to think I'm not 'bonkers' for thinking I might be pregnant with twins?

This is my fourth pregnancy. With the first three I didn't truly believe I was pregnant until the scan as I didn't feel any symptoms at all. This time I tested early and a clearly visible line appeared within thirty seconds. I felt 'heavy' in my stomach within a week, totally went off food, feel completely sick and can't eat after 2pm, apologies for TMI but I have lots of discharge, a really dry mouth, I've gone up a dress size and look the same as I did at 4 months pregnant during my last pregnancy.

I've seen people looking but they've been too polite to ask. I've had lots of cramping and have been so tired I've had to pull over after driving for just ten minutes. All this and I'm only 9 weeks. I mentioned to my sister today that I'm worried it could be twins and she said I was bonkers and over dramatic and that it's just because I'm older than my last pregnancy and because all pregnancies are different. I agree the latter could well be the case but I was only last pregnant two years ago. I feel so very different and think twins could be the reason. AIBU to suspect it or am I being a drama queen?

Good luck! I felt "very pregnant" with twins - much more than with one.

I knew that I was carrying more than one. I didn't even have sickness, I just knew it was different this time around. My midwife took me seriously and booked me in for an early scan and there were 3 of the buggers in there. They turn 18 next month.

I didn't think my second pregnancy was twins my dh did. He was kicking himself as had even looked into twin insurance without telling me but didn't go ahead with it. My twins are now 5 ! I guess he thought telling me I looked fatter than I should wasn't a good plan with the hormones (and vomit) flying anyway.

Good luck OP.

I had quite a lot of cramping and a bleed which is how I found out it was twins but I didn't have any symptoms other than dizziness. I didn't show until about 14 weeks at which point I ballooned. I didn't make it to term even though I looked it!!

RiversrunWoodville · 23/02/2017 21:58

I had very similar symptoms with my second pregnancy very visible bump by six weeks. It was twins

RiversrunWoodville · 23/02/2017 21:59

Not bonkers. Only a scan will tell

pinkpanther6 · 23/02/2017 22:02

We were trying for a baby and as soon as I got a positive test I was convinced it was twins, I had terrible one sided pains, google suggested implamtion cramps I ignored it but ended up at the doctors who suspected an ectopic pregnancy and sent me to hospital. An early scan showed a healthy twin pregnancy and my boys will be 3 the 10th march. Hope all is ok xx
