    Each child has its own umbilical cord. Identical twins often will share the same placenta.

    Do the two umbilical cords ever meet? (As in a "Y" connection to the mother's body.)

    Yes but it sounds like it is very rare and very dangerous.

    We all get our very own cord.

    My twins both had their own cord, their own placenta and their own amniotic sac.

    I think some twin out there stole my umbilical cord.  I have no belly button.
