    Hi congrats on your pregnancy!

    I am at 11 weeks with twins, and can tell you that I had overwhelming tiredness and Morning sickness like you wouldn't believe!! With my first born, I had no symptoms what so ever and bloomed all the way through, but with these two in my belly, I have been nothing but sick! I have been totally off my food, and my mouth felt like I'd been sucking a duracell battery, I totally went off tea and coffee and drank water like a fish.

    The symptoms are starting to ease now thank goodness. When I had my first visit to the doctor, she gave me another preg test and she said it was showing verrry strongly that I was pregga's. So I'm guessing you get a double dose of preg hormones with twins.

    Good luck with your first scan, and let me know if it's twinnys!

    Well I am 36 so I guess I am pretty old for having kids. But there are about 4 sets of twins on my other half's mums side of the family. So I guess with those in mind it was inevitable

    When I was pregnant with my twins I was really sick. from about 4 weeks until about 18 weeks, but because I was so sick I barely ate anything. It is funny but before I fell pregnant with the twins I always had this feeling in my heart that I would one day have twins, I don't know why. Sounds a little silly but I guess it was just meant to be.

    Other than the sickness I started to show really early. I had a belly by 9 weeks

    Good luck when you go for your appointment.

    Hi,
    I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick that I was rushed to hospital. I lost 7kg in 7 days I could'nt keep anything down and the toilet bowl was my best friend. That's how I found out that I was having twins. We couldn't believe it as this made 5 children.

    HI! i am currently 15 weeks with twins and from about week 6, i was super sick every day, i could barely get out of bed and i would just snooze all day and all night. this was till a few weeks ago, i still get the odd queasiness and random vomiting, but my tiredness is still going strong, yet i am lucky if i can sleep through the night, if the crazy dreams dont freak me out! i was showing at about 9-10 weeks and im massive now!

    the funny thing is this is my first pregnancy, and i had always hoped i could have twins, and pretty much from the beginning i had a feeling i was having them. fraternal twins run in both my mothers and my partners fathers side, but i am lucky to be having identicals! my partner and i feel like we won the lottery ( when the panic doesnt set in!)!!

    does the tiredness ever stop? and did any of you twin mums suffer lots of cramping like period pain?? i get it every day since about 4 weeks!!
