Not necessarily. Different placentas have different levels of function.
Yes, twins can have separate placentas. In cases of fraternal twins, each baby typically has its own placenta. However, in cases of identical twins, they may share a single placenta.
Literally, having two chorions and two placentas -- used especially of human fraternal twins. That is to say, not identical twins growing in a single sac, but two completely separate fetuses with separate placentas.
Yes, identical twins can have separate sacs and placentas, which is known as dichorionic-diamniotic twins. This occurs when the fertilized egg splits into two embryos early in development, resulting in each twin having its own sac and placenta.
Triplets occur when three separate eggs are fertilized by three separate sperm cells. Each fertilized egg develops into its own distinct embryo, resulting in three babies developing simultaneously in the womb. Triplets can be fraternal (developed from three separate eggs) or identical (developed from one fertilized egg that splits into three embryos).
Yes, twins who share the same placenta are more likely to have similar health outcomes compared to twins with separate placentas. This is because they may have a closer genetic makeup and shared environment in the womb, which can influence their health outcomes.
Yes, fraternal twins sharing a placenta have a higher risk of complications during pregnancy compared to those with separate placentas. This is because they may experience unequal sharing of nutrients and blood supply, leading to potential growth discrepancies and other complications.
No, identical twins do not always share a placenta. In some cases, identical twins may have separate placentas.
Yummy!
No.
No, twins can either share the same placenta (monochorionic) or have separate placentas (dichorionic), depending on whether they are identical or fraternal twins.
Dog puppies have their own placentas. If the litter is 4 pups, then there will be 4 placentas (afterbirths).
