Identical Twins

[TonyaG]

Hello!! I just found out last week that I am having identical twins, I'm 13w2d, and I'm getting nervous!

Anyone else who is pregnant with twins or has twins I would love to hear your story!

How many weeks were you when you delivered, were they identical or fraternal?

I delivered via C-section at 38 weeks, I have fraternal boys! Keep active in your pregnancy, it helps a lot!

congratulations!

Mine are fraternal (di/di) boys and will be having a c-section next wednesday (14th) i'll be 37+3. there is still a 30% chance of them being identical as they are the same sex, so i can't wait to see what they look like and start guessing if they are or not lol

Congrats! My water broke at 35 weeks and they were delivered via c-section due to B being breech. They are fraternal.

Identical twins here! I delivered at 33+4. Other identical twin moms I know went at 30 weeks and 35 weeks.

Fraternal here, boy and girl. 30 weeks 4 days and hoping they stay in for at least 4-5 more weeks!
Congrats!

I have identical girls but didn't find out until they were 9 mths by DNA test. Until then we thought they were frats.

I'm a little nervous, since the ultrasound tech said they were sharing the same amniotic sac, I'm hoping she made a error!

I got confirmation that the twins are Momo, I guess I have a long and stressful road ahead.

As if having twins (and identical ones at that!) isn't stressful enough.

Thank you both so much!!!
It's crazy, I've read all the bad things but have a good feeling

 

[marymoomin]

I have two friends that had momos. Both went to 36 and 37 weeks no problems. Good luck and I hope all goes well. X

 

[TonyaG]

Wow that's amazing! I haven't read any stories that they deliver that late.

You will have a great pregnancy! I believe that with you.

One was a midwife herself and went again every bit of consultant advice and hung on to 37 weeks and the other literally sailed through to 36 with a vaginal delivery despite being pushed towards c section. I think these scenarios are not as uncommon as you would think.

...aaaand 13 weeks is really early to be 100% sure they are momo! that membrane is suuuuper thin and may show up on the later scans! which would mean you're having mo-dis!

Yes I agree, that's why I'm concerned that im 16.5 weeks now and I haven't had any further scan to see, or been sent to a specialist???

WHHHHHHAAAT? Get thee to a specialist! I'm not sure how it works in Canada, but I'd call one up and tell them to get me in today/tomorrow! I'll bet these wee ones are mo-di!
