I think they look exactly the same!! They are so cute!

 

If there was only one placenta, they are identical. They look identical to me! So cute!!

 

They look identical!! They are so cute!

They are really cute! I'd say definately id by the look of them, and if there was only one placenta then that should seal the deal!

 

You're right. If they are 100% sure there was only one placenta, then they must be id. Your matching cuties confirm that! What dolls!

 

Was there only one placenta or was it a fused placenta? Depending on the accuracy of the placental pathology, they could still be fraternal or identical. Was there one sac or two? Is there blood type the same? All of these help determine the zygosity, but the only sure way to know is if they are boy/girl or to have a DNA test done.

 

I love playing the ID or FRAT game... everyones babies are so cute!!

*I* think yours are: Identical, for sure!! What cuties!!

Thanks for sharing!!

 

They look ID to me.

We never had a DNA test done. We got the pathology report back that said for certain there was only 1 placenta. They way they could tell for sure was the number of membranes or something like that.

 

A pathology report isn't 100% accurate. Its only the best they can do with what they have. Like everyone said if its truly only one placenta then they're ID, but unless they told you it was one in the very beginning or you had TTTS theres no way of knowing for sure. The only way to be 100% positive is to have a DNA test done.

After saying all that I personally think yours look pretty ID. I did notice in the first pic that one has a longer face then the other. Is that correct or is just me? Your boys are very handsome. :wub: Ladies beware!
