Hope you and your boys are doing well! It is definitely mind blowing how uninformed OBs are at reading twin ultrasounds. I am still planning on writing the medical board and letting them know how poorly I was treated. Us moms need to keep on channeling our mama bear instincts and fight for our babies! Good luck in Mexico!!

My blood was boiling too over the mistreatment and manipulation you received from your OB and his scheduler. They basically schemed a plot to shut you up and have you quiet! This is very wrong….
Also, as far as I know, not only the sooner you know your chorionicity the better for the sake of the pregnancy but also I’ve been told it’s much easier to determine it early than later on. It’s much more difficult to see later on week 20!
In my case (mo/di twins, also boys ;) my OB has no idea either. He told me at 9 weeks it looked like fraternal when I see clearly now knowing a little they were mo/di. Also he said nothing about the placentas he only said this because I had to yolk sacs at the moment. I also faught hard to determine what I had. And to get the medical tests I need since we moved to Mexico and here no one has asked me to get blood analysis, and many other medical test I have to fight for…
Congratulations on your twins and you are right, we are the better advocates for our babies no doubt about that!!
