINS
TWINSWORLD » Summer/Independence Day Edition 1998
Dr Raymond Brandt
In recent months there is an increasing aware-ness, therefore, interest
in the connected feelings a twinless twin experiences from utero or
stillbirth demise of their twinship. Previously it was deemed by
professional medical and family practitioners that surely there cannot
be such feelings; life and all it's concomitant senses began at birth
surely not conception.
This stoic unqualified viewpoint has been undermined and upset recently
by a more in-depth look through the womb window. State-of-the-art
instruments permit viewing multiple fetuses in communion with each
other in the womb. This activity of bonding is far more than simple
responses to snug-ness. These utero stage twins are touching, hugging,
sucking each other's thumbs, and shoving on each other. Through
regressive hypnosis therapy, some twins remember far back into their
utero development. One twin recalls experiencing the kicking response
of her twin when he was selectively demised by injection.
Following through with interviews of hundreds of twinless from utero
and stillbirth death of a their twins there are common symptoms
articulated I by each: a feeling of being incomplete, missing that:
other half, always searching for that twin they bonded with in-utero.
As infants and small children they evidence this in behaviors and
mannerism, which seems strange in contrast for they cannot yet
articulate or express
themselves.
Sometimes parents and nurturing people have: been so diligent in hiding
the twin pregnancy event from the survivor twin that it is only in
later years that the twin is told or discovers proof that he/she are a.
twin. They reverse the disguise and "bloom" into their twin awareness.
Twins from utero or early infant demise always know instinctively that
they are twins, but under parental dispelling they become very
confused. "Parents feed and nurture me with love; there- 'fore, I must
believe them". "If they do not acknowledge my twinship than I must not
be a twin and my mysterious feelings are just that. My parents never
speak of my twin and never take me to the grave site, so what are all
these mistaken feelings that I feel?" 'My twin has no name and every
human is honored with his/her own name, thus there must be no twin to
me". "These feelings must mean I'm crazy".
Twinless babies and infants are more restless. Put to sleep in a crib
the parents find them moving about the crib as if seeking the once
closeness of their twin. Put a warm bottle wrapped in a towel next to
them and they go to sleep. The pretend warm body of their twin lulls
them to sleep. How many times mothers have put twins in a crib near
opposite ends only to find them moments later together, even sucking
each other's thumbs—womb life model.
