Mo-Mo Twins?????

we had our 2nd u/s on tuesday, 12/8 and received devestating news.  the RE was not able to find a heartbeat (7w4d).  last week there was only one fetal pole in the sac and yesterday and it appears the embryo split so 2 in the same sac.  she was not find any activity and told me that twins in the same sac are very hard to carry to term and most end in a miscarriage.  My RE has recommended either a D&C or wait for a natural miscarrige (no thanks).

I've been doing research and these twins are called Mono-Mono twins (Monoamniotic-Monochorionic or "Mo-Mo" twins).

Is anyone familiar with these types of twin? 

I am scheduled to have another U/S next week before a D&C just to be sure.

thanks for listening...........

    I carried Mo-Mo twins and didnt know it was such a big deal until about 2yrs ago.  My dr. told me there were more risks involved and I had an U/S every.single week from 15wks on but was so busy and tired from working and being a new mom of our son who was only 4months old when we got pg again that I didnt think to question him.  I trusted everything he told me and he wasnt overly concerned.  I asked him later about it (he is my reg. obgyn as well) and he said that he almost never talks about chances of m/c because he has found it only causes the mom to worry and stress more and that is not going to help in a high risk pg. 

    Im sorry you are going through this.  (((HUGS))))

  • I'm very sorry. I think I can understand the pain you're probably feeling.
