When did you find out it was more than One??

How far along were you when you found out you're having more than one baby? My grandpa is a twin & my husbands grandma is a twin. She warned me the other day that its "our generation" this time. So now I'm a little worried....

    I found out at 6 weeks. 

     

    P.S.  Your husband's family having twins has nothing to do with whether or not you will.  Grandma is misinformed.  Smile

    Thanks! I am only 4 weeks, so there are a couple more weeks until i go to the doctor. Twins would be a blessing, but ill still be a little worried until that first ultrasound.

    This is true....it all comes down to your genes....and I believe that gene would be carried from your mother's side so it might depend on which grandpa was a twin (I could be wrong about this though). Of course, identicals can happen to anyone. 

    I found out at 7 weeks so it shouldn't be long for you. Good luck! :)

    Our first u/s at 11w6d.

    And pp's are correct that twins in your husband's family, or identical twins in yours, don't impact your chances of having twins. Also, the idea that twins "skip a generation" is a myth.

    Best of luck to you!

    exactly at 6 wks at an u/s.  If all the twins are on you H's side, it has no bearing on you.  If it were on your maternal side, that would be different.  GL!

    8 weeks, after an external they had to do an internal to make sure the heartbeat they were seeing wasn't a pulsating umbilical cord...it wasn't. :)

    Correct. My ID twins just showed up out of the blue - it never occurred to me there'd be more than one in there.

    I had an ultrasound a 7ish weeks due to some bleeding.  Otherwise it probably would have been at the a/s!
