When my son was born several years ago, I
had an extra bag of water. How often does
this happen? What causes this?

Maybe it was a paristic twin?

I had the same thing! I asked my doc at
my 6 week post partum and they have no
idea why. They said it's possible it was
a vanishing twin, but as I had my first
u/s at 5w preggo and saw only 1 they're
really not certain. They say it's rare
but does happen. You're actually the
first other person i've heard of that it's
happened to. I thought I was weird.
Lol

A lady that works for the agency I work
for is in her 50's. She is a .Big woman.
She started having more problems moving
around. She got winded more easily, and
was having a lot of pain in her abdomen.
She went to a couple of docs, got some
various opinions on what could be causing
all of the pain.
She was told she had a huge cyst on her
ovary, so they scheduled surgery to get it
out. When they got in there to remove it
they found it had hair and what resembled
teeth. She was told it was her twin that
she absorbed while she was in embryo.
They also used the term vanishing twin.
It weighed 60 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! I
didn't see pics for myself, but she showed
some of her peers. I had never heard of
it.

oh yes, this is a rare event and I
remember there was a tv program about it
here in england a few months ago. I was
fascinated and checked it on the net.
Found some details on: http://www.Pregnancy-bliss.Co.U
k
search for the medical term fetus in fetu.
Fascinating indeed!
