maybe depending on which ovarie they were relased from they can tell as once the egg is released, the site it come from on the ovary goes through different stages until it heals, or if supporting a pregnancy it goes through different stages and i think releases hormones to keep it viable until implantation when the pregnancy hormones are then sorted out by the placenta instead.

Although don't ask me how they would have known unless they tested very early on.

[/QUOTE=Maya]The triplets in the doco were a set of identical twins + one baby so one split egg + a second fertilised egg. They reckon the identical twins were conceived first, then 24 hours later the third baby. I just don't get how they know the second egg was released 24 hours later rather than 6 or 12 or however many else hours?[/QUOTE]

That is what happened, she had 3 boys 2 identical and 1 a fraternal, they show how it happened - so amazing. It was on again last night so we watched again (nothing else was on).

My girls were consistently 4-7 days apart in size (Mercedes was always bigger and was bigger at birth) but obviously must have been conceived the same day as they came from one egg.

Eeek - I don't need to see that! It's not so long ago that I've forgotten what it was like...

But Mum saw it and she said it was really interesting. Apparently tho they said the triplets were conceived on different days - I'm still trying to figure out how they know that?]]> Sat, 10 Mar 2007 20:52:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=117688&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#117688 <![CDATA[Pregnancy, health, and the news : some test for strep B and others...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=116803&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#116803 Author: mum2paris

some test for strep B and others don't - due to the limited merits it can have as it can come and go - you may not necessarily have it when tested but whos to say you wont at birth and vice versa.. the test is not absolute so in some areas it is not standard.]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2007 22:35:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=116803&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#116803 <![CDATA[Pregnancy, health, and the news : I seconed that I watched it with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=116714&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#116714 Author: 11111

Strangely enough Mummy_becks I haven't seen it yet - we don't have Sky. But Peace taped it for me so will be keen to see it when it arrives!

with the strep B I was never tested with HAleigh so was very suprised when I got pregnant this time reading about it form everyone seen as I ahd never heard of it and Haleigh is only 17months.
Im having one this time though jsut for peace of mind really.


I agree with what Emma said inregards to the folic acid, I actually know of a few people who ahve miscarryed before thinking they lsot their baby only to find they were still actually pregnant and it was jsut one of the babies.]]> Wed, 07 Mar 2007 07:28:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=116188&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#116188 <![CDATA[Pregnancy, health, and the news : Emma has watched the NatGeo doco...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6026&PID=116087&title=pregnancy-health-and-the-news#116087 Author: mummy_becks

Emma has watched the NatGeo doco that was on Sunday Twins, Triplets and Quads. That was a very interesting doco. I watched it again on Monday as I missed bits of it.

I was tested both times for StrepB and both times positive, strange how some people are tested and others aren't. I thought the 36 week swabs were normal.

I never got tested I would think it should be standard.  I kept for getting to ask my M/W I will next time tho I think it is prob far more important that the scan.

I wonder if rather than CAUSING twins, folic acid prevents birth defects therefore causing more babies to survive.
