  • So what you're saying is, my twin could have already been mostly absorbed, but still showed up in the ultrasound?

  • But why do I feel like that violates some sort of doctoral protocol or duty or something?

  • ... as someone who's had many XRays and cat scans done in my life, I feel like a mass would have shown up long before now

  • I was 18 years old at the time this happened

    I was walking downtown, and this older white wman (he looked like he was in his forties) was walking towards me and said to me "Hey, you're pretty cute for a little n***er girl". (I'm Black you can fill in the blanks I'm sure) and he tried to touch me

    And that made me so mad, I felt my face get hot, and i just kicked him in the groins and punched him in the face as hard as I could and then ran away from him fast as I could.

  • It's not necessarily a problem per se, I just don't see why a doctor would lie to their patient, especially a pregnant woman

  • Nope, my mom really didn't realize she was pregnant with me until seven months.

    And funny enough, that's the part people are always in disbelief in, not the twin part

  • Because my mom is literally the most honest person I know, that's how

  • Yes, he is my birth father

  • Because my mother has never lied to me. So why would she lie about something like this?

    That's how im sure about it. So if there's any misinformation about it, it's not from my mother. The doctors, maybe, but not my mother

  • I understand that, but i don't think the misinformation was coming from my mother if that were the case. She told me exactly what happened and exactly what the doctors told her.

  • Thanks, but I don't really do horror. I get scared too easily and it makes it so I cant sleep at night

  • He didnt show up until after I had been born.

    So he doesn't really have any sorta say

  • No, no misinformation. Everything I wrote in the post is exact what my mom told me about her pregnancy and my birth, and what she told me was what the doctors told her what happened.

  • Technically, this has less to do with me and more to do with my mother.

    When my mother was pregnant with me, she didn't even know she was pregnant until 7 months into the pregnancy.

    I know what you're probably thinking: "How did my mom not realize she was pregnant for that long?", because I wondered this too.

    But apparently, according to my mom, I was not growing in her stomach, I somehow moved and was laying flat in her back, so she really didn't notice any significant weight gain.

    So when she scheduled a visit to the doctor, because she was feeling oddly sick, the doctor had her do an X-ray/sonogram, and the nurse came in with the results and said to my mom: "We figured out the issue; Congratulations, you're pregnant with twins!"

    "What?? TWINS‽" My mother exclaimed in confusion, "No, that can't be right. I can't take care of twins right now!"

    And the nurse said "but ma'am, the results show two babies, look!" And my mom told me sure enough, there were two babies in the pictures.

    This was in December 2003. In February 2004, I was born.

    Just me though. My twin didn't make it: the womb absorbed them. Apparently the technical term for that is Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

    But hey, it worked out perfectly: my mom told the doctors when she was about to give birth "I am only leaving out of here with one baby!" and she got her wish.

  • Yeah, Kuromi is one of my favorites!

    Also, I just got the Kuromi SkullPanda today!!

  • Okay, didn't even consider these were probably based off Invader Zim. But then again, I never actually watched IZ, I mainly just know it from the memes. And Gir in scene culture)

    However, i cant totally see that show influencing this kinda style

  • Well, i am actually expecting a new plushie

    Well, a plush doll Keychain, but I think it still counts

    I'm getting my first ever SkullPanda. It should be coming in the mail hopefully one day next week
