Twin pregnancies differ in whether the babies share a placenta and an amniotic sac. Your maternity team can explain which type you have.
- Dichorionic diamniotic: each baby has a separate placenta and sac.
- Monochorionic diamniotic: the babies share a placenta but have separate sacs.
- Monochorionic monoamniotic: the babies share both a placenta and a sac.

Contact Placental Sg with your due date and planned hospital before booking. The twin placenta service is S$600, including collection and return delivery. The quantity of capsules depends on the placenta or placentas received.
Do not use placenta tinctures as treatment for a child’s menstrual or hormonal symptoms. Discuss any proposed use with the child’s healthcare professional.
