Thanks ladies - oh Deb, I'm so sorry for your loss, its just an awful thing to lose twins, its amazing how special and chosen we feel when we find out and just so sad that it ends that way.

I really think that the system needs to change in how identicals are dealt with as there just seems to be such a lack of information and procedure on managing the pregnancy. And I agree, whilst it might not change the overall outcome (at least in my case) it would have allowed me to fight for my boys.

I'm not blaming anyone but I do feel let down by the system which did not inform me about the stats being so high. I feel very motivated to do something in this direction to ensure women are informed and educated about these stats and the options available to them when they are first told they are carrying identicals. If knowing this information (ie getting weekly scans from 16 weeks) changes the outcome for just one family then that's got to be a good thing. I refuse to let Liam and Dale's death be in vain.
