Did anyone have a feeling they were having twins and find they were right?

[SaraKatie]

I am 6 weeks pregnant and just have a weird feeling I'm having twins. I really don't know why.

I have one DD and I felt like I knew the minute I fell pregnant with her. I was taking tests way too early and each time they were negative I just thought oh it is just too early still, but I never thought maybe I'm not pregnant.

A few months ago I got a positive pregnancy test and I just didn't believe it. I kept telling my husband I just wasn't sure. A few days later I had an early miscarriage.

This time again I knew I was pregnant. I had a dream one night that I was. Woke up that morning (9 DPO), did the test and it had a line. I literally just nodded when it came up. It didn't surprise me at all! For the last few weeks I've just had a weird feeling that it's twins. I couldn't tell you why. But the feeling is so strong I've been thinking logistics in terms of childcare etc. I haven't told anyone because I think they'd think I'm crazy!

I wonder if our brain somehow knows these things. Like, somewhere in our brain we must be aware of the pregnancy hormones in our body, so maybe that's where these feelings come from? I feel like I knew with my daughter and this pregnancy because of the pregnancy hormones, and I knew the other pregnancy wasn't quite right because there weren't enough hormones, and it resulted in a chemical. I don't know... but I'll be interested to see when I get my first scan!

Anyone experience this?

Our twins were a huge shock, I had an early scan as I was supposed to have a copper coil in place (they couldn't find it though).
1st trimester I had bad nausea but I had worse with current singleton, I was convinced there must be a twin hiding but nope.

I know a few people who were absolutely convinced they were having twins, and didn’t - I think that’s quite common; there’s always a few threads on here at any point about it, too.

The only person I know who actually has twins has no idea until her 12 week scan, weirdly!

With my third pregnancy I didn’t feel right at all the first few weeks. I said to my now exhusband there’s either something wrong or it’s twins. It was twins.

I knew I was pregnant before my BFP, my instincts were right. I had no idea however that I was carrying twins and my 13 week scan came as a huge shock.

I know someone who did end up having twins. She knew deep down early on as her partner was a twin and even very early on in the pregnancy she was getting massive

Absolutely knew I was having twins, they are 25 now. Back then you had your first scan at 10 weeks, I said to my husband while waiting to be seen, it's twins. I saw two 'blobs' on the screen and just knew. When she confirmed it was twins I was, yep thought so.
Mind you I was getting so big at an alarming rate and was so sick up to 20 weeks but worth it.

I didn’t know. Didn’t even realise I was pregnant until about 10 weeks (periods hadn’t returned after a stillbirth two months before). Scan was a shock. DH was trying to park the car so came in late mid me being told and almost keeled over in shock when he saw the screen! Luckily I was on the bed or I would have done too. It was only because a relative commented that I still looked pregnant that I took a test. No sickness, sore boobs, tiredness or metallic taste that were early signs with my other pregnancies. The SPD later on made up for that though!

I've lost the last big thread about it and I'm desperate to know if it was or wasn't twins

I think an awful lot of people wonder if they're pregnant with twins. Agree with pp there are many threads here on it. I wouldn't have been surprised as I had a v strong positive line on the test and a few other things but actually I was a week further along (with a singleton) than I thought. Re the pp whose partner was a twin, I thought the liklihood of twins came from your own family history?

I had a dream the year before that I had twins (although I dreamt g/g twins and I have b/g). A strong line came up straight away on the pregnancy test.

@BastardMonkfish This one? The OP wasn't having twins - I don't think it's been updated in a while though.

@TakeYourFinalPosition ah thank you! I would have wondered forever lol.
