LEFT Think, Pair, Write: What do you notice? Write about the placenta, the chorion and the amniotic sac
Do identical twins always share a placenta during pregnancy? No, this is a myth. Even many doctors will mistakenly identify twins as fraternal because there are two placentas. It depends on when the egg splits. If it is early enough, the two embryos will implant separately in the uterus and develop individual placentas. If the split occurs later, they may share a placenta.
