One or Two Placentas?!

Question

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with what we were told by the ultrasound tech ....identical girls!   However, my OB is convinced there may be a second placenta and the two have just fused together making it impossible for the tech to see?  I am headed to see a fetal specialist this next week but I a curious if you knew immediately about your twin/multiples placentas!? :)

Answer

The tech told me it looked like one placenta, but the dr said they might be fused. I went to a specialist  and they checked and said one placenta was anterior  and one posterior, not sure how they didn't see it at the ultrasound before. However, since they are the same sex we were told we won't know if they're identical till birth since they have their own placentas.

Answer

I didn't find out there were two seperate placentas until 20 weeks. Not sure if they just didn't tell me or what...

Answer

Our placentas are fused as well, they say we wont know if they are identical until they are born :-/
