I was extremely sick, extremely tired, had super high hcg levels, high blood pressure, and a very very strong feeling. I also felt something wasn't right and at my 6 wk ultrasound, we found a second bubbs, but the sac was in the midst of colapsing.
I also have since worked out with my dates I was getting very definate positives off HPT's VERY early, at 9dpo it came up straight away.
I got so big so quick with my 3rd I though there had to be twins in there always had to ask if there isnt another heart beat.... Never was and only had one baby girl... I think with the 3rd as your body has been there a few times before it goes staight to been round LOL.... I am always sick so there was no difference there the heat too could be knocking you around a bit as to why you are sicker this time or you could be just having a different sex to the last PG....
Hi,
I think I kind of knew from the start.
We found out at our 6 week scan and I said to the doctor then "Oh thank god, at least that explains why I am already showing!"
Although I do remember going to bed the night before our first scan, patting my stomach and thinking "Oh well, this will be the last night I can pretend there are two" How right I was - after that I KNEW there were two!
Best of luck with your pregnancy, however many you are having!
I think if you mention that fraternal twins run in your family the doc should send you for a scan asap. My DH's cousin didn't go to the doc til about 16 weeks with her first. When he found out she was a fraternal twin he sent her for an emergency u/s. Only one.
When she fell pg the second time she had her first scan at 7 weeks - just to be safe.....She now has 7 month old identical twin girls!
Another friend waited with her 2nd pg til ahe was around 5 months. She never suspected a thing, but my MIL did. Sent for an emergency u/s coz her measurements said she only had 4 weeks to go......wrong! Still 4 months, but there were 2 babies hiding in there.
Her brother was a fraternal twin, but they lost one early in the pg & her aunt had fraternal twins, so no skipping generations there.
Go ask for a scan or a BT, really high HCG levels can be an indicater too.
I got a call from the birth centre a few minutes ago. They asked me to go to a GP (they recommended one for me) and get bloods and request an early scan. We head in to the Dr at 1:10 qld time today. We will know how many are there by the end of the month I think!
Whooohooo how exciting for you, congrats on your BFP. I was pretty sure before my 5 week scan. I had pain in both ovaries and was as sick as a dog. Not so much tummy growth, but just intuition, IFYKWIM. We are expecting fraternal B/G twins so I guess I ovulated from each ovary.
We had no idea. This is our 2nd pg but I showed early and grew out of my jeans at 6wks. I thought it was because my body was making a head start on growing the belly.
I almost bolted out the door when i found out we were having twins during our dating scan. I blamed DH but of course he had nothing to do with it.
Hope you find out soon. Congrats either way on the 3rd pg.

How early did you know/suspect multiples?
