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]
Gestational age: 6 weeks and 0 days until 6 weeks and 6 days old. 43–49 days from last menstruation. Embryonic age: Week nr 5. 4 weeks old. 29–35 days from fertilization. The embryo measures 8 mm (0.31 in) in length and weighs about 1 gram. [4] Optic vesicles and optic cups form the start of the developing eye. Nasal pits form.
The sex of the fetus may be discerned by ultrasound as early as 11 weeks' gestation. The accuracy is relatively imprecise when attempted early.
