The Ever Looming Question TWINS

2 Replies

I've always kindof secretly disdained people who were "ABSOLUTELY SURE that......" insert anything there... especially when it came to something that generally requires a (real) Dr's diagnosis... But I'm pretty sure I MAY be having pregnant with twins... And, appropriately, freaking out. I don't want to be sure, I'm not hoping for twins, as this pregnancy came right as I decided to finally divorce my husband, but it would be just my life/luck for it to happen... Anyone who's had twins, especially twins in addition to singleton pregnancy(s) PLEASE read my 'symptoms' and help me out... My OB cant get me in for another 2 weeks and I'm going nuts. THANKS! I'm 13 weeks, have known I was pregnant since probably the first week even though I didn't take a test til like the 7th week because of the suddenly HUGE and aching br___ts, around the clock sickness (dry heaves in the morning, on time every day from 6:30-7:00 am, then a general feeling of malaise all day, followed by extreme bloating around 6-7 pm every night) Also, I've been pretty fatigued all day, which reaches its peak at around 8 pm when I crash hard and sleep hard all nite, then become wide awake at 530 or 600 am, and feel awake until around 10, when the fatigue starts again. Also, I'm huge... I was 105 lbs. wearing a size 2 when I conceived in May, now I'm barely squeezing into an 8, and cant even bear to weigh myself. My belly is big and round, and my hips and rear seem to have almost doubled. I've gone up from an A cup to a C. Also, in the first several weeks, I craved lots of crazy foods, mostly fruits and red meat, but now I haven't really had any cravings. I've been urinating a million times a day for it seems like 2 months now. The BIGGEST thing- I swear I've been feeling fetal movement for at least a two weeks, and I feel it a lot, and in different sides of my body, plus I'm already feeling pressure in my pelvic area. PLEASE ANY HELP!?!?! Though its not my honest preference, if I am carrying two little ones I'll still recognize it as twice the joy... But as a newly single mother I need all the time and preparation (to prepare physically as well as emotionally!!!) THANKS AGAIN! PS mother of 2, girls, ages 3 & 4 pretty normal pregnancies with both, "normal" morning sickness, etc...

the only way to know is an u/s. with my first pregnancy i had really bad morning sickness, tender b___st, and fatigue. this time around (7 weeks preg with twins) I still have really bad morning sickness and fatigue but no sore b___sts(maybe from b___stfeeding my son, they are not so sensitive anyomre?) . but the first thing that made me aware that i was even pregnant was being in a grocery store about a week after conception and i could smell everything! super smell nose was in full swing so i took a preg test a few days later and there was a faint positve line. my priod wasnt even due for a week, but i guess with twins the presence of the hormone that detects pregnancy is twice as strong with twins. but i didnt even know all this when i went in for my first dr. appt at 6 1/2 weeks and he told me twins. i would never have guessed. hope that helps you a little. good luck...

I had no idea.... I have a son and I was sick and tired but we had been trying for 1 & 1/2 years with no luck. We had really stopped trying and became content with what we have. I was sick and sooo tired all the time but I had been on antibiotics and thought they caused it when I skipped my period it has been irregular I just a__sumed it was the antibiotics as two weeks went by I took a pregnancy test and I never saw the line come up so fast. I had taken lots of negative test over those 1 and 1/2 years. That’s when I knew it had to be a girl b/c I had never been sick with my son. The symptoms I felt were nothing like with my son. At the doctor I was saying this one is a girl. Her response was "It's a good thing your laying down because you’re having twins" and it turns out they are boys, lol the extreme symptoms must be from the twins. Keep us posted and let us know if its twins or not.
