When my cousin had twins, my mother said we should wait for the doctor's scan to know for sure. It's such a blessing to have twins in the family. Just keep resting well at your parents' place and trust your doctor.
I had a normal delivery and remember the doctor explaining that sharing a placenta is the main sign of identical twins on the scan. It is such an exciting journey ahead of you! Stay positive and take care of your health.
An ultrasound done during the first trimester can show if the babies share a single placenta and amniotic sac, which indicates they are identical. Later in pregnancy, it becomes harder to determine. Your gynecologist will guide you based on your scan reports.
The doctor can tell from the early ultrasound scans, but only if they are done in the first trimester. Don't do any strenuous exercises while carrying twins, stick to gentle walks only if allowed. Let your doctor analyze the scan results.
I would be constantly searching the internet trying to figure this out, it's so nerve-wracking but exciting! Your doctor will check if they share a placenta during the scan. Just make sure to ask your gynac about this at your next appointment so you don't worry.
Yaar, you can actually find out during the early scans if they share the same placenta. If they are in separate sacs with different placentas, they might still be fraternal, actually. Just ask your radiologist during the next ultrasound!
