No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

"Fetus papyraceous occurs in 1 out of 12,000 pregnancies and 1 out of 200 twin pregnancies."
Instead of absorption, it could have been papyrification, but apparently that leaves a kind of unmistakable trace for a doctor, which you mentioned so I assume was involved during birth. If pregnancy was non-standard in more ways then just finding out late, maybe those remains were so small that they were harder to notice?
I couldn't find a written record of a similar situation where a second twin that was seen at 7 months and just vanished afterward, so this could be a unique mix of circumstances. That also makes it statistically a lot more likely that somewhere along the lines, information was missing, or got garbled in chaos, or was misheard, not unlikely during extreme situations like birth. I'm not even thinking about bad intentions, just all the places where one human error could be the missing puzzle piece.
Can you think of any extra information regarding your time during pregnancy and your birth you are willing to share?
It sucks that you couldn't live with your twin, although I can imagine you have made you peace with it since. Having siblings can be a lot of fun, I know I love it :)
Oh actually, I have other siblings
In fact, I'm the youngest of 7
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.
No, it doesn't make sense for the babies to have both been me.
Besides, my mom actually didn't gain any weight when she was pregnant with me. I wasn't growing in her stomach
Oh, you are just full of shit. No worries, carry on.
I'm really not full of shit but whatevs 🙄😒
You are either being duplicitous or are astonishingly certain about things you have no idea about.
Either way, this is a waste of time.
Blah blah blah, whatevs 🙄😒
