Are twins in the same amniotic fluid

  Twin pregnancy is a particularly happy thing, but some women with twin pregnancies often worry about the poor development of their babies in the uterus. After all, two fetuses growing in the same uterus are also prone to some health problems during pregnancy. And the growth environment of the fetus cannot do without amniotic fluid, so are twins in the same amniotic fluid?

  

Are twins in the same amniotic fluid1

  1. When a woman becomes pregnant as a twin, some twins will grow and develop in the same sheep pond, while others will have their own amniotic fluid environment. Therefore, whether they are in the same amniotic fluid should be judged based on the nature of the twins.

  2. If a woman is pregnant with twins of the twin sheep type, which refers to having two amniotic sacs, there will be two separate sheep pools, and the placenta will be separated and will not share amniotic fluid. This is a relatively safe type among twins. Because there is less mutual influence between two fetuses, the survival rate of the fetus is higher and complications such as twin blood transfusion are less likely to occur.

  3. Some women also have twins who are monozygotic or monozygotic after pregnancy. This is because the fertilized egg differentiates into two embryos in the later stage, resulting in the formation of twins. They also share one placenta and only one amniotic cavity, so they share amniotic fluid. And this type of twin is prone to squeezing each other, leading to nutritional deficiencies or oxygen and blood supply disorders, higher complications and fetal death rates. Therefore, it is more important to pay attention to prenatal checkups and strengthen monitoring.
