In a di/di pregnancy (more scientifically referred to as a dichorionic diamniotic pregnancy) the twins each have their own chorionic and amniotic sacs. What Does “Di/Di” Mean for Twins?DiDitwins are the most common and least risky type of twin pregnancy, accounting for over 70% of twin pregnancies. What Are Di/DiTwins?
Understanding the Context

Important Details
DiDi stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins.Diditwins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. The truth is, if di/ditwins are the same sex and blood type, there's only one way to know for sure that they are fraternal: a genetic test! Actually, 30% of di/ditwins are identical, or monozygotic. Di-Ditwins: with complications such as discordant growth, high risk of preterm delivery, discordant fetal anomalies.
