My baby girl recently died from brain damage and celebral palsy - I only got my placenta back and now they tell me its a twin placenta - so I am wondering if anyone out there has had twins with a Succenturiate Lobe twin placenta - I am thinking that maybe her twin did not form or develop and constricted her - they would have shared the same placenta so I guess they would have been identical too..but the weird thing is the one who survived for 3 wks - had the smaller satellite part of the placenta whereas the other one was not picked up on ultrasound perhaps the other one was just tissue - what do you think?

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this but wanted to share my experience with you. I am not sure if it was the exact thing but when my son was born he was delivered and so was a whole placenta. 10 days later I "delivered" part of a lobe of a placenta. I had to have a D & C to remove most of it. All I was told was that it was a rare condition that I grew an extra placenta lobe. Honestly I was going through a lot of stress at the time especially being so sick and in the hospital and I wasn't ready to hear someone tell me if it was a twin or not so I didn't ask. Im not sure if i'd be ready to hear that now 7 years later either so I haven't looked it up. All I asked is if it would happen again and they just said unlikely. They said they missed that it was there because my placenta was whole when it came out so they had no reason to look for more.
Im sorry about your daughter.
I looked it up a bit yesterday....my curiosity got to me. It seemed as half of the sites said the word twin and the other half didn't. There were some lovely pictures of the affected placentas that I could have gone without seeing. Brings back memories.
If you get an answer I suppose id like it if you let me know. Thanks.

Extra Lobe On Placenta

are you a identical twin, or a paternal twin. If you are an identical twin then the chances are less likely that you will have twins because identical twins are spontaneous and are not passed down in the genes. Paternal twins are, they result from 2 eggs being released and that would give you a higher chance of the same thing happening to you. hope this helps

Succenturiate Lobe is unrelated to twin pregnancies. It's an abnormality.
I am so sorry for your loss...
