What does it mean if twins are dichorionic?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Two placentas: Dichorionic twins result either from fertilization of two separate eggs ("fraternal" twins) or from the early division of a fertilized egg into two separate embryos ("identical" twins).

2 placentas: Dichorionic means that they have two different placentas, and most certainly two amniotic sacs.
