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"
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
So had my scan and it seems I'm having a baby the size of Danny De Vito ! Glad everything looks fine and baby looks healthy so here we go growing one big healthy baby !
My reply is a little late because my mum ended up in hospital with heart failure so I've been a little consumed. She's going to be ok but she almost died so have been through a little bit of a whirlwind in the last week....
Thanks for all your support and kind words and excitement. Now I can stop looking at twin prams
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
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
So doc thinks I might be having multiples !!!
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"
