Hi Sallymarie,

My mum had twins. They are now 29, so back in the day there were no scans etc prior to 18 weeks. So she had no idea until almost half way through and she didn't look any different then a person with 1 baby. It wasn't until the 2nd half of her preg that things become noticably bigger.

With a strong line of twins on both sides of the family I was REALLY worried about having twins. I have never wanted twins and that didn't change when I got pregnant. By 12 weeks I had been feeling bloated and thought my belly was bigger (which I felt was far too early to grow) so took myself to the Dr and asked for a scan. When we only saw one baby I was so releaved!
It all sounds like a pretty normal pregnancy to me.
Mum says the biggest difference is the morning sickness is frequent, intense and for her didn't stop until after she had given birth to them!

Hope this helps! Take care
