Congratulations and welcome to a wonderful club!

I love those early scan pics.

Are yours identical? Is that why you are worrying about ttts?

I'm pretty sure my twins are identical so I too have the same concerns as you do. I'll be having a 19 week scan this week, I hope the babies are fine. We are hoping to find out their genders as well.
If they are fraternal then there is no worry. Your sonogram pictures are sweet. It looks like the babies are in the same sac, but it's a bit too early to know for sure. They may be in their own sacs and the membrane between them just isn't visible yet. When the babies share a placenta that's when you have to worry about TTTS. Don't worry so much about it, just be aware of some of the signs that may develop.
So far most of the sonograms I've compared mine to, are identical and they have a very thin or no membrane between the babies. It's not always the case, but most of the time it is. The twins with a larger membrane seem to be fraternal twins.

In case you haven't heard before, a good website about TTTS is: http://www.tttsfoundation.org/

Good luck and keep us posted.

hey there, thanks so mch for this x

Hey. Congrats on ur twins. I agree with 2plustwins don't worry about it, and definately not now. Although it's bit early to start talking about this, make sure you're clear whether it's twins who have the same placenta, but different sacs. If it is then make sure that after your 16 week scans you're given scans every two weeks. As long as you're given that level of supervision then try not to worry. Unfortunately my twins had ttts, but it all worked out fine due to my consultant being on the ball.
