Any way of knowing if its twins?

Usually twins need to be in your family and they skip a generation, there are of course times when there is no twins in families and people have them but most of the time if you have a chance of having twins then it is because they are in your family. As for the skipping a generation, I am a twin, but I wont have twins, my children will most likely have them if they are lucky. But also in our family is a member who is a twin and his partner had twins. So the skipping a generation isn't always correct.

I have seen lots of people have twins that are twins themselves. Fertility treatment also increases the chances. I also have a friend who has 30sets of identical twins in her immediate family and one set of faternal twins despite them saying identical twins do not run in families. She is an identical twin herself and also has identical twin boys concieved through IVF when they implanted one embryo.

Yep, as I said it doesn't always skip a generation like they say it does. I also watched a report not that long ago that talked about the increase in twins and as you said Emmy you have an increased chance when having IVF treatment.

you would definately know at your 7 week ultrasound if you were carrying twins. I never had an early ultrasound and had no signs or symptoms i was carrying two. I even had a dopler (heartbeat) at 10 weeks and mr dr only picked up 1 heartbeat. I found out at 20 weeks i was carrying twins.

Try not to stress hun i had no clue until my 20 week scan and was so upset not knowing what to do. But if you are blessed with one or even two babies once theyre born it all comes naturally and you will automatically know what to do. I was never really the motherly type and was scared i wouldnt know what to do or how to share my love but trust me hun one your bubba is born you will be amazing and being a mummy.
