Did you know there are many different variations of twins? Not just “fraternal” and “identical” 💕⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, we just classify that DIZYGOTIC twins are “fraternal” because they came from TWO eggs (Di = two)⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And MONOZYGOTIC twins are identical because they came from ONE egg (Mono = one) ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
tips_from_nurse_tori_ also did an awesome all-inclusive post about ALL the different types, so go check her post out!⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some of the common kinds:⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Diamniotic Dichorionic “Di Di” (2 amniotic sacs & 2 placentas), can be fused OR separate, as depicted above! These types of twins can be identical or fraternal!⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Diamniotic Monochorionic (2 amniotic sacs & 1 placenta) These types of twins can only be identical!⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Monoamniotic Monochorionic (1 amniotic sac, 1 placenta) These types of twins can also only be identical, and this is the most rare type!⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
