I've been looking at the old wives tales about what signs mean girl vs boy and i seem to have both even at the 2nd Trimester and i think it could be twins and i was wondering if one could be hiding? I haven't had a ultrasound since 15 weeks but i've heard they can hide.

I want to make sure I understand.

You are asking if you could be having twins, despite having had at least one u/s showing a singleton pregnancy, because you meet old wives tales for both girls and boys.

Is that the gist of it?

yea lol, one of my friends said that they had a friend that didn't know she was having twins till near the end due to them hugging. I've also seen birthing shows where the baby hid and at birth Surprise twins.

This question... Don't you think your practioner would notice significant weight gain, and that you are measuring ahead- even without an u/s?  OWT don't mean anything.

Not to be rude but I couldn't tell if this was a joke or real.

I fall under both categories too and I'm pretty sure there's just one in there!?

well everyone around me says i'm popping out too quick and some women asked me if i was sure just one was in there. Everytime i go to the doctors the baby seems to be further along to. Since the begining i've lost 5 days off my due date going from the 20th to 15th

Then you will find out at your anatomy scan if it's just one or two.

It's always possible they didn't catch something, but OWT will not tell you if it's twins or one gender over the other.

OWT aside, my mom had this happen (with me and my twin brother).  The ultrasounds showed one baby, the doctors heard one heartbeat, etc.  But my mom thought there were two babies (sorry I don't remember very many details of the story).  In her last month of pregnancy the doctor was like, by golly there are two babies!  My mom wasn't surprised though.

I am having twins and we knew immediately.  I have had a few ultrasounds already and I have no clue where one of them would hide.  The tech also moves the wand around in so many directions that I think by 15 weeks you would be able to see a second sack and baby.

Kind of sad to see people voted that they would never want twins.  I will admit that I am completely overwhelmed and do not even know where to begin as this is my first pregnancy but I would not give them up for the world!

Oh, brother.

I think that a lot of people have "symptoms" from both boy and girl from wives tales, becuase they are not really true. I have some from both as well and after 4 ultrasounds I am convinced that there is only one baby in there!

Why be sad because others would prefer a singleton? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

I would prefer just one because of potential complications, financial reasons, etc. but (like most, I would imagine) would embrace twins if that's how it worked out. It's just not my first choice.

I think the OWT's are silly, but it is possible for a twin to be hiding.  I know two people who recently had several u/s in the first tri and early second and they never saw the second twin till 20 weeks.  Sometimes their heartrates are in sync so it's hard to detect.
