What else can I help you with?
In the case of twins, is it common for them to have two separate sacs?
Yes, it is common for twins to have two separate sacs in a pregnancy, known as dichorionic diamniotic twins.
Does 2 sacs and one placenta mean fraternal twins?
I am pretty sure because that is how my twins are at the moment that one placenta and two sacs mean identical twins more often than fraternal and more often identical if they are the same sex
Can you tell your having triplets at 6 weeks pregnant?
No No Not true. I am living proof, got an ultrasound thinking that I was 8 weeks pregnant to detect a heartbeat, only surprise I was in fact only 6 weeks pregnant with three amniotic sacs with three embryo's meaning triplets. However, I have to wait yet again to detect any heartbeat activity.
If you have twins in separate yolk sacs is this good?
yes
How does the development of twins with two sacs and one placenta differ from twins with separate placentas?
Twins with two sacs and one placenta, known as monochorionic diamniotic twins, share a placenta but have separate sacs. This type of twin development carries a higher risk of complications compared to twins with separate placentas, known as dichorionic diamniotic twins. The shared placenta in monochorionic twins can lead to potential issues such as unequal sharing of nutrients and blood flow, which may require closer monitoring and medical intervention during pregnancy.
Can identical twins have separate sacs and 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.
Do twins need to be in the same sac to be identical?
No, identical twins can be in the same or separate sacs. Identical twins form when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos. Whether they share the same sac or have separate sacs is determined by when the split occurs during development.
Can a woman have 2 amniotic sacs?
Yes, a woman can have two amniotic sacs, which typically occurs in the case of a multiple pregnancy, such as twins. Each fetus can develop in its own amniotic sac, a condition known as dichorionic-diamniotic twins. This situation allows each fetus to have its own space and fluid, reducing the risk of complications associated with shared sacs. However, not all twins will have separate sacs; some may share one, leading to different classifications of twin pregnancies.
Twins who delevelop in separate amniotic sacs?
Twins who develop in separate amniotic sacs are known as dizygotic or fraternal twins. This means they were conceived from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells. Dizygotic twins can have different genetic makeup and are no more similar than siblings born at different times.
Do twins have one amniotic sack or two?
If you mean identical twins, they can be in one sac (1) or each in their own sac (2). As for fraternal twins, they each have their own sacs (2).
Why would you have two amniotic sacs?
Having two amniotic sacs, known as a "double" or "dual" amniotic sac, can occur when a woman is pregnant with multiples (e.g., twins). Each fetus typically develops its own amniotic sac. This situation is more common in dizygotic (fraternal) twins than in monozygotic (identical) twins.
When can you know about twin pregnancy?
I found out i was pregnant with my twins at 3 weeks. I got a positive pregnancy test at 2 weeks due to higher levels of HCG in my urine and then began bleeding so went to the ER and they done an ultrasound. You could see the gestational sacs, but not the fetal poles yet.
