I’ve looked up Vanishing Twin Syndrome, and almost every article I have seen said that VTS typically only happens during the first trimester of the pregnancy.
But here’s the catch: My mom didn’t realize or know she was pregnant with me until 7 months into the pregnancy. And when she found out, the ultrasounds did show two babies. Me and my twin.
If Vanishing Twin Syndrome usually only occurs during the 1st trimester, is there a reason why it can happen so late during the pregnancy, as in the case with my mom and my twin? Or is there technically another name for this specific situation?
Well, for those wondering how my mom didn’t realize she was pregnant until seven months in, I apparently wasn’t growing in her stomach. So she didn’t see any significant or concerning weight gain.
I was somehow lying completely flat in her back for most of the pregnancy.
As for my twin, I’m not sure. My mom said two babies were seen in the ultrasound results but what happened to my twin now im not so sure. Because my mom told me my twin was absorbed by the womb
You and your vanishing twin were invisible at 7 months.
Your mom was not a little lady, so my best explanation would be that they never saw “both” of these babies at the same time in the ultrasound. They were both you.
