anyone ever heard of this?

I'm an identical twin but only recently found out that my mum's pregnancy was strange. Me and my twin sister were in two separate amniotic sacs but with a bigger one surrounding us as well, so there were three sacs. What does this mean lol? Me and my twin are definitely identical when we were younger no one could tell us apart at all, we still look very similar but slightly different at the same time. I'm just curious if any one has ever heard of this or has experienced it first hand as I don't know why that happened and how it happens?
