Dr acts surprised by what he feels?!

So, I've been to the Dr. twice (different doctor each time) and when doing the exam and feeling the size of my uterus, they both acted surprised by what they felt. As though I felt further along than I should be. They have said that everything is fine, but I can't shake the uneasy feeling of their surprise. lol

The big thought running through my head... Twins. And, I'm a bit freaked out. I'm trying to think of other reasons I may feel farther along but I'm struggling to come up with them. I used FF, so I could possibly be 2-3 days further along, but not the week or so that the Dr's implied. Plus, it doesn't help that after I get pregnant that both DH's side of the family and MY side of the family come clean and say there is a history of twins. WTF!??! Especially with my family... It would've been nice if they mentioned that before now. lol

Oy-vey!

    You didn't know you had twins in your family before? It's only fraternal twins that are genetic, if that matters. When do you get an ultrasound?

    Heh, exactly! I had no clue that there were twins in my family before. When my dad said there were, you should have seen the look on my face. Apparently my great grandfather (on my dad's side) was a twin. Not sure if it was identical or fraternal. And then DH told me that there are fraternal twins on his side.

    I'm scheduled for an ultrasound on July 19th when I'm 10.5 weeks. I keep telling myself there probably isn't much of a chance for twins, but the last Dr. visit I had he guessed I was a week further along that I actually was. When I told him I was a week less. He just raised his eyebrows and said "Hmm, ok, well everything looks great". lol

    With my first daughter I always looked farther along because of too much fluid.... maybe that's all it is? Good luck on your u/s!

    Thank You!  Maybe that's what it is. This is my first pregnancy so I'm probably just ultra-sensitive to everything I see and feel. hehe Smile

    At my friend's first appointment, they said her uterus was much larger then they expected, but when they finally did an u/s, everything was perfect.  Try not to worry.

    Measuring off by a week is pretty typical I think (for what I've experienced/ heard). Don't worry, I'm sure the u/s will give you piece of mind!
