So doc thinks I might be having multiples !!!

[Earthmama]

I went for my 10 week check up and she looks at me and says " You look a lot bigger than you should for this stage, I might just have a little listen and see if we can hear anything". I joked that I'd been joking around with DH and friends that it looks like i'm carring twins haha! And she says " well we won't hear a heart beat this early but if we do it's triplets" and then laughed like she was joking then....we hear a heartbeat She then said "Maybe you're more advanced than you think?" And I said I can't be because I know when we conceived and I know when I had my period...Then she said "It may mean multiples" and "If you wern't already booked in for an U/S I'd be ordering one"

I'm scared and excited at the same time.

But does this sound right to you??

How did you find out ?

We find out on Tuesday

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Oh wow how exciting!!!

I have no experience but all the best for tuesday!

[Traveller]

That's so exciting! Good luck for the scan on Tuesday

From a personal note, my twins were not diagnosed until much later (21 weeks) and up to that point frequent abdominal examinations didn't reveal anything extra. A friend of mine, similar to you, was sent for an early scan due to fundal height and audible HB but she only had one baby. So it could go either way but still very exciting

[~Ash~]

That is so exciting!!! Can't wait to hear how you go - I can imagine that exciting and scared at the same time thing lol

Thanks girls ! I'm thinking it's going to be one big one butam prepared for anything. Happy and healthy goes without saying going in with an open mind. Thanks again

I found out I was having my twins at a scan at 7 weeks, but I didn't actually start showing until I was 12 weeks then I just popped and kept growing and growing and growing.

Everyone carries differently so could be one or it could be more. Good luck for Tuesday... But if it is more than 1 then remember that it is double the work but more than double the love

[starangelk]

Wow - that's amazing. I was asked over and over if I was carrying twins by both professionals and strangers but I think I just got big and looked big. The heartbeat thing though and the GP assuming triplets? Well that would freak me out!! Best wishes and can't wait to hear

[Earthmama]

The triplet comment the doc made was said in a joking way haha! I guess we'll just take it as it comes and ce la vie !

[~Serenity~]

if it makes you feel better my uterus currently measures at 19 odd cm above pubic bone and im 12 weeks and there is deff only one

Wow! That's very exciting! I'm excited to hear the scan results Good luck (for whatever you want)

You must be DYING to know!! Make sure you update us

I'm a little confused, perhaps someone can fill me in- do multiples have stronger heartbeats? Why does an early audible heartbeat mean you may have multiples?

[*EJ*]

Wow!! Very exciting and a little scary i'm sure. Look forward to hearing your news

Meow this could be way off track but with being more babies and less room would it make it more likely that heartbeats may be easy to hear as they aren't necessarily nestled in the middle with all that sound proofing around them?? I have no idea

[~clover~]

A friend of mine found out she was having twins because of her size

At 24 weeks they thought she was a bit big & started meauring fundal height... She measured 36 weeks! She was sent for an emergency u/s & found out there were 2

Another was a fraternal twin herself, so they send her early for u/s. She has identicals. Very rare i hear

[ladybirdflies]

I was wondering how people found out without ultra sounds, was it just a big surprise??? Goodluck, like you said either way you will be happy happy joy joy. What is your due time?

[Amy_jellybean]

Best of luck for Tuesday x

[trishalishous]

good luck for tuesday!
with my twin pregnancy we had 2 heartbeats at 10 weeks(my first scan), and this pregnancy (1 bub) there was an audible heartbeat at 9weeks

[chody47]

How did the scan go?

[Liviam]

How fabulous, scary, exciting and terrifying all at the same time. Best of luck with your scan. Can't wait to hear how many babies you're growing.
