Yesterday Mr.PureAnarchy and I watched this absolutely amazing, intriguing, visually awe striking documentary on "In the Womb : Multiples" on National Geographic Channel. While our 'sitting-together-and-watching-TV' days are far and few these days, we had put this one on our agenda to specially it watch together. Using revolutionary 4-D scans they showed unique footage of how fetues mark their journey from inception to birth - their fight for space and nourishment during gestation and their final journey into the outside world. Some key take-aways:
1. It was fascinating to see how humans first interact with their siblings even before entering the world outside - reaching, touching, pushing and even engaging in some game playing that continues after they are born
2. The personalities they develop in adult life are to large extent groomed in the womb.
3. 95% of all multiple births in United States are twins and it has increased by 400% from 1980-1998.
4. The record number of human fetuses in one womb at any one time is 15
This gave us a good prelude to life ahead with Arin and Riya...
