Were having twins! Fraternal or identical?

Question

Anyone knowledgable when it comes to twins?? Really curious to know if its possible to tell if we're having identical or fraternal. Babys are in separate sacs, can anyone determine if there is 2 placentas or 1 or even guesses are welcome. My husband is a fraternal twin, i have no twins running on my side of the family which makes me think they are identical. 
Thank you 💖💖

Answer

They look like di/di twins to me. Di/di twins can be either identical or fraternal (but I’ve noticed doctors tend to mistakenly use the terms di/di and fraternal interchangeably). 
With di/di twins, only testing (before or after birth) can determine if they’re identical or not - unless of course, you find out their genders and they’re boy/girl twins. If they’re the same gender, there’s about a 30% chance of being identical.

Answer

These are my identical di/di girls!! If they are the same sex I highly recommend getting them tested.
My girls are identical, but they had a 1 pound weight difference at birth. It made a huge difference in how they look. My doctor was the one who convinced me they could be identical and sure enough she was right.

Answer

They are technically fraternal which is di/di but if they are the same gender there is a 30% chance they can be identical

Answer

My doctor thought I was having Di/di fraternal twins until my panorama blood work came back today! Turns out I am pregnant with monozygotic boy twins! Huge shocker!!! No twins in family anywhere!! First ultrasound was 6w5d and other was 8w5d

Answer

I have di di twins and they are fraternal

Answer

They definitely look fraternal with the membrane separating them! Congrats!

Answer

Di/di.
So it could be either identical (30% of the time) or fraternal (70% of the time). Genetic testing or different sexes can tell you if they’re fraternal or not during pregnancy. When they’re born if they have different blood types, they’d be fraternal. I have di/di twins. They’re same sex and same blood type. We haven’t had them genetically tested so we don’t know if they’re identical, though we’re pretty certain they are.

Answer

My sister in law doesn't have any twins in her family either and they got pregnant with fraternal twins, so it's definitely possible!!

Answer

I found out I’m pregnant with Di/Di twins and I have been doing a lot of research it says that Di/Di twins can be identical if they are same sex. I’m excited to find out what mine are. Baby A heart rate is 164 and baby B is 170
