Diamniotic Monochorioinc Twin Pregnancy?
Hi all
We just had the 12 week scan today.
We were told that there was a T sign present. There appears to be a single placenta suggesting a diamniotic monochorionic twin pregnancy.
We asked if that meant they were identical, but she just said, not really.
Can anyone tell me what it does mean.
Thanks
Confused.:\?

I understand that diamnitoc monochorionic twins are usually identical, they share placenta's but not sacks. If babies share placenta as seem to be in your case then they are nien times out of ten identical. However, even at 12 week scan it can be too soon to see if there is one placenta or two joined together, so they may do another scan to check later. I havent got a clue what the T sign means i ould suggest having a look on the TAMBA site, www.tamba.org.uk they are quite handy to join, as they have lots of info on twins and more and also you receive vouchers and things towards the cost of puschairs etc..
Sorry i cant be more helpful but hope that helps a bit.

The fact they are diamniotic is a v good sign as id twins develop much better if they have their own sac.
You shd be offered another scan at 16 weeks to check they are monochorionic then she shd be scanned every 2 weeks from 20weeks at the latest as with id pg their is a risk of twin to twin transfusion whic if caught early enough can be corrected. (TTS is where 1 takes more nutrients so grows quick, whilst other isdeprived. I developed this towards end of my pg, but all ok in end)

I actually had a monoamiontic monochorionic pregnancy (one amniotic sac only). It was pretty high risk & I was scanned twice a week in the later stages. It's much better if there is a dividing membrane (dioamniotic), so it's good that you have that type. That said everything worked out fine for me, although I did have to have them early.

Anyway - good luck and if your babies move about as much as mine you will have great fun!!
Now it may have been just one egg. Still not sure as our twins specialist is on holiday and were not seeing him until 2 weeks time. The next scan is'nt until late march. Should we push for an earlier one.
Have'nt been told anything for certain.

Four angels MC/DA usually are delivered by 37.5 weeks, but much higher chance of them being delivered early if they are ID
