MoMo Twins Died Due To Doctor

by Marie
(PA)

When I was 20 weeks pregnant I was diagnosed with MONO MONO twin girls. I was told they had a 50% survival rate and I needed to go to a specialist. That there was nothing I could do until the 26th week. The specialist finally made me appointment at 26 weeks. With me calling everyday trying to get an appointment. At week 25 I had an ultrasound that showed both babies had died. It was exactley 3 days before my appoinment with the specialist. Please if you are diagnosed with MOMO twins get to a specialist ASAP I don't want anyone to lose 2 precious babies like I did due to not seeing a specialist until they were available. I know things happen for a reason but I think I will always live with what would of happen if the specialist would of seen me sooner.

 Misdiagnosed
by: Anonymous

Hi there.

I was misdiagnosed with my twin pregnancy. I was told my girls were mono/di and that there was a membrane.

Fast forward to the week of Thanksgiving 2010. Monday afternoon an u/s showed my healthy baby girls. Wednesday morning my u/s showed we had lost one. Thursday morning i delivered lucie who had passed and ellie who was rushed off to the NICU.

Come to find out I was pregnant with mono/mono the entire time. My doctors called me in at a later time and flat out said "we misdiagnosed you, I'm so sorry".

The emotions I feel are incredible. I'm happy Ellie is doing well, sad I lost my little Lucie, so so mad and angry my doctors and even a "SPECIALIST" didn't get it right. I cry every day over this.

 I'm so sorry
by: Tara

Hi Marie,

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was pregnant with mono/mono twins last year and the doctors here in Pittsburgh gave them a 40% chance of survival.

The prognosis was extraordinarily bleak so my husband and I chose to terminate the pregnancy. It agonizes me everyday...

Mono/mono twin pregnancies are certainly traumatic and tumultuous - I would also recommend that those who find themselves in this situation see a perintologist immediately and seek emotional support when necessary.

Stay well,
Tara
