Monochorionic Pregnancy

Monochorionic- diamniotic twins occur in 0.3% of all pregnancies and 70 to 75% of all monozygotic twin pregnancies and occur completely at random.This situation is very rare and may cause risk to the babies due to cord entanglement and other issues. A monochorionic pregnancy is a multiple pregnancy, most commonly a twin pregnancy, in which babies are dependent on a single, shared placenta. After the egg is fertilized by the sperm, the resulting zygote splits into two, at some point between 3 and 8 days after fertilization. Embryos have fused together to create one placenta and two amniotic sacs. An ultrasound between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy allows medical staff to tell if the twins share a common placenta or they have their own.
