Any MoMs of mo/mo twins?

A co-worker of mine had her 3rd u/s this week (she is 13w) and confirmed her twins are mo/mo.  She is beyond scared.  They are saying she will be on hospital bedrest at 26w.  She has a DD who will be 2 in November and she is so worried and sad about being away from her while on bedrest.  And, of course, she is worried about the health of her twins.  I'd love to share some positive stories with her.  Did anyone have a couple of u/s showing mo/mo and then have an u/s after 13w showing mo/di?  Please share.  TIA.

  • We didn't find one until about 23 weeks, but then, we were looking for two separate dividing membranes.

  • Didn't see our membrane until 16 weeks!

  • I spent three hours at the perinatologist today while they measured my very "wiggly" twelve and a half week babies.  They switched to a transvaginal, and I had to actually stay in a bridge position (hips up, shoulders down) for them to detect a very narrow membrane.  If they had been in more of a rush, they certainly could have missed it.  Good luck!

  • Did they do an abdominal u/s or a transvaginal?  At 13 weeks my membrane could not be found until they did a transvaginal.  It's definitely early to be that definitive.
  • She still has lots of time to find one!!!

  • She definitely has time.  My girls were diagnosed as mo/mo until 15 weeks.  The division was so hard to see that throughout my entire pregnancy, ultrasounds took forever because I had to be in the exact right position to see it.
