Womb Twin
For people around the world affected by the loss of a twin before or around birth. This includes neonatal death, stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy.
What we do
Our main aim is to raise public awareness of how it feels to be a womb twin survivor. We hold an annual conference to bring womb twin survivors together from across the world. We have a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed about our activities, and a growing band of volunteer helpers. We are a non-profit organisation, created in 2007 and based in the UK. We now have a rapidly-expanding group of members and associate members, who have joined us from all over the world.

Around the world
It is known that on average around the world 1% of births are twin births. It has been discovered that for every twin birth there are ten womb twin survivors. Thus, 1 in 10 people is a womb twin survivor, and that means there are 600 million womb twin survivors in the world. It is time for womb twin survivors to make contact with each other for group support. On this web site we have provided facilities for every Womb Twin group in the world to have a web page like this, edited by a nominated womb twin survivor, so it will be in the right language and reflect local customs and needs.
There is room for everyone, and no special skills are needed!
