Im currently 16 weeks pregnant. This is my 6th pregnancy however I have 4 children (one was lost to miscarriage).
I have had simple easy going relitively boring pregnancies with my other children, and didnt seem to show until later much laster on in the pregnancy.
This time round however, we are a little concerned that there maybe more than one. And this pregnancy is certainly very different from all my others. I know each pregnancy is individual and unique but I cant help thinking that my first four were so similar.
This time round I have had morning sickness - well not actually spent time hanging over the pocalin throne, but felt nauseas all day long. Im also experiencing tiredness like I never have before. I could go straight back to sleep an hour after Ive gotten out of bed, I kip in the afternoon, and end up in bed asleep by 9 pm every night (this is unlike me as im usually a night owl).
Im peeing like a trooper (sorry) have had heartburn problems already (again unusual until much later on) and have a belly that looks like its about 6 months pregnant already. I have also felt movement hapopening for about 3 weeks now (I find it hard to believe its movement because its impossible to feel movement so early right??)
There are twins that run on my mothers side, however this is going back 2 - 3 generations, my husband has twins on his side as well.
Unfortunately as I am considered a low risk pregnancy my miswife wont do any ultrasounds until 10th August, and isnt concerned about finding out if its a singleton or double pregnancy until then. Ive been to a doctor about this as well but he is inclined to agree with my midwife.
So now Im just asking for your thoughts. I know its hard to say because you guys dont know me, but maybe someone else has had the same feelings/thoughts and have been right or wrong ...??? I really dont know. Any comments and advice would be great though!!
Thanks all
