I am about 10 weeks pregnant, and I've already had two sonograms, one at 6 1/2 weeks, and another at 8 1/2 weeks, due to a car accident. At the first sonogram, the technician told me that the babies will be ferternal because there are two seperate sacs. However, at the second sonogram the tech said that she, herself has twin girls that had seperate sacs that came out identical after dna testing. Twins of either kind don't run in my family. I've heard that the only way to know for sure is if they are boy/girl later on in a sonogram. Is this true? Or is there a way to know for sure one way or another at some point before conception?

As far as i know they can have there own sacs, but share the same placenta, and that also makes them identical!!! I am pregnant with identical twins, but mine share the one sac!! If later you find out that they are boy/girl, than yes they are NOT identical, they would be fraternal!!! good luck with it :)

Identicals can have there own sac and their own placenta if the egg split within 3 days of your ovaries releasing that egg. I am preggo with twin boys and don't know if they are ID or Fraternal. They said the only way I will be able to tell now is either A) they look different (which could take years to distinguish) or B) by some DNA test after they are born.
