Am I having twins?!

Am I having twins?!

So I have my first scan in a weeks time, but I was just wanting to discuss some of your experiences to see how they might line up with mine.

This is my first pregnancy.
When I first tested positive, I had a two day implantation bleed with quite intense cramping on the second day, followed by 1-2 days of no spotting and then another day of spotting. Because I had two lots of spotting I was sent to the early pregnancy unit for bloods over 24 hours and a scan scheduled for a week later.
My bloods came back as having HCG more than tripled where it was expected to only double.
The scan showed my little bean and it was over in 2-mins so I have no indication of whether or not they were looking for anything else and may have missed a twin as I was only 5+5 at the time.

Following this, I have had severe sickness lasting all day, 0 appetite and bad headaches and fatigue.
I already started showing a bump at 7 weeks(pictured), which many family members and friends said wasn't possible until I showed them, and its now a lot more pronounced at 10-weeks.

One or two, its a blessing either way that I am really excited for. I'm just getting a bit impatient for my scan and discussing will be interesting.

Thanks!

It’s hard to say. I had twins for my second pregnancy and my numb still didn’t show until the 3 month mark.

Either way, it’s an exciting time. Congratulations 🥳

I feel exactly the same as you! I am a size 8-10 and feel like I have a little bump already. I am only 4w 3d so the baby is like the size of a poppy seed lol... This is my first pregnancy though so everything all feels different. I have had a headache for a couple of days, feel very nauseas and am really tired... Husband keeps saying it's twins! 😂

Numb? Womb!!!

Its an exciting time. My babies are all adults but I remember it well. Enjoy it ladies. 😃

Congratulations either way!🥳

13 weeks with twins. Started showing at 11 weeks. Had a strong line on my first pregnancy test and extreme tiredness. Otherwise only a scan will tell

Discovered I'm carrying twins 2 weeks ago. Already have two kids

Its not out of the realm of possibility. But if the first scan didnt pick-up signs of two fetuses, then I'd lean more into it's just the first trimester.

As PP mentioned, only a scan will confirm. You can also pay for a private one if you're keen.

I can't speak to the hCG or early scans as I never had any, but I most definitely had a noticeable bump by 7 weeks. At the 12 week scan there was most definitely only the one in there. Thank goodness he was. He was difficult enough as a singleton. Two of him would have finished me off.

I had "dye stealer" tests also. Will update after the scan 🙏

I was showing at 6 weeks 4 days ( i couldnt believe i had a prominent bump )and had a scan due to some bleeding and there definately isnt twins. At that stage of pregnancy its mostly gas a hormone changes. I was a size 8 before pregnancy so maybe a 'bump' is more noticeable if youre small.

That makes a lot of sense. I am only small myself so I did think it could me that my body just had no room 😅
