Info from StatPearls: ✔️Conjoined twins refers to twins that are physically fused in utero and consequently at birth. ➡️It happens when a monozygotic twin pregnancy cleaves more than 13 days after fertilization. ➡️They are monochorionic (one placenta) and monoamniotic (one amniotic sac). ➡️They exist in a female to male ratio of 3 to 1. ✔️Conjoined twins can be broadly categorized into non-dorsally conjoined twins (which includes ventral, lateral, and caudal conjunction) and dorsally conjoined t

Monochorionic Diamniotic (MCDA) Twins: Quick Facts What are they? Identical twins sharing one placenta (chorion) but each with their own amniotic sac (diamniotic). About 70-80% of identical twin pregnancies! Risks: Higher chance of TTTS (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome), where blood flow imbalances occur. Close monitoring via ultrasounds is key. Why it matters: Early detection allows interventions like laser surgery. Survival rates >90% with expert care. #Twins #Pregnancy #ObGyn (Consult your

Fact #2: The later an embryo splits, the more likely complications like TTTS, including TAPS will occur. by Elizabeth and Collin from Missouri, USA For Crosby and Cora Elizabeth and Collin talk about their TTTS and TAPS survivors Crosby and Cora and their experience with laser surgery and a blood transfusion. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is a disease of the placenta that affects identical twin pregnancies (or higher gestations) who share a placenta (monochorionic). The shared placent
