We received big news today....Twin Q

in Success after IF

I went for my second sonogram at 8.5 weeks, and we found out we are having identical twins.  We have been trying for baby # 2 for 2 years now.  The sonogram two week ago only showed one baby.  Anyway, do Identical twins always share the same sac?  I thought they are supposed to form their own sacs.  Ours are in just one sac, and we don't know if there is a membrane in between them yet. 

 

Thanks!

    It depends on when they split.  Some have their own sacs and placentas, some have their own sac and share a placenta, and then there are the ones that share both.

    Congratulations!  Most ID twins will develop a membrane that divides the sac (usually seen via u/s around 12-18 weeks) and will be mono/di twins.  If you post over on the multiples board the great ladies there have a diagram to explain :)

    My girls were mono/di and they required a little bit more monitoring and my Dr delivered mono/di at 37 weeks and di/di at 38.  Not too much difference.

    My girls were Mono/di, they were in the same sac but had a membrane, shared a placenta, which is where my issues came in. Savannah baby A was getting more than baby B.

    Please make sure you see a MFM and not just an OB, ID twins can be scary pregnancies.

    But ID twins are awesome :) wouldn't change a thing!!

    if you get bored I talk all about the pregnancy in my blog and everything I went through.
