Mono-Mono twins

Does anyone here have or is anyone expecting mono-mono (monoamniotic/monochorionic) twins? I had an early ultrasound this week that shows mono-mono twins and I am terrified after hearing the stats and risks. I have already seen a maternal-fetal specialist and he told me the facts but I would like to hear from someone who is going thorugh or has gone through this, too.

Thanks.

    Mo-Mo twins..are very rare...Sweater had them on this board as did several other women...I'm sure they will see this post and offer you their support. Do know that a lot of us were diagnosed with Mo-Mo twins, but they did later discover a separating membrane....I know I was diagnosed as such until they found my membrane when I was hospitalized at 21.5 weeks for a rescue cerclage..THANK goodness b/c at that time I didn't need any more 'complications' or stress.

    Congrats on your pg..twins are fabouls and worth ALL the work you do during your pregnancy.

    My girls were momo. PM me if you have any questions. How far along are you? Most of the time it takes a while to find a membrane. I suggest checking out monoamniotic.org. It is a great resource.?

    Thank you! I am just 7 1/2 - they did an ultrasound at 6 1/2 weeks because of a previous M/C. Seeing that you both have beautiful, healthy babies makes me feel better. I go back to the Dr. on Friday for my 8-week appt. We'll see if anything changes.
