How do you find out if twins?

Hi everyone, I'm 7 weeks week my second pregnancy. I have an 18 month old son. I'm feeling symptoms a lot sooner and stronger this time, increased nausea, lightheadedness, fatigue. Twins run in my family. I have an appointment with OB nurse at 8.5 weeks but I don't think they are doing an ultrasound then. Just wondering when one wound find out if they are carrying twins?

  • Occasionally, you can hear two HBs on the Doppler, but the only way to know for sure is a US.

  • An ultrasound is when you'll find out. If you browse some of the older threads, you'll notice a number of 2nd+ time moms have earlier/stronger symptoms this time around. Every pregnancy is different, you very well could be carrying one and just experiencing it differently.

    A trained Doppler tech may be able to tell 2 heart beats vs one, but there's no guarantee that you'll be able to hear hbs simultaneously that early on.

    This. An ultrasound is the only way to really know.
