    True story: a distant relative of mine married a Romanian many years ago – still lives there. Her children are all above the age of 34. After her healthy first born, she became pregnant with twin boys nearly 40 years ago. Alas, as with many twins, she had started labour early and gave birth at 7 months. One boy she saw was deceased and was able to hold/see him; the other had ‘health complications’, and they took him away. Three days later, they came to her and told her that he too had passed away; this time, she was unable to see him. To this day, in her heart she believes and feels only with a mother’s instinct that he’s still alive. And why was she unable to see him?… I’ve asked her this, and her reply was that they gave no reason during this communist era of Ceaucescu, and that you just went with what they said, or else. She believes many women were given c-sections even when they didn’t require them due to corruption of staff and these similar outcomes… or perhaps worse.
