According to my (current) dates, I am 12 or 13 weeks pregnant. However, at my prenatal visit today, my NM said that I'm measuring 17 or 18 weeks! Now, I'm positive that my LMP is correct, since before the last one I hadn't been active for two years. I'm also reasonably sure I felt fetal movement, it happened twice the other day within about 5 mins of each other. At 12 or 13 weeks I know it's fairly uncommon for this to happen. So, what are my chances that I am having twins? I was a twin, but my sister was stillborn at 5 months while I survived to full term. My mother also lost one other set of twins at about 6 weeks. Based on this info, does anyone else think this is a distinct possibility? I am also willing to acknowledge the possibility of fibroids or excess amniotic fluid, since my NM was able to find a heartbeat but quickly lost it. Does anyone have any input on this? I'm having an ultrasound next week by the way, but I'm trying to prepare myself for anything.
