Makes much more sense if this all happened at 7 weeks vs. 7 months.....

    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

    It could also be plausible that your twin was not viable, and did not develop in utero. So when she says they found your twin in the ultrasound, perhaps what they saw was whatever remained after the earlier absorption.

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

    I'm no radiologist, but yeah. That makes the most sense. And I bet the doctors would have presented it in a positive way for your mother at the time, to prevent her from feeling any sort of guilt in regards to not knowing she was pregnant, and how it might have affected your twin.

    Well, actually, my twin dying was actually a positive for my mom. She was struggling and couldn't really see herself taking care of two babies. In fact, she kept on telling the doctors and nurses "I am leaving this hospital with only one baby."

    And she got her wish: she only came home with me
