Anyone having multiples??

hello! I am 9 weeks along and a random "feeling" I had today made me wonder if I'm pregnant with twins. Even though I already had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and only showed 1 baby. Didn't think I had any family history of multiples but when I shared my "feeling" with my mom today she told me there were twins born on my dads side of the family.

I'm wondering if anyone has confirmed multiples and what your symptoms are? Is it too early to tell??

Re: Anyone having multiples??

  • I was about 8 weeks when we found baby #2, I was on fertility drugs so we always knew we had a higher chance. As far as signs.. I have very bad MS, but I have seen a lot of singleton moms who have it worst then me. So really only one way to know... to see it on the US. ..but I always knew in my heart before I was pregnant we were going to have twins I had many dreams of twins.

  • I am! I'm 3 months pregnant with Twins. I found out at 7 weeks that it was twins. Before that everyone would ask me how the babies were doing and I would say it's just 1 baby. Lol! But I think part of me knew that it was twins.
  • We discovered our twins at 7 weeks and I've definitely not had symptoms any worse than the majority of singleton moms around here. If anything, I think I'm pretty darn lucky in comparison. The only reason I had a hunch it was multiples was because our HCG beta tests were very high, plus we had done fertility treatments so the risk of multiples is higher. I'm 11w4d now and the babies have been very obvious at all three scans we've had.

  • Ditto - PPs. Until you've confirmed multiples via u/s, no multiples. My pregnancy symptoms are IDENTICAL this time around with one relative to my prior twin pregnancy. Beyond that, a multiples pregnancy won't be OBVIOUSLY visibly different than a singleton at the same gestation for many, many more weeks.

  • I found out we were having identical twins at 7 weeks. Funny thing that morning I had a dream that the ultrasound showed 2 babies. I told my husband and we just laughed and laughed at the thought. Then when we had the ultrasound and she told us. We laughed and then realized it was true. We are very excited of the news and so is all our family. I feel like my tummy had already taken on more of a pregnant shape. My boobs stopped hurting about 2 weeks back and I have plenty of all day "morning sickness". Other then that I'm doing and feeling fine. And very much so looking forward to all the changes these babies will bring to our life's.
  • Hey! I am 13 weeks and I am having twins. I got to know in my first ultra sound. It was amazing feeling. The symptoms are same for both. I think symptoms will be different in second trimester because of movement. Cant wait for that.

    My twin pregnancy was missed twice via ultrasound where I was told only one baby both times. Once at 5w5d and 7w5d discovered after I was rearended the next day 7w6d and went to ER to make sure the baby was ok and thats when we were told we were expecting twins. Babies measuring 8 weeks. Now almost 13 weeks :-)
  • Definitely don't pay any attention to the other twin/multiples threads or the "twin moms check in" thread directly above yours. And no, it's not too early to know if you are having twins. If your dr only saw one sac, it's one sac. No matter how many "feelings" you have.
  • We saw our twins on ultrasound at 6 weeks. If the Dr said there's only 1 at 8 weeks....then there's probably only 1.

  • We found my twins at 6 weeks.
  • We found out we were having twins at 6 weeks but I had a feeling from 4 weeks that it was twins as I got my BFP after IVF with 2 embryos transferred,and my first HCG level was 695 at 4 weeks. I am 9weeks 3 days today and my first inkling of twins was early round ligament pain like I was growing more rapidly than I should!
