Nimyra: That's a great sign with the morning sickness!!
It means that that baby will not come off that wall and is stuck like glue!! I'm so excited for you about your upcoming scan!!
Huge hugs and missing you lots
Raggydoll: How are you doing?
My next appointment is not until 12 weeks
With these types of twins, you start having weekly scans after week 12-14 when those cords and placenta become a messy problem. So instead of feeling better at that 12 week mark, it kind of gets scarier as time goes on with identical monoamniotic twins.
Nimyra: There's so much to consider. I kind of liken it to seeing these amazing cotton candy clouds just before the sky goes dark and there's a big F-5 tornado. That's kind of what I see when I look at my scan---these adorable babies who loooove each other and want to stay close (almost holding hands), but will the outcome be precarious?
I had a weird fascination with twin meiosis while studying biology...I couldn't believe that we still didn't really know why the identical egg splitting fluke happens, except that my age (egg is harder at age 34 and more prone to breaking in half) and my Nigerian friend Sharifah who gave me Cassava Yams at the mosque really helped. So the good news is I was familiar with Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, cord compression, and mo-mo entanglement.
At the VERY least, we know they're mo-di. She doesn't think they could possibly be di-di at this point because as with fraternals, the divide is apparent by now though the TWO placentas are not...they're still in their yolk sacs in this scan <-------- And of course there's no way they're fraternal as we would have seen two separate sacs and a nice thick line by now like this:

So, if they're mo-di, they also share the same placenta (scary as hell) and have a dividing membrane that could be little more than a flap. So of course, worries about Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome will come into play. I have goosebumps just thinking about the severe overlap of blood supply and high grade anastomoses (connections between the largest blood vessels) between these two babies. If one goes, the other almost surely follows him/her to death. Will sibling rivalry come into play or can they share nicely? There's a 15% chance they won't share nicely.
There's a 1% chance they're mo-mo and maybe about 70% that they're mo-di. So, very good news and many girls on Baby and Bump like Twinmummy06 didn't see the divide with her mo-di twins until 14 weeks. But, with my history of the 1 in a million chance of getting pregnant on the VERY freaking day I'm ovulating after taking the MAP within 12 hours....coupled with the shock of identical twins that do not run in either of our families and identicals are an absolutely random event anyway (no such thing as genetic)...I have no doubt they could be mo-mo.
We're preparing to be admitted to the hospital at 24 weeks until delivery at 32-34 weeks to monitor constantly for cord entanglement and figuring out the logistics for our son now....just in case.
We also have to pray they're girls even though I wanted at least one more boy because boys jumping around with cord entanglement is a problem....75% of mo-mo twins are girls for that reason. In general, more identical twins are girls than boys because the girls can survive some of these precarious events better. The Recipient Boy in Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome is much more of a thief than the Recipient Girl.
We also know they will deliver if perfect at 37 weeks...the fears are of course, will they make it to viability at 24 weeks and will they have a long stay in the NICU, will they even survive the NICU?
In the meantime, my mind races with strange thoughts. If they're viable and survive all this, they'll have children. But, their children will not be first cousins but half-siblings. And will those same children call their aunt "aunt-mom" since technically their aunt is also their real mother?
Maybe it's a good thing.
I'm SO happy to hear that you're slowly moving away from seeing the blood, did they ever determine a reason for it? 
here and hope you have an easy and safe journey
