There are many blood vessels on the surface of the uterus which 'feed' the placenta. In the umbilical cord there are usually two arteries and one vein, the arteries taking deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta and one vein taking oxygentated blood fron the placenta to the fetus. Occasionally there nmay be only a single umbilical artery which may be a sign of a kideny malformation in the fetus.

What is a blighted ovum which is the reason your Dr. said you had a miscarriage?

A blighted ovum is when the sperm and egg meet and implant - the yolk sac grows, but usually no fetal pole (no baby) or sometimes there is a fetal pole, with no heartbeat. You still feel very pregnant because you have the pregnancy hormone due to the placenta beginning to form. You may miscarry naturally, but sometimes that takes weeks.

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.
