WOMB TWIN SURVIVORS
WombTwin.com was established in 2007 by UK therapist and author, Althea Hayton, who developed the idea that the lone born survivors of a twin or multiple conception exhibit behavioral traits and psychophysiological symptoms which could be noticed, so a Healing Path was developed in print. Lacking research, she developed a questionnaire which was answered by 1246 respondents, of which only 877 confirmed Womb Twin Survivors had evidence of loss, resulting in the following shared traits which those with proof were found to have in common:
