Different Types of Twins: Molli's MoMo Twin Birth Story

Different Types of Twins: Molli's MoMo Twin Birth Story

Author: Liesel Teen July 24, 2023 Duration: 41:46

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, we're talking about a twin birth story. But it's not just any old twin birth story - it's about MoMo twins!

MoMo twins are the rarest type of twins out there - occurring in less than 1% of twins, and .1% of all pregnancies.

Most people don't realize that when it comes to twins, it's not just fraternal versus identical. There are actually quite a few types!

Molli joins me on the podcast to share her story of pregnancy and birth with MoMo twins. Molli did a fabulous job of telling her story and shedding light on the medical, emotional, and physical aspects of a MoMo twin pregnancy and birth.
