Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is Sumaiyah and I m 22. I recently found out by my aunt that I was originally a twin. The problem is that I was told when I was younger that my mother had problems with me while she was pregnant and that she had a miscarriage 2/3 months into the pregnancy and then a troublesome pregnancy for the rest of her pregnancy. Then when she gave birth to me I almost didn t make it. Now what I understand is that a miscarriage means you lose your baby. Does this mean that she maybe had twins and lost 1 of the babies? The reason I ask is because my aunt hinted that I was a twin. But I don t fully understand what happened with my mothers case. Also would I have twins if I get pregnant because my mothers mom had twins and if this that happened to me means that she had twins so then it would be 2 generations of twins. So would I be a third generation. And would I have problems also because my aunt survived but her twin brother didn t when my gran had her twins?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, look this is very unusual kind of thinking, first once it is conception and miscarriage ever occurs then fetus would be no more there least concern whether it is single or twins, second it is not like that or hereditary that mother had twins and her sister had the same so now it should be the same with you, but this could be a co-incidence only, and if it is ever happens by chance then it is not the matter of worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
