I think you may have been pregnant with twins and for some reason the second baby didn't develop. You need an ultrasound and an obsetrician to ensure that the second placenta doesn't affect the blood flow to the growing baby. good luck joymaker rn
============================================
Sometimes a placenta can divide into 2 lobes. This is called a bi-partite placenta and can occur in a single pregnancy. At delivery, the midwife will check the placenta to ensure it is complete and no lobes have been left behind. A scan will sometimes be used to ensure all the placenta has been expelled. It doesn't mean that there was a twin pregnancy neccessarily. 3 lobes can develop - tri-partite placenta etc.

What does dichorionic mean?
Literally, having two chorions and two placentas -- used especially of human fraternal twins. That is to say, not identical twins growing in a single sac, but two completely separate fetuses with separate placentas.
If you have two placentas and one fetus will or can the fetus be smaller as if a twin?
Chances are, something happened to the twin. But since the remaining baby has lots of room to grow, it will probably be born as if it were a single.
Is it common to have two placentas developing during pregnancy one empty and one with a live fetus What will happen to the empty sac as the pregnancy progresses?
It is not common, but it happens. You probably conceived twins and one did not develop, it is called a blighted ovum. If you had conceived a single baby and it had not developed you would have had a miscarriage, but the healthy fetus is preventing this. As the healthy baby grows the second placenta will probably be overtaken by the good one. An area of thickening may be found when you have your baby.

Twin births for horses are rare, especially when both foals are born alive. In this case there should be two placentas.
What does it mean to have two sacs at birth but only one baby?
could mean that there were originally two zygotes in you and you would've had twins. or maybe your sac tore during delivery so there were two pieces. I've heard about it happening though where two sacs came out but only one baby.

Issues if twins have only one placenta?
No. Two placentas indicates dizygotic twins which always has 2 amnions and 2 chorions. This is a common misconception. My own twins are identical, yet they had separate sacs and separate placentas that implanted on polar opposite sides of the uterus. DNA tested have proven their zygosity. Whether identical twins will have their own placentas is dependent upon when the egg split. In my case, the egg probably splip immediately after conception and conception likely took place in the fallopian tube.
