What are twin pregnancies?
Twin pregnancy means having two fetuses inside the uterus. This is often a result of a genetic predisposition or in cases of fertility therapies. Twins can be categorized as either fraternal or identical. In fraternal twins the eggs and the sperm are different. They are separated from each other inside the uterus by two separate placentas. Fraternal twins do not share the same copy of DNA and can be the same or of different sex. On the other hand Identical twins are formed from a single embryo. A single egg and a single sperm form an embryo which later divides into two. The twins often share the placenta in this case. Identical twins are always of the same sex and look similar. These types of pregnancies pose a greater risk to both the mother and fetus. One risk is conjoined twins when they fail to fully divide. The delivered babies are attached in such cases.
