Mono/mono twins

bagel37bagel37 member
in April 2015 Moms
I'm having twins!

First, that's very exciting. Second, I've been told they are identical ... Also very exciting. Third, apparently they are mono/mono (or mo-mo) twins.

Any other twin moms-to-be know what type of twins they are having? Any other mo-mo twin moms? I'm a little overwhelmed with all the information regarding mo-mo twins and how high risk they are.

*** for those that don't know, mo-mo twins means the have 2 embryos and umbilical cords, but share everything else. Thus, they can touch each other and become entangled ******

    Congrats. Ohh and they can also talk to each other and laugh together. Lol. Jk. Sorry I had to throw that in there. I was just watching "Look who's Talking" with John Travolta. That movie always give me a good laugh. Especially now.

    Thanks everyone. It is very exciting to have twins that will be so closely connected... But it's just worrisome as to all the risk factors and complications that can arise.

    At least the good news is, I can expect to be off work at 25 weeks!! Extra maternity leave? Good thing I have excellent coverage

    That's amazing. It always nice to hear happy ending stories. I'm expecting to deliver around 32 weeks.

    We are expecting mo-di twins, also considered high risk but not nearly as much as mo-mo. We are constantly at the OBs office or specialist.

    I'm not having tines, but my sister had mo-mo twins that are now 8. She went into hospital care at 24 weeks and delivered at 32 weeks. The twins were both a fairly good size and she/they didn't have any significant complications. I wish you the very best happy and healthy pregnancy!
