I think you may have been pregnant with twins and for some reason the second baby didn't develop. You need an ultrasound and an obsetrician to ensure that the second placenta doesn't affect the blood flow to the growing baby. good luck joymaker rn

============================================

Sometimes a placenta can divide into 2 lobes. This is called a bi-partite placenta and can occur in a single pregnancy. At delivery, the midwife will check the placenta to ensure it is complete and no lobes have been left behind. A scan will sometimes be used to ensure all the placenta has been expelled. It doesn't mean that there was a twin pregnancy neccessarily. 3 lobes can develop - tri-partite placenta etc.

Is it common to have two placentas developing during pregnancy one empty and one with a live fetus What will happen to the empty sac as the pregnancy progresses?

It is not common, but it happens. You probably conceived twins and one did not develop, it is called a blighted ovum. If you had conceived a single baby and it had not developed you would have had a miscarriage, but the healthy fetus is preventing this. As the healthy baby grows the second placenta will probably be overtaken by the good one. An area of thickening may be found when you have your baby.
