A client writes: I have a question about missing twins and I was wondering if you could answer it for me:
I have a 10 month old boy. When I got pregnant with him, around five weeks pregnant, they did an ultrasound and they told me that I had two bags and that they were twins. At that moment their hearts were not beating, so I went back to see the doctor and she told me that she had a baby. The other was what they called a missing twin. Did she tell me that one of the twins absorbed the other ?! Anyway, the other bag is missing and I have a baby.
Since all that, I’ve seen several stories on the Discovery Channel that talked about whether one twin absorbed another, that later, when the surviving twin turned six, seven, or eight … they could develop a tumor. in their stomach where they had absorbed the other baby. This doesn’t even sound good. I can’t understand how this would or could happen, but I have seen many stories about this. I wanted to ask someone who really knew about this. If you could help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks Margaret
Answer: Margaret. He wouldn’t be too concerned about cancer starting in his abdomen as this event is extremely rare, but keep in mind in his story that he has a missing twin so he knows.
On rare occasions, one twin can absorb another, but this is usually not how it works. A friend of mine has a missing twin (I never told him this). I could tell, because I had what’s called a dermoid cyst on my forehead. A dermoid cyst is a growth that contains all types of cells imaginable. In fact, my friend had a small piece of fingernail protruding from the center of the cyst. The entire cyst was removed, but part of it grew back!
I heard that a missing twin will grow inside the abdomen. Most are simply absorbed into the mother’s body and are part of the mother’s uterus. This happens all the time in veterinary medicine. I once had a client who was taking an oral HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) spray, and the spray caused the benign dermoid cyst in her uterus to grow and turn into cancer.
What I think you will see as you get older are those personality traits that seem to occur often in missing twin syndrome, such as low self-esteem, lack of self-esteem, self-sabotage, the ability to earn a lot of money but not save. any, looking for someone who is “like him”, and an aversion to competition. Pay special attention to helping him develop self-esteem, self-esteem, and self-esteem from an early age.
There is an excellent book published in 2007 by Althea Hayton that takes an in-depth look at all aspects of missing twin syndrome through the eyes of many, many professionals who have researched and been aware of missing twin syndrome for many years. Be on the lookout for that.
However, the most important thing is that you enjoy your child. Life is Beautiful. It was the missing twin’s decision to enter his body and leave, giving his son a very special set of spiritual lessons. The twin, and I have a feeling that his twin is a woman, is usually prowling the child’s life. She will take care of and protect you, so don’t put him off when interacting with your “imaginary friend” as you will most likely be able to see and talk to her. I bet you will be more comfortable with women than men in this life and will look for a woman “like him.” You watch and stay in touch. Namaste. Dr. Moffat
