I may have multiples... Please read story

Good Morning,

I'm not officially on this board (yet) but I had my first Dr appt yesterday.  From my last AF I would be 7 weeks. 

First here is a little background. My last AF was October 5.  I was charting so I am almost 100% I OV that cycle when we concieved.  I have been feeling fine but my stomach is pretty big to be just 7 wks. I thought I was just bloated but my stomach is pretty hard. Basically I look about 3-4 months.

Ok... so we go to the Dr.  I tell him that I think I am too big, he just kind of blows it off.  Then he goes down and does what I assume is a routine check with his hands to feel around and stops and says.... "are you sure that was your last period".  I said yes.  He said either you are having twins or your 12 weeks along!  We were not able to get an u/s, I have to schedule it for next week.

Please share if you have a similar story.

Wow, my story is not similar but congrats on your BFP.  As everyone here will say, an ultrasound is the only way to know, good luck with yours

Stranger things have happened! Good luck at your u/s next week, no matter how many you're having.

Congrats on your BFP! Hope you can get an u/s early next week so you can get some answers.

Not to scare you, but when I was 6 weeks pg with a singleton, I measured 12 weeks. Turns out I had a fibroid. This is something they'll see on u/s and generally doesn't cause any problems with pg. (I lost the pg but NOT b/c of the fibroid).

Hope you get great news. GL!

Congrats on your pregnancy.  As others have said, the only way to know is by u/s.  I had no signs and Dr had no suspicions, we didn't find out until our first u/s at 11 weeks.  GL!

When my doc did my pelvic, he said "so, you're about 10 weeks?"  I said "nooo, I'm pretty sure I'm only 8."  The u/s followed the pelvic, which is standard practice at my office, and sure enough - two babies.

I agree with pps, though, that u/s is the only way to tell.  There could be something else going on like a fibroid or cyst.  GL next week!

I had a similar experience in that I thought I was having twins before my appointment too. I was pregnant before and ended up having a miscarriage, but this time around I felt much bigger than the first time. I kept telling DH there were two in there and this was at 5 and 6 weeks! We had my 1st appointment at about 7 1/2 weeks and sure enough, two babies! They do say a mother's intuition is usually right.

GL to you and congrats on your BFP!

This only at 12 weeks

Your story is basically what happened to me. We had a dr. appt. at 8.5 weeks and just felt "too big" for how far along I was supposed to be. An ultrasound revealed two babies. It can happen!
