What are the three types of twins?
There is Identical twins, Nonidentical twins and Conjoined twins.
What is the difference between idetical and non idetical twins in the way they are found?
The difference between Identical and Non-Identical twins is that Identical twins share the same placenta and are basically identical to one another. Non-Identical twins do not share the same placenta in the womb and two eggs fertilized at time of conception as opposed to one egg splitting in the case of Identical twins. I think that covers the basics. Hope this has clarified things for you.
Why do fraternal twins have their own placenta?
Identical twins may or may not share the same placenta . Identical twins develop when a fertilized egg splits. Depending on when the split occurs will determine if the twins share a placenta, with either one or two chorions and amnions, or if they each develop their own placentas.
How Do Fraternal Twins Occur and Identical Twins Occur?
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.

I'm pregnant with twins. How do I know if I'm having identical or fraternal twins?
The ultrasound can determine if they are fraternal or identical. If they are identical then they will share a placenta and they may even share an amniotic sac. If they are fraternal they will have separate placentas. Sometimes it is difficult to see because of the membrane but the ultrasound is sophisticated and they normally can tell.
