This page was established as a support resource for parents diagnosed with monoamniotic twins or parents of monoamniotic twins. It is supported entirely by members and is not affiliated with any medical organization. Having found this page, you are probably aware of the implications of having monoamniotic twins and the frightening statistics used by the medical community. This page is dedicated to anyone who is encountering the stress of expecting monoamniotic twins or who endured the unique problems and endless worry of monoamniotic twins to have healthy babies. We especially dedicate this page to parents who have suffered the loss of one or both of their twins.
Monoamniotic twins are less than one percent of all twin pregnancies.
It is so rare that even the medical community has not reached a consensus on how to handle these cases. This web page contains the most current information available about monoamniotic twins and the various treatments used by the medical community. It also contains the greatest resource of all, parents who have already made this journey or those who have just embarked on the journey. Like you, all of us were scared and alarmed by the diagnosis. I would like to offer you some very encouraging news.
