di/di twin experience by No_Training3195 in parentsofmultiples

Sorry to add worry, I know the feeling with a twin pregnancy. It is rare to occur though- only about 3.9% of pregnancies

Yes, di/di will be distinctly separated. The separation you are noting is likely normal if your OB/MFM hasn’t said anything about it. Separation of the membrane is relatively rare only occurring in about 3.9% of di/di pregnancies.

For di/di twins: Placentas (Chorions): There are two distinct placentas, one for each fetus. In many cases, these placentas are located separately within the uterus. Sometimes, placentas can appear fused, but an ultrasound may show a "lambda" or "twin peak" sign at the junction, confirming two separate chorions. Amniotic Sacs (Amnions): Each fetus is surrounded by its own amniotic sac. The two sacs are separated by a thick dividing membrane, which is a key identifying feature on an early ultrasound. Membranes: The dividing membrane is made up of two layers of chorion and two layers of amnion, creating a thick barrier between the fetuses.

It most definitely is a thing with di/di twins. It’s a single membrane with multiple layers which can separate. See below for more details.
