Here are some facts about momo twins that I got from www.monoamnioticstories.blogspot.com. Its a great place to read encouraging stories of families that have successfully had momo twins and their journey.
- Monoamniotic twins are always identical
- *Monoamniotic twins are the result of a late splitting egg; one that split around 8-12 days after fertilization
- *Monoamniotic twins only occur in 1% of twins
- *Monoamniotic twins share a placenta and amniotic sac which means they have skin to skin contact
- *Monoamniotic twins are considered extremely high risk because of the risk of cord compression leading to fetal death as a result of umbilical cord entanglement
- *Monoamniotic twins are always delivered by C-Section
- *Monoamniotic twins are usually delivered between 32-34 weeks gestation because the risks of staying in utero are greater than the risks associated with a premature birth
- *75% of monoamniotic twins are girls
