Discovery Channel Full Episodes A customer writes:I have an inquiry concerning vanishing twins and was thinking about whether you could answer it for me:

I have a 10-month old kid. When I got pregnant with him, around five weeks into my pregnancy, I had a ultrasound and they let me know that I had two sacs and that it was twins. At the time they couldn't get a heart beat, so I did a reversal to the Dr. what's more, she let me know then that I had one infant. The other was what they called a vanishing twin. She let me know that the one twin retained the other?! In any case the other sac vanished and I have the one infant kid.

Since all that, I have seen a few stories on the Discovery Channel that discussed on the off chance that one twin consumed another, that later on, when the surviving twin achieved the age of six, seven, or eight...that they could build up a tumor in their stomach where they had retained the other infant. This doesn't sound right. I can't make sense of how this would or could happen, however I have seen a great deal of stories on this. I needed to ask somebody who may truly think about this. On the off chance that you could help, I would truly value it. Much obliged to you, Margaret

Answer: Margaret. I wouldn't be excessively worried around a tumor beginning in his midriff as this occasion is greatly uncommon, yet do note it in his history that he has a vanishing twin so he knows of it.

On uncommon event one twin can retain another, yet that is not ordinarily how it functions. A dear companion of mine has a vanishing twin (I never let him know this.) I could tell, since he had what is known as a dermoid pimple on his temple. A dermoid pimple is a development that has each possible sort of cell in it. My companion really had a little bit of nail becoming out of the focal point of the growth. He had the whole growth expelled, however some of it became back!

I have heard where a vanishing twin will become inside the guts. Most are simply consumed by the mother's body and are a part of the mother's uterus. This happens all the time in veterinary drug. When I had a customer who was taking an oral HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) splash, and the shower lured the favorable dermoid growth in her uterus to develop and transform into disease.

What I think you will see as he becomes more seasoned are those identity qualities that appear to happen regularly in the vanishing twin disorder, for example, low self-regard, absence of self esteem, self-attacking, the capacity to profit however not spare any, hunting down somebody who is "much the same as him", and a repugnance for rivalry. Give careful consideration to helping him fabricate self esteem, self-esteem, and self-regard from an early age.

There is a brilliant book turning out in 2007 by Althea Hayton that talks about, top to bottom, every one of the parts of the vanishing twin disorder through the eyes of numerous, numerous experts who have scrutinized and have known about the vanishing twin disorder for a long time. Look for that.

In particular however, make the most of your child. Life is valuable. It was the vanishing twin's choice to come into your body and to leave, giving your child an arrangement of some exceptionally extraordinary profound lessons. The twin- - and I'm detecting that his twin is a female- - more often than not sticks around for the life of the tyke. She will watch over him and ensure him, so kindly don't demoralize him when he connects with his "imaginal companion" as probably he will have the capacity to see her and converse with her. I wager he will feel more good with ladies than men in this lifetime and quest for a lady "simply like him." You watch, and stay in contact. Namaste. Dr. Moffat
