Mono-Mono Twins
Mono-Mono twins (Monoamniotic-Monochorionic or "Mo-Mo" twins) are always identical and incredibly rare. They will share both their amnions, chorions and placenta. They only happen in about 1% of monozygotic (identical twins) pregnancies. This is primarily due to a later splitting of the egg which results in a shared placenta and shared sac. (An extremely late split can even produce conjoined twins). This sharing of the amniotic sac with no barrier between the two babies is why this particular type of twin pregnancy in considered especially high risk. Monoamniotic-Monochorionic twins have a general in-utero mortality rate of approximately 50 %, largely due to cord entanglement.If you have been diagnosed with "mo-mo" twins, you should be seeing a perinatologist (a doctor specializing in high risk pregnancies). Your extraordinary twin pregnancy will need much closer monitoring and expert care. Just keep in mind that your babies themselves are usually perfectly healthy, it is just their situation in the womb which is the cause for concern. It’s a good idea to talk with other parents who have gone through the same thing, as they can give needed support and first hand information on what to expect. Being well informed and connecting with someone who knows what you are going through may help to ease your worry. Here are some places to start...
