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 OP! My mum had twins after me and took out insurance against twins on the day she missed her period (back in the 80s so no way she could have known) as her symptoms were so strong. Got a big payout when my bro and sis were born!

Jessie every crossed, and what Pacific said whether there is one in there or six I hope he/she/they are healthy. Flowers

(I had a scan for cramping and slight shoulder pain at 8'3 everything was fine just put down to general aches and pains, although baby did look somewhat alien like)

ChatEnOeuf · 24/02/2017 10:51

Good luck. I knew with my twin pregnancy - very early symptoms and +ve test before my period was late. So much so, I thought I'd messed my dates up! Sadly I miscarried them at around 8w. I hope all is well in there, regardless of how many there are.

Good luck!

Hope all is well OP. Flowers

Fingers crossed for you OP. I had a twin pregnancy and lost one at about 11 weeks. I only found this out at my 12 weeks scan and had no idea that it was twins. I had no miscarriage symptoms and certainly no cramping so as previous posters have said, it may just be general aches and pains with it being your 4th pregnancy. Apparently a 'disappearing twin' is quite common and it's only because we have scans so early now that they are picked up.

Good luck with your scan!
