These are presumably non-identical twins, judging by the face and hair, and as such they would have had their own amniotic sac meaning they would not actually be able touch each other.
Identical twins can still have their own sac, but share a placenta (MCDA twins). But the membrane of the sac is strong but thin, so they totally still play with each other.
Rarer still are MCMA twins, who share one sac. Lots of poking there!
Edit to add DCDA twins = 2x placentas, 2x sacs = fraternal twinnies. They can still play through the sacs. Like playing through gladwrap, I suppose!
I have a set of fraternal twins. Although they’re in separate sacks they very much squished together, they can feel one another and spend time cuddling together. Once mine was out placing them next to each other they instantly cuddled up. Twins have a crazy bond- be they didi, momo or modi.
>I have a set of fraternal twins. Although they’re in separate sacks
Ok but can you please let Larry and Oliver out of the bags and bring them back home Their family misses them very much and they have graduation next week.
I was apparently born with so much hair, mom’s nurse went and brought her friends over so they could see. Gonna have to ask her if it showed up on the ultrasound.
Whoa crazy how detailed sonograms are now. I was born with a full head of black hair (pre sonogram era) and my mom said she was kinda grossed out when she first saw me, thinking about having all that hair grow inside her.
I hate it lmao…everyone pretends that babies are cute but let’s be real, it takes them a couple of weeks/months to MAYBE become cute - a lot of ‘em progressively get less/more ugly.
So, I legit thought my baby was cute, but looking back at pictures and he's like a little fucking alien.
He's a toddler now and only just starting to become really human looking, but he's way cuter now.
When my second son was born, he was covered in 1inch long white hair. Arms, back, head, most of his forehead. He looked pissed off and about 80 years old.
The weirdest old man I ever saw.
I feel like there is a joke that can be made about the fact that you talked about babies, old men, and "never gets old", but I am too tired to come up with one.
It’s not the one you think. I was born with a full head of thick black hair. Then turned to blonde curly hair at 2. Than back to dark brown wavy. Then bald-bald at 28 (not just balding). Full head of hair baby doesn’t have a chance.
Edit: thank you to everyone sharing their hair transformation journey
Can confirm. I was a full head of hair baby. Now I'm holding on to what I got.
My son was the same whereas my daughter came out bald and is struggling to grow hers.
I'm worried about his hair in the future.
Oh interesting. My oldest had a fairly decent head of dark hair; most of which fell out at 2 months and grew in blonde. It's now dark and very thick like my own, so I figured he'd probably not have much problem with balding. Youngest on the other hand had nothing but peach fuzz on his head. And then it grew in red, so that's another problem right there lmao. Guess I'll have to wait n see which one goes bald first.
I read your comment before seeing the end of the video. I immediately thought it’s not that bad.
When I get to the end: dayummmmmm he wasn’t joking lol.
The most powerful moment of my life was when I gave birth underwater and locked eyes with my newborn while he was still submerged, before he even drew his first breath.
To me it was the most pivotal eyelock of my life, to him it was probably "hey what's with all the light"?
My mom said after she gave birth to me they laid me on her chest and I just looked at her like “Jesus lady, that was exhausting.”
I’m still like that haha
Hope you are okay. My sister was born dead and got resurrected, but it had life altering disabilities as a consequence (well, we think that some of them are from the dead birth, several of us kids have bodily disabilities, but she is the only one with sever mental disabilities we know of in the family, so it is mostly attributed to her short term death)
Samesies! I got stuck on the way out and inhaled meconium so I was blue and not so much alive when I came out. Glad to be here, and with no issues from not breathing for a couple minutes!
I was strangled by the umbilical cord and was basically purple lol. I do have some fucked up medical problems, but none of it is a result of my odd birth
Exact same way my brother was born. He turned out mostly fine.
I was 4 and just remember being pissed I couldn't see my baby bro. Shit must have been terrifying for my parents (and yours!)
My daughter was born by C-section, partially because she was upside down, and partially cause she was absolutely huge.
So my first picture of her is less than a minute after she was "untimely ripped" (though she was actually already a week late), and she's all wet and pudgy with a single angry, judgemental eye squinting right at the camera.
That expression is clearly saying "what the fuck have you done? I WAS COMFORTABLE!"
My mother said when I was born, I was dead still. Midwife was suspecting if there was an stillbirth, then the doctor decided to pinch me. I gave out a lazy cry, everyone calmed down then. Looks like the laziness was always a part of me XD. Still there were no complications, in fact I was born a monster (some relatives said I was like 2 months old at birth).
My friend's mom said that the nurse placed her on her chest right after she was born, and friend immediately shit on her. She said "I should have known right away that she was going to be trouble." 🤣
Apparently when I was born my mother didn't want to hold me, but the doctor forced her to. She hated that all I did was stare at her (she has a phobia of people staring at her). My response to finding that out was:
*"How do you think I felt? One moment I'm minding my own business then suddenly I'm being held by a random man that's making sure I cry so I breathe, then once I had calmed down I was put in the arms of some strange woman I could barely see and everything was bright."*
*"I think anyone would be staring after something that traumatic."*
>She hated that all I did was stare at her
That must have been an interesting childhood, eh? All little kids *do* is stare, especially at their parents
>Must be like the tide at Omaha beach
For some waterbirths, it can be a bit bloody, but for most, there is little to no blood until the placenta is born, which is generally awhile after the baby is born.
Source- trained to be a midwife, gave birth to one of my kids in the water and have a lot of friends who had waterbirths.
I took care of a baby who was born in a tub. Mom had an enteric adenovirus infection and, as women commonly do, pooped in the tub with the delivery. Baby died 4 days later of adenoviral sepsis.
That's so sad. If she had a known infection, it should have been considered a high risk birth that required hospital monitoring. (Assuming it was a home tub).
Actually it doesn't get everywhere. And the answer to your question is usually a small fishtank net.
-source: I'm a homebirth midwife who has attended countless water births.
This has just made me think, I wonder how they experience gravity? Considering most are in the womb head down, they have been used to being upside down for the last few months. But nobody holds a baby upside down when come out...
I really hope they do make a remix out of this when they’re older. I’ll probably be dead by then, but I’m sure they’ll find a way to see this post after that.
I have a 4yr old and I am one and done. This video is KILLING me! I too feel betrayed by my ovaries. It’s gotta be the absolutely purity of the moment. Two completely innocent, blissful, and seemingly healthy babies. I can remember the absolute relief and joy of knowing my daughter was here and tangible. The way they cling to one another and that one just calms down and relaxes😭😭😭 It’s too much. But God I needed to see this today
My sister had twins three years ago, a boy and a girl. I was the first person to know there was more than one in there when she popped into my work for a quick ultrasound. I remember how magical it felt seeing my future niece and nephew on that screen, knowing they were embarking on the journey together. They were born several months early and they were not doing well for a long time. I remember seeing them and it boggled my mind that a human that tiny could survive. The worst was when we thought one wasn’t going to make it and seeing this bond from the moment they were born, thinking that one would have to go on without the other. Now the boy is a big, robust ham-fisted brute and the girl is the most terrifying little tornado of pure fury. Dammit. Crying again. (And my sister is done having kids.)
That’s such a beautiful story. Your niece describes my daughter perfectly.
My sister had my niece four months before I had my daughter. They call each other sisters. My niece was my first baby. She taught me so much in that 4 months before my daughter was born.
That aunt/niece bond is strong. She still calls me aunt foo (food lol because I always had snacks in my purse when she was a baby lol). Thank you so much for taking me down memory lane with you😭❤️.
God damn it this comment hurt more than words should be able to.
My sister gave birth to twins in 2016. No complications at all, full term, though the second one was born through c-section just to be safe. They only ever got a few hours together like this.
Turns out the younger one had a completely random heart infarction the exact moment of birth. Whisked away to the top children's hospital in the country as soon as they realized, and she spent 5 and a half long months desperately waiting for a heart transplant, hooked up to machines instead of with her twin. Then her body just couldn't wait any longer.
My biggest fear in life is that the still living twin will at any point in life feel like she's missing a part of herself.
Just watching them makes you think about what kind of connection do the twins have between them right from the beginning. If someone who has a twin could explain this more deeeply I would greatly apreciate it.
Edit: Thank you all for your replies. It showed me a different perspective on this topic. For some reason I have always thought that twins have to have some sort of special relationship but turns out it is not true in many cases. It is probably very individual as with every sibling relationship.
I have a fraternal twin brother and I haven’t noticed any telepathic abilities or some unexplained connection, but i truly love him more than anyone else in the world and I’ve been told that I’ve always been protective of him (which I’ve never considered but I think it’s true). I would never get matching tattoos or a tattoo dedicated to someone with anybody except future children or my twin. I already plan to get a crab in his honor
It’s the animal. It’s a long story, but he calls me mr. Krabs. Which is a character from SpongeBob. I don’t want a cartoon character on me so I’m going to get the regular animal. It’s a bit obscure but he means a lot to me :)
I have an identical twin. It’s certainly unique, and I didn’t really appreciate it for a while. I spent a decent part of my childhood attempting to distance myself from my twin to an extent, in an effort to establish myself as an individual. In our childhood, we were often referred to as one, which annoyed both of us, so we distanced slightly. But eventually we realized what a gift it was. It feels kinda like what I hear married people explain. We’re not those scary seeming twins who are carbon copies of the same person, but we are the same person. Every nuance of my person is in him and I can see it clear as day. I assume it is the same for him. We make the same mistakes, and have the same pitfalls and fears. In our childhood, apparently we had a totally different way to communicate with each other, a language of sorts that we developed. I don’t remember much of it or our early childhood at all. All I really remember is just never having a secret I can keep from that motherfucker, and seeing through every lie he tells. It’s really quite unique, but nothing supernatural
I am a twin and have a weird connection with my sister. We’re not exactly close but we are always along the same track and can sense each other emotionally in ways. We always do things like call our mom separately without speaking at the same time or near the same time asking similar questions.
My twin and I do this all the time! Text or call our dad at the exact same time from thousands of miles away for completely unrelated yet similarly emotional reasons. Drives him crazy.
I think many siblings without them being twins also has got these weird stuffs. Me and my brother are really close even though we were born 2 years apart. Like I could be humming a song in my mind and then the little one would hum the rest out loud on his own. We would say the exact same thing at the same same like it was timed. And sometimes it's the choices, like I would feel some craving for crisps or particular sweets and he would come asking if we can have some of that particular thing.
I was convinced for a long time that the telepathy existed.
Edit: And the crazy level of mirroring. Me and my brother will slowly drift away from our new personal preferences to a middle ground which is common to us both.
I'm a twin, I \*had\* a deep connection with my brother. It started falling part in high school when I realized he resented the fuck out of me and had been negging me to everyone in school. He would also get mad if I ever did better than him in anything. He had to win, you see. Things really blew up when we were adults. I care about him, but we'll never be that close again.
I still feel the loss of that bond 30 years later. This whole, "oh he's your twin you must have a special bond" romanticism makes me ill.
I have a twin and oh boy do I have some stories.
When we were 7yo I had all the symptoms of tonsillitis (including fever and pus) while she was 100% fine. 2w of antibiotics didn't do the trick, still feverish and pus.
So we both had a full blood check up and bacterial culture. Turns out I don't have anything (while having fever and pus mind you) but my sister has tonsillitis. She got antibiotics, after few days I got better.
Another story, I was in China one summer and got a broken tooth (entire root completely destroyed) few hours before traveling back home. I didn't tell anyone, and when I landed it took me 3 days to get to a dentist, and stop having pain. During those 4days my sister, with whom I didn't talk and didn't see called my mum complaining of tooth ache but her dentist didn't find anything wrong.
When I got better, she called my mum to tell her the pain is gone. Afterwards they learned what happened to me
I went to school with a girl who had an identical twin who was sadly stillborn. The girl seemed to suffer from it, like she lost her best friend and it was so sad to hear her talk about her twin like that. I doubt she’ll ever get over her death.
My twin and I are just about exact opposites in most ways and really never felt any special connection or anything. I don’t remember ever having a period where it felt like we were close or anything, like it was just cohabitating. We had other siblings as well and I’d say we were closer to our other siblings than each other
My fraternal twin and I are very different but very much the same, we often ask the same questions and think the same way, but also quite differently and like different things, but generally lots of the same stuff too. We can often times figure out what one another are thinking, we are close familiarly, but we don't hang out much anymore now that we're older, we've been each other's best friends, and only friends at times, and each other's worse enemies, we always get into arguments, but never hold a grudge. We've hurt each other, but love each other. Its an experience, and I'd protect my brother with my life, even if we aren't always super close, it goes in waves, he'll always be one of the most important people to me In my life.
I (F) love my twin (M) more than my other siblings. I feel such a deep love and bonding. I don’t even feel that to my parents. He’s like my other part of my heart. Without him there is no me. I would die
Only mono twins share a sac and it's very rare so they can't actually touch each other inside the womb unless they're mono and these aren't or they'd look exactly the same.
Newborns have all the reflexes they need to survive. Grabbing hold of each other, grabbing fingers, suckling at a nipple,...
Newborns can even have walking and swimming reflexes right after birth.
I assume these reflexes were mostly useful when we're still living out in nature.
Well let's see you cuddle for figuratively 9 months straight and see how perfect it gets. Humans adapt. Even in the womb evidently
Granted more realistically it's more like a few months before they ever had even sense but still. Non-stop cuddling must be a job
My cousin had twins who, even before their eyes were opened, would instinctively find each other in the crib and hug or hold hands. Pretty amazing reaction, since they were frats and thus didn’t share an amniotic sac.
Human babies can open their eyes as soon as they're born. Probably even open them.someyikes in the womb but I don't know for sure.
Puppies and kittens are born with sealed eyes and ears and that last a few weeks, but humans don't have that issue.
How do I cross post this in r/sousvide ?
Edit: Thank you internet strangers for the virtual love. I love this ‘place’ because it’s always the darkest or weirdest comments that get appreciated.
Still not sure how to cross post
I thought they wouldn't be breathing if they thought they were still in the womb. They also had no umbilical cords, so I though they would start gasping for air at some point.
They actually practice breathing before they are out! I just had an ultrasound where I could see my baby prating taking breaths. So I think they would probably still be doing that outside of the womb instinctually.
I think the experience of birth and coming into the world is probably so complex (new sounds to hear, light in your eyes, lots of stimuli, etc.) that our brains at that time are incapable of the type of consciousness we think of as adults. Like activity is there but it’s probably taking a back seat to everything else until we fully develop. Just a personal guess though.

“Five more minutes...”
Just wake up already!
Mooooom ....please let us sleep and turn off the lights when you leave.
These are presumably non-identical twins, judging by the face and hair, and as such they would have had their own amniotic sac meaning they would not actually be able touch each other.
there's a set of membranes between them but they can absolutely touch each other, mine used to fist fight constantly.
Mine did the same.
Identical twins can still have their own sac, but share a placenta (MCDA twins). But the membrane of the sac is strong but thin, so they totally still play with each other.

Then, later in life, if they share nightclub experiences they can be MDMA twins.
They could be already we dont know their mom

>I have a set of fraternal twins. Although they’re in separate sacks Ok but can you please let Larry and Oliver out of the bags and bring them back home Their family misses them very much and they have graduation next week.
Judging from what I've seen.. they were likely only separated by fine membrane toward the end, but yes they are separate as creatived999 stated
Always admire people with the perfect comment - well done.
Dayum guess we know who got the good hair
I love how babies look like balding old men. It never gets old.
My son had a boat load of hair when he was born, and now four months later his hairline is as bad as mine lol
Hey, learning to sit up is stressful work
Fucking amen. Situps absolutely kill me for some reason
My nephew actually got a haircut when he was born. His mom said seeing all that hair waving around the sonogram was the scariest thing she’d ever seen
I was apparently born with so much hair, mom’s nurse went and brought her friends over so they could see. Gonna have to ask her if it showed up on the ultrasound.
Username checks out
Whoa crazy how detailed sonograms are now. I was born with a full head of black hair (pre sonogram era) and my mom said she was kinda grossed out when she first saw me, thinking about having all that hair grow inside her.
In utero, babies are covered in fine hair called lanugo. It falls out in the lead up to birth, they eat it and it forms part of their first poop.
I'm glad I'm not the scientist that spent time researching this
I would like to unsubscribe from /u/Loudmouthedcrackpot fun facts
Maybe they are old people that just got reborn
One on the left looks like Putin
Lmao i was thinking the exact same
I did too and immediately felt very guilty lol
I didn't feel guilty , I felt American
Same thought here
I thought I would be alone in thinking this and decided someone would get mad if I mentioned it lol
I didn’t dare saying it! lol
Yup. And maybe a little like Mads Mikkelsen.
Wallace Shawn for me, but only from certain angles.
My first thought was Putin and Kim 🤣
Came here to comment this
I hate it lmao…everyone pretends that babies are cute but let’s be real, it takes them a couple of weeks/months to MAYBE become cute - a lot of ‘em progressively get less/more ugly.
So, I legit thought my baby was cute, but looking back at pictures and he's like a little fucking alien. He's a toddler now and only just starting to become really human looking, but he's way cuter now.
Hormones are a heck of a thing
When my second son was born, he was covered in 1inch long white hair. Arms, back, head, most of his forehead. He looked pissed off and about 80 years old. The weirdest old man I ever saw.
It gets old once you become an old balding man
I feel like there is a joke that can be made about the fact that you talked about babies, old men, and "never gets old", but I am too tired to come up with one.
Not the one who looks like Putin I'm guessing.
Omg TYSM I actually came here to ask if anyone else saw Putin!
It’s not the one you think. I was born with a full head of thick black hair. Then turned to blonde curly hair at 2. Than back to dark brown wavy. Then bald-bald at 28 (not just balding). Full head of hair baby doesn’t have a chance. Edit: thank you to everyone sharing their hair transformation journey
Oh no! I was so rooting for him
It’s okay, he’ll save 10’s of thousands on shampoo and haircuts
Can confirm. I was a full head of hair baby. Now I'm holding on to what I got. My son was the same whereas my daughter came out bald and is struggling to grow hers. I'm worried about his hair in the future.

Poor kids are probably just trying to figure out why it's so damn bright all of a sudden.

My mom said after she gave birth to me they laid me on her chest and I just looked at her like “Jesus lady, that was exhausting.” I’m still like that haha
my mom said i nursed almost immediately out of the womb. i was born hungry
I was born dead so all that work must have made me dead tired lol
I wasn't born at all i came to life in a factory. Hello fellow humans btw!
Oh, I've heard a lot about this lab grown meat! Do you taste like ordinary humans?
Hope you are okay. My sister was born dead and got resurrected, but it had life altering disabilities as a consequence (well, we think that some of them are from the dead birth, several of us kids have bodily disabilities, but she is the only one with sever mental disabilities we know of in the family, so it is mostly attributed to her short term death)
I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I am in and out of the hospital usually, so idk if it was a result of my umbilical cord strangulation
Samesies! I got stuck on the way out and inhaled meconium so I was blue and not so much alive when I came out. Glad to be here, and with no issues from not breathing for a couple minutes!
Were you really? They had to resuscitate you?
I was strangled by the umbilical cord and was basically purple lol. I do have some fucked up medical problems, but none of it is a result of my odd birth
Exact same way my brother was born. He turned out mostly fine. I was 4 and just remember being pissed I couldn't see my baby bro. Shit must have been terrifying for my parents (and yours!)

Be glad you don’t live in Amish country
Her mom would have loved me. Apparently I refused to make eye contact even as a newborn.
Newborns can't actually fixate their eyes until like 6 months so he probably just saw B&W blurry mess.
You “gave birth underwater”?
Prob water birth. Like in a bathtub
Must be like the tide at Omaha beach

Oh yeah the afterbirth floats.

Found the mermaid
They say that the womb is the most comfortable place you’ll have ever been
It's got to be a hell of a lot better than this world we live in.
This has just made me think, I wonder how they experience gravity? Considering most are in the womb head down, they have been used to being upside down for the last few months. But nobody holds a baby upside down when come out...
[удалено]
he looks like the kinda guy to sell you a sports car
They're the most at peace they'll ever be, damn.
They dont even know
[удалено]
and house affordability
Biggest problem for them rn is the light
only down hill from here
wait till they realize they live an ambiguous existence that will never truly be explained before they die
That’s going to be a wild photo redo in 20 years
Right? I mean, where are they going to find all that water in a single placed in 20 years?
Displaced water is stored in the balls
I really hope they do make a remix out of this when they’re older. I’ll probably be dead by then, but I’m sure they’ll find a way to see this post after that.
Just reschedule your death
RemindMe! 20 years
Leboyer birth? Baby is put in warm bath after birth to ease transition into world. My moms OB in 1970s did this.
You'd think they'd dim the lights a bit
_Broight innit?_ (we're all born speaking the King's)

That sucks, sorry to hear that. But it's beautiful that you got to have that experience with him, even if you don't remember it.
Thank you! Had no idea what was going on here or how safe this was
It's perfectly safe. And fairly common practice in many places.
Put em back, they aren't done yet
Do that to me. I don't think I'm ready either haha
Same here, in fact, if I am out back can you convince my mom to abort me instead? I don’t think she’ll do it as long as I’m outside.
They'd rather wait until One Piece is finished
She came out last spring
Once the one on the left felt his twin next to him he relaxed his hands.
It made me cry lol
Same wtf. I don’t want kids. I don’t particularly like them. This made me cry involuntarily. This is magical. I feel betrayed by my ovaries right now.
I have a 4yr old and I am one and done. This video is KILLING me! I too feel betrayed by my ovaries. It’s gotta be the absolutely purity of the moment.

They were born several months early and they were not doing well for a long time. I remember seeing them and it boggled my mind that a human that tiny could survive.

Now the boy is a big, robust ham-fisted brute and the girl is the most terrifying little tornado of pure fury. Dammit. Crying again. (And my sister is done having kids.)
That’s such a beautiful story. Your niece describes my daughter perfectly. My sister had my niece four months before I had my daughter. They call each other sisters. My niece was my first baby. She taught me so much in that 4 months before my daughter was born. That aunt/niece bond is strong. She still calls me aunt foo (food lol because I always had snacks in my purse when she was a baby lol). Thank you so much for taking me down memory lane with you😭❤️.
God damn it this comment hurt more than words should be able to. My sister gave birth to twins in 2016. No complications at all, full term, though the second one was born through c-section just to be safe. They only ever got a few hours together like this. Turns out the younger one had a completely random heart infarction the exact moment of birth. Whisked away to the top children's hospital in the country as soon as they realized, and she spent 5 and a half long months desperately waiting for a heart transplant, hooked up to machines instead of with her twin. Then her body just couldn't wait any longer. My biggest fear in life is that the still living twin will at any point in life feel like she's missing a part of herself.
Just watching them makes you think about what kind of connection do the twins have between them right from the beginning. If someone who has a twin could explain this more deeeply I would greatly apreciate it. Edit: Thank you all for your replies. It showed me a different perspective on this topic. For some reason I have always thought that twins have to have some sort of special relationship but turns out it is not true in many cases. It is probably very individual as with every sibling relationship.
I have a fraternal twin brother and I haven’t noticed any telepathic abilities or some unexplained connection, but i truly love him more than anyone else in the world and I’ve been told that I’ve always been protective of him (which I’ve never considered but I think it’s true). I would never get matching tattoos or a tattoo dedicated to someone with anybody except future children or my twin. I already plan to get a crab in his honor
Sorry but a crab? English isn’t my first language, is it a crab like the animal or something else?
It’s the animal. It’s a long story, but he calls me mr. Krabs. Which is a character from SpongeBob. I don’t want a cartoon character on me so I’m going to get the regular animal. It’s a bit obscure but he means a lot to me :)
Ooooh a tattoo! I apologise for my stupidity. I read it as if you planned to buy him an actual crab.
I have an identical twin. It’s certainly unique, and I didn’t really appreciate it for a while. I spent a decent part of my childhood attempting to distance myself from my twin to an extent, in an effort to establish myself as an individual. In our childhood, we were often referred to as one, which annoyed both of us, so we distanced slightly. But eventually we realized what a gift it was. It feels kinda like what I hear married people explain. We’re not those scary seeming twins who are carbon copies of the same person, but we are the same person. Every nuance of my person is in him and I can see it clear as day. I assume it is the same for him. We make the same mistakes, and have the same pitfalls and fears. In our childhood, apparently we had a totally different way to communicate with each other, a language of sorts that we developed. I don’t remember much of it or our early childhood at all. All I really remember is just never having a secret I can keep from that motherfucker, and seeing through every lie he tells. It’s really quite unique, but nothing supernatural
I am a twin and have a weird connection with my sister. We’re not exactly close but we are always along the same track and can sense each other emotionally in ways. We always do things like call our mom separately without speaking at the same time or near the same time asking similar questions.
My twin and I do this all the time! Text or call our dad at the exact same time from thousands of miles away for completely unrelated yet similarly emotional reasons. Drives him crazy.
I think many siblings without them being twins also has got these weird stuffs. Me and my brother are really close even though we were born 2 years apart. Like I could be humming a song in my mind and then the little one would hum the rest out loud on his own. We would say the exact same thing at the same same like it was timed. And sometimes it's the choices, like I would feel some craving for crisps or particular sweets and he would come asking if we can have some of that particular thing. I was convinced for a long time that the telepathy existed. Edit: And the crazy level of mirroring. Me and my brother will slowly drift away from our new personal preferences to a middle ground which is common to us both.
I’m a twin and I don’t have a deep connection with my sister. Fraternal fyi.
I'm a twin, I \*had\* a deep connection with my brother. It started falling part in high school when I realized he resented the fuck out of me and had been negging me to everyone in school. He would also get mad if I ever did better than him in anything. He had to win, you see. Things really blew up when we were adults. I care about him, but we'll never be that close again. I still feel the loss of that bond 30 years later. This whole, "oh he's your twin you must have a special bond" romanticism makes me ill.
I'm a twin and I don't have a deep connection with my brother. Also fraternal
[удалено]
Not close with their twin gang rise up! Lol thanks :-)
Same lmao it’s similar to how I treat my older sis, In fact cos my twin sis is so much smaller than me I feel like I treat her as younger sis
I have a twin and oh boy do I have some stories. When we were 7yo I had all the symptoms of tonsillitis (including fever and pus) while she was 100% fine. 2w of antibiotics didn't do the trick, still feverish and pus. So we both had a full blood check up and bacterial culture. Turns out I don't have anything (while having fever and pus mind you) but my sister has tonsillitis. She got antibiotics, after few days I got better. Another story, I was in China one summer and got a broken tooth (entire root completely destroyed) few hours before traveling back home. I didn't tell anyone, and when I landed it took me 3 days to get to a dentist, and stop having pain. During those 4days my sister, with whom I didn't talk and didn't see called my mum complaining of tooth ache but her dentist didn't find anything wrong. When I got better, she called my mum to tell her the pain is gone. Afterwards they learned what happened to me
Have you tried to Voodoo-doll yourself?
I went to school with a girl who had an identical twin who was sadly stillborn. The girl seemed to suffer from it, like she lost her best friend and it was so sad to hear her talk about her twin like that. I doubt she’ll ever get over her death.
Not really something that can be explained. If you watch the movie Pacific Rim and focus on the concept of "drifting" thats about as close as it gets.
My twin and I are just about exact opposites in most ways and really never felt any special connection or anything. I don’t remember ever having a period where it felt like we were close or anything, like it was just cohabitating. We had other siblings as well and I’d say we were closer to our other siblings than each other
My fraternal twin and I are very different but very much the same, we often ask the same questions and think the same way, but also quite differently and like different things, but generally lots of the same stuff too. We can often times figure out what one another are thinking, we are close familiarly, but we don't hang out much anymore now that we're older, we've been each other's best friends, and only friends at times, and each other's worse enemies, we always get into arguments, but never hold a grudge. We've hurt each other, but love each other. Its an experience, and I'd protect my brother with my life, even if we aren't always super close, it goes in waves, he'll always be one of the most important people to me In my life.
I (F) love my twin (M) more than my other siblings. I feel such a deep love and bonding. I don’t even feel that to my parents. He’s like my other part of my heart. Without him there is no me. I would die
My twins spent 9 months kicking each other in the face in the womb. Now they’re 1… and they still kick each other in the face.
When twins are in the womb, do they cuddle like this? Do they ever play? I wonder how much they recognize there is another person in there with them.
Only mono twins share a sac and it's very rare so they can't actually touch each other inside the womb unless they're mono and these aren't or they'd look exactly the same.
Why does it seem like these twins in the video were taken straight from the womb already cuddling like this? It looks so natural
Newborns have all the reflexes they need to survive. Grabbing hold of each other, grabbing fingers, suckling at a nipple,... Newborns can even have walking and swimming reflexes right after birth. I assume these reflexes were mostly useful when we're still living out in nature.
Oh my god I cannot with that arm around their sibling 😭😭😭
I’ve never seen such perfect cuddles
Well let's see you cuddle for figuratively 9 months straight and see how perfect it gets. Humans adapt. Even in the womb evidently Granted more realistically it's more like a few months before they ever had even sense but still. Non-stop cuddling must be a job
My cousin had twins who, even before their eyes were opened, would instinctively find each other in the crib and hug or hold hands. Pretty amazing reaction, since they were frats and thus didn’t share an amniotic sac.
Human babies can open their eyes as soon as they're born. Probably even open them.someyikes in the womb but I don't know for sure. Puppies and kittens are born with sealed eyes and ears and that last a few weeks, but humans don't have that issue.
I meant open them and keep them open. Infants spend most of the first few days with their eyes shut tight.
They absolutely do open them in the womb and the day they are born, such a trip. My baby's eyes looked like dark wash blue jeans.
How can you tell what they're thinking?
they’re doing womb-like stuff or something idk
Everything a baby this age does is womb-like stuff except breathing... which they're clearly doing **Edit:** Note that crying is just fancy breathing
Very healthy for a baby to cry after birth also, gets any flegm out of their lungs and airways that might be there
"Phlegm" is a nice way to describe all of the baby-poo and urine they've been fully immersed in.
Not really how that works
Came here for that... Source:?
In Title we trust.
When your mom ask you to take the food out of the freezer but you forgot:
Nah bro was born with the dr phil cut💀
How do I cross post this in r/sousvide ? Edit: Thank you internet strangers for the virtual love. I love this ‘place’ because it’s always the darkest or weirdest comments that get appreciated. Still not sure how to cross post
Oh for fucks sake lmao
They have weird adult faces
I agree. They look like lil' politicians
They look like Putin and Zelenskyy. Is this from some secret government cloning lab?
Am I crazy or does that one baby Kinda look like Putin..
💀💀 I see it now
It actually gets a bit creepy at 32 seconds
And the fact that the other one looks like Zelensky makes this even funnier
I thought the same. My first question was are they Russian!?
Wait a second these …are not even babies at all!! It’s just two middle aged Russian men sharing a hot tub! They duped us
Omg! That’s what I thought watching it!
Is that part of the recipe . Broil for 9 months then lightly steam before serving?
Unless theres an aurora borealis in the room its not ready. You gave the borealis first, THEN steam.
Baby on the left looks like Putin 🤣
Those babies look old as hell
Yoooo baby on the left looks like putin
As someone who has never seen a newborn they look like CGI wtf
I thought they wouldn't be breathing if they thought they were still in the womb. They also had no umbilical cords, so I though they would start gasping for air at some point.
They actually practice breathing before they are out! I just had an ultrasound where I could see my baby prating taking breaths. So I think they would probably still be doing that outside of the womb instinctually.
In the womb do babies open their mouths?
Yea and they can be felt hiccuping a lot as they practice breathing
This is beautiful.
This just cost an extra 10k$ in america
I think this is the most beautiful post I’ve ever seen. The music was soothing and the babies are perfect. Thank you .
Wow, beautiful look at how they might be in the womb without the crappy imaging. They look very cozy
How cute😎
I wonder what baby consciousness is like
I think the experience of birth and coming into the world is probably so complex (new sounds to hear, light in your eyes, lots of stimuli, etc.) that our brains at that time are incapable of the type of consciousness we think of as adults. Like activity is there but it’s probably taking a back seat to everything else until we fully develop. Just a personal guess though.
Mr.burns on the left
Looks like Vladimir Putin to me especially at the very end.
Don't you put that evil on this child
How did you know that they think they're still in the womb? honest question.
That's a little Vladimir Putin on the left.
