MONOAMNIOTIC TWINS!??!?!?

James Daniel and John David are very special little boys. They are considered to be a very rare type of twins. Monoamniotic Monochorionic Twins (referred to as Mono Mono twins) occur in only about 1 in 250,000 pregnancies. Mono twins are actually the phase of twinning a day or two before conjoined twins. Mono twins share the same sac, same placenta and are not seperated by a membrane. Mono twins are given a 50% chance of surviving the pregnancy until early delivery at no later than 32 weeks. For Mono Mommies, they live each day not knowing if their babies will still be alive at their next prenatal visit. They live hopeful but guarded "just in case". Twin specialists diagnose about 6 cases a year and only 2 or 3 will make it. 75% of Mono twins conceived are girls. Mono twins are not hereditary nor due to fertility treatments. Mono twins are a very special blessing from God only. He chooses the twins and the families for them. We are so thankful He chose us.
