Identical or fraternal TWINS?

Question

Hi all
So yesterday I found out I was having IDENTICAL TWINS!!!!
I already have a boy and a girl (not twins) and anyone who knows me knows my obsession with identical twins!! And now I have my very own♥️ what a blessing!!!
But me and my partner have been doing a lot of research and we are just wondering…. Are they identical or fraternal? They share the same sac, but we also know that fraternal twins can share the same sac but have two different placentas. 
So we are just making sure they are IDENTICAL! 
😊
Nice comments please!

Answer

Looks like mono/di to me- identical! ❤️ Make sure you are monitored closely by a maternal fetal medicine team as they are higher risk than twins that don’t share a placenta. Good luck in your pregnancy journey mama, congrats! 🥳

Answer

I think what you’re referring to is MONO/di vs. DI/di. MONO are always identical, DI can be either identical or fraternal. 
My girls were di/di and ended up being identical. The difference is that the egg splits earlier in di/di identicals but otherwise they have the same general genetic composition as a mono/di set of identical twins.

Answer

Fraternal twins are always di di because  they form from 2 eggs that get fertilized by 2 different sperms  they will always have their own sacs inner and outer and 2 placenta they can fuse tho so on ultrasound  it could look like one
