What to do if you are pregnant with twins but only have one placenta?

Hello doctor, my wife is 8 weeks pregnant with twins. But she only has one placenta and one amniotic sac. So what should my husband and I do now? I am very worried and hope to receive advice from the doctor?!

Doctor replied:

Hello!

Perhaps you and your husband have consulted and learned about monochorionic twins and worried when reading about its complications. It is true that monochorionic twins are one of the types of twins with a high rate of pregnancy complications.

However, a high rate does not mean that it will definitely happen, and worrying and stressing the couple will not help improve the rate of complications.

Therefore, it is best for both husband and wife to first calmly research, keep a stable mentality and discuss thoroughly with the obstetrician who is monitoring their pregnancy, to develop a detailed pregnancy check-up plan, and strictly follow the check-up schedule. Only then will it be meaningful.

Good luck to you both!
