In twin pregnancy, if there are 2 placetnae, then it must be dichorionic
if there is 1 placenta, it can be either dichorionic or monchorionic...
can someone please explain why 1 placenta can be DC or MC??
thanks a lot...

I thoght placenta develops parallel with the chorion and depending on when the spliting occurs you have 1 chorion and 1 placenta/2 chorion and 2 placenta.

Dizygotic twinning -always dichorionic(2placentas) and diamnionic
Monozygotic twinning:
1. dichorionic (2placentas), diamnionic
2.monochorionic (1placenta), diamnionic
3.monochorionic (1placenta), monoamnionic
So, I think that number of chorions always parallels number of placentas
