What is twin to twin transfusion?

Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome is a disease of the placenta in identical twins. The twins share both blood and nutrients. The placenta shunts more blood and nutrients to one twin while starving the other twin. There is only a 20% of survival and most all who survive are pre-term.

What is a dichorionic diamniotic DCDA twin pregnancy?

A dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy is a type of twin pregnancy where each fetus has its own separate placenta (dichorionic) and its own amniotic sac (diamniotic). This arrangement typically occurs when two separate eggs are fertilized and implant in the uterus, leading to fraternal twins. DCDA pregnancies are considered the lowest risk type for complications compared to other twin pregnancies, as each twin has its own placental and amniotic environment.


Can you explain the unique characteristics and potential health implications of shared placenta twins"?

Shared placenta twins, also known as monochorionic twins, have a single placenta that connects them in the womb. This can lead to a condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, where one twin receives more blood flow than the other. This imbalance can result in various health complications for both twins, such as growth restriction, organ damage, and even death. Monitoring and early intervention are crucial in managing the potential health implications of shared placenta twins.


Can you lose one twin without bleeding?
