Can Someone Calm Me?

Monday August 25, 2008
Joady1 says: "I just found out 2 weeks ago that I am having identical twin girls!! (I was 20 weeks at the time!!) Since then I have heard nothing but bad news from all my doctors about ALL of the things that can go wrong with identical twins. I am on two weekly ultrasounds and all looks good so far but I cant shake this worry. Please let me know if you are pregnant with identicals or if you have been successful so that I can hear some good news to concentrate on!! "

While it's true that there are some additional risks associated with a monozygotic (identical) twin pregnancy, careful medical monitoring can address many of the issues.
