Curious about symptoms

Hi all! I am 8 weeks pregnant and going for my first prenatal checkup and ultrasound next friday. I was wondering, did any of you have any symptoms early on that led you to believe you had 2 babies instead of 1 inside of you?

    Congrats and GL at your next appt!

    To answer your Q, no I didn't--but then again this is my 1st pg (don't have any singleton PG's to compare it to) and we did IVF so we had a chance/ feeling that multiples might be in store. There's no way of knowing though until that 1st ultrasound. 

    Wishing you a happy & healthy PG!!

    I was extremely tired and had alot of morning sickness...but did not in any way expect twins! In fact, I was so out of it during the ultrasound that I didn't realize the pic was showing 2 babies until the tech told me.

    Not at all, but then again this is my first pregnancy.  I read things that say that the nausea may be worse, etc, but I've had no morning sickness what so ever so far.

    No clue even though it was a possibility because I had two follies when I did my IUI.

    I had no clue.  I had more extreme fatigue/nausea/food aversions, but they literally only lasted 1 week.

    Absolutely none.  We were completely shocked.

    I was SO incredibly sick w/ MS by 7 weeks that we suspected.

    I just  found out yesterday that we're expecting twins and this is my fourth pregnancy.  I have to admit there was an underlying hunch  that something was not quite normal.  I have been sooo extremely tired and soooooo extremely sick, I honestly thought I was going crazy because I have felt almost non functionable.  With my other pregnancies I was tired but nothing too bad and I never had nausea or vomiting so to answer your question... Yes I did think there was a possibility there was 2 in there.  I now know, I'm not crazy after all... LOL

     Best Wishes and let us know how it goes!!

    I was surprised to find out we were having twins this time, but not at the same time. Looking back, things were different than my 1st pregnancy. But I just chalked it up to every pregnancy being different, not multiples...until that first u/s that is! But even still--at first the OB just got 1 baby on the screen and she said, "There's just 1" and I felt relief...like I was expecting her to say 2, but it was silly to think so, ya know? Then she moved the wand and found the 2nd baby, LOL!

    Basically---I was WAY hungry, very, very early. I remember saying to people, "I shouldn't be starving like this already!". I was also a lot more exhausted this time around in the beginning. M/S was different too. Not worse though, just different. With DS I had that all day sick feeling, but could easily control it w/ eating a snack or ginger ale. This time it wasn't everyday, but when I felt sick, I was SICK. It knocked me down. So, IDK if those are necessarily "symptoms" that would clue anyone in to multiples, but that's waht it was like for me.

    No, and only an U/S can tell you for sure.  Each pregnancy varies from person to person so one multiple mama may have m/s while another one has none.

    I had not a clue. I found out at 16 weeks and it was the shock of my life. I was not showing early, no morning sickness, does not run in my family and the list goes on.
