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
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!!
Yep the tiredness did stop for me at around 18 weeks, try to eat iron and vit c enriched foods that will help you get your energy levels back. And yep I had cramping pain, it's your uterus growing to make room for the bubs, a hot water bot or heat pack will help with the cramping and you are allowed to take ordinary paracetamol in pregnancy too if it's really bad. I also had a lot of trapped wind in the early stages which would probably account for some of the cramping too.
Congrats to you on the identicals, I'm having identicals too, will you be finding out their sex? This is my second pregnancy, we already have a 5 year old boy and are delighted to be having girls, I was very emotional when the sonographer told me, I couldn't believe our luck!
