March 20, 201312 yr Hi Just wondered if anyone had experience of a pregnancy with identical twins who are developing in the same gestation sac? It's rare (about 1% of twins pregnancies) and is dangerous for one or both of the fetuses as they are so close to each other and are sharing the same placenta ( cord tangling, one accidentally compressing the other's food supply, one taking more of the food). We are in this situation with my partner at about 12 weeks and a doctor at Sriphat (Chiang Mai) is helping us to find a doctor who has experience of this type of pregnancy (supposedly one at Suan Dok Hospital who we are in the process of trying to contact - we are in Chiang Mai). From research I've done, I know that it involves heavy monitoring and regular scanning by someone with relevant experience to increase the chance of either one or both of them surviving. It's a long shot but wondered if anyone out there had ever been through this in Thailand and if so, how it went and what advice they could give? Thanks.
