Identical Twins in the forecast


We are about 22 weeks along so far and just now found out we are having identical twins. We were shocked and excited but later found out that we are having mono/mono twins. This means that the twins not only share the same house, but they share the same room inside that house. This can be particularly dangerous because there is nothing separating the babies and it would be easy for the twins to get the umbilical cords twisted around each other. We are going to see a specialist next Friday to see what our options are. Most likely Jessica will have to be hospitalized from about 24 weeks until the end of the pregnancy to ensure the babies safety.
