The presence of a "T-sign" at the inter-twin membrane-placental junction is indicative of monochorionic-diamniotic twins (that is, the junction between the inter-twin membrane and the external rim forms a right angle), whereas dichorionic twins present with a "lambda (λ) sign" (that is, the chorion forms a wedge-shaped protrusion into the ...
Monoamniotic twins are always monochorionic and are usually termed Monoamniotic-Monochorionic ("MoMo" or "Mono Mono") twins. [1] [2] They share the placenta, but have two separate umbilical cords. Monoamniotic twins develop when an embryo does not split until after formation of the amniotic sac, [1] at about 9–13 days after fertilization. [3]
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), also known as feto-fetal transfusion syndrome (FFTS), twin oligohydramnios-polyhydramnios sequence (TOPS) and stuck twin syndrome, is a complication of monochorionic multiple pregnancies (the most common form of identical twin pregnancy) in which there is disproportionate blood supply between the fetuses.
Six months later, the twins are thriving and the global attention has died down, but the siblings still inseparable. It's admittedly even hard for parents Sarah and Bill to tell the tiny BFFs apart.
A rare set of "MoMo" (also called 'mono mono') twins were born in Tulsa. That's the short, cute term for "monoamniotic" twins, which means the two babies shared the same placenta and amniotic sac ...

The other twin is usually normal in appearance. The normal twin, called the pump twin, drives blood through both fetuses. It is called "reversed arterial perfusion" because in the acardiac twin the blood flows in a reversed direction. [4] [5] TRAP sequence occurs in 1% of monochorionic twin pregnancies and 1 in 35,000 pregnancies overall. [6]
"The couple was told they were having mono mono twins, meaning the babies shared the same amniotic sac and placenta. The odds of this type of pregnancy [are] one in 10,000 births."
