I have a friend who had mono twins a few weeks after my twins were born and she delivered hers vaginally!
That is completely amazing! I had no idea that was even possible. Wow... thanks for sharing...

This is amazing. I've never even heard of this. How informative. I feel a heart wrenching story in this!
Hope to read it one day Angie!
Thanks for the info. My sister in law has twins. A girl and a boy and I cannot tell you how many times people ask if they are identical. I just want to tell them here is your sign from Bill Engvall.

What's the source for this info: *75% of monoamniotic twins are girls
One fact bothered me, that these twins are always delivered by c-section, well ill have you know that I am a mother of mono mono twins and I delivered them vaginally. I had an excellent doctor and the babies were positioned right and born three minutes apart on 12-22-09 Otherwise, I really enjoyed these stories.
