In gestation, one twin cannot physically "hide" behind the other in a way that would obscure its existence entirely, as both embryos develop in the same amniotic sac (in the case of identical twins) or separate sacs (in fraternal twins). However, one twin may be smaller or less developed than the other, which can sometimes lead to difficulties in imaging or assessing the smaller twin during ultrasounds. This phenomenon is often referred to as "vanishing twin syndrome," where one twin is absorbed into the other or the surrounding tissue. Overall, while one twin might be less visible, both are present and developing.

If a cow has twins can the twin get pregnant?

Only if the twin is a heifer and if that twin has been tested negative for being a freemartin (IF she had been twinned with a bull calf). Twin heifers are both highly likely to get pregnant when they reach puberty.

How common are twin horses?

I'm not sure what the conception rate is, but I do know that twins often have to be aborted. The pair that aren't aborted will have I foal die and the other live. I think only 20% of twin foals are actually born alive.


When twin male calf are born is one or both sterile?

Fertility or sterility is not determined by birth circumstances. That is, just because an animal is born a twin, doesn't mean it will be sterile, or fertile. Being a twin has nothing to do with it.Another opinion:When twin bull calves are born neither are sterile, they're both fertile. The issue comes when the twin bull is born with a twin heifer, where there's a chance that she may be a freemartin and have a 90% chance of being sterile.


I was told two heifer calves born twins will not reproduce?

This is false. Both heifers will be reproductive later in life when they reach puberty.However, you will get a heifer that is sterile if she was born with a twin brother, not a twin sister. This is because the production of testosterone inhibits the normal production of estradiol, which decreases the heifer's ability to properly produce normal reproductive organs during the first trimester of gestation. This only occurs if both calves are sharing the same placenta. It's less likely for the heifer calf to be a freemartin or hermaphrodite if she and her brother have separate placentas, where they are fraternal twins, not maternal.

Can twins be missed at 12 week scan?

Yes, it is very common for one twin to hide behind the other and be missed on the scan. That's what happened to my best friend's mum, she went for a scan suspecting she was having twins, and they told her it was one baby, when she went for her 12 week, it turned out she was actually pregnant with triplets, they hid behind each other. Keep your fingers crossed & good luck xx

What are the unique characteristics and health implications of identical twins who share one placenta during gestation?

Identical twins who share one placenta during gestation are known as monochorionic twins. This means they have a higher risk of certain health complications compared to twins with separate placentas. These twins may be at risk for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, where one twin receives more blood flow than the other, leading to growth discrepancies and potential complications. Monitoring and early intervention are important to ensure the health and well-being of monochorionic twins.


How many gestation for twins?

Twins typically share a gestation period of about 37 weeks, which is slightly shorter than the average 40 weeks for a singleton pregnancy. While most twins are born prematurely, a gestation period of 34 to 36 weeks is common for many twin pregnancies. Factors such as maternal health and the type of twins (identical or fraternal) can also influence the length of gestation.

Can a twin hide during pregnancy?

yes it is very common. a friend of mine had ultra sounds all during her pregnancy and no one knew she was having twins until she gave birth to 2 kids... so it is very possible. Also my mother is a twin and no one saw her or herd her heart beat until 7 months into the pregnancy so the answer to this question for me is yes a twin can hide during pregnancy.
