1. I'm the mother of identical twins. I didn't find out I was having twins until my first ultrasound at 21weeks! I was measuring right where someone with one baby would, the doctor only ever found one heartbeat with the doppler, and my belly was even smaller than a friend of mine who was due 3 weeks after me!
2. My only "twin pregnancy symptom" was horrible morning sickness. I was on three different prescriptions plus using SeaBands and ginger it was so bad. I was also really tired and taking mid-day and after-work naps alot for a few weeks early on.
3. Twins can happen to anyone - they don't have to "run in your family". I have no family history and ended up with identical twins which happen by random chance. (Every pregnancy has a 1 in 250 chance of being identical twins.)
Hope this helps and good luck with your baby (or babies!!)

Twins run in my family, and my aunt said she didn't have any more symptoms than she did otherwise. It was an ultrasound that revealed baby #2. If you believe this tell your doctor. He can schedule an ultrasound to check it out. It will have to be a vaginal ultrasound so be prepared for that.
I've had those with my first pregnancy and just yesterday with this pregnancy. It isn't bad at all! It's a little tube and they cover it with a condom. Usually the pictures are much better than the ones you get at your 20+ week ultrasound as well.

You can only really tell by an ultrasound, and you should be having one soon. Have you made a doctor's appointment yet? I had my ultrasound at about 10 weeks and thought I might be having twins, but wasn't. You may just be having a big baby, and everyone's different when it comes to pregnancy symptoms--you're just so lucky you aren't having morning sickness anymore! :-)

Do women who are pregnant with twins, triplets or more exhibit special "symptoms"? Yes ... and no. Just as individual women experience a wide range of symptoms with a singleton pregnancy, so the conditions vary with multiples.
It's true that the morning sickness, exhaustion and weight gain can be intensified in proportion to the number of babies -- twice as sick, three times as tired, or four times as many pounds! But, some lucky moms experience only mild discomfort, so mild that they never even suspect they are carrying multiples.

Your pregnancy symptoms can sometimes be a little worse when carrying twins. However, the only way you can really know if you are having two is with an ultrasound. No matter if there is one or two in there, you will be exhausted!

I also have a sequence of girls folk twins. confident, they have been in 2 separate sacs with 2 separate placentas, and that commonly potential fraternal. Their heart costs the place continuously distinctive. One exchange into continuously slower than the different. yet, they regarded plenty alike and being a similar intercourse and having a similar blood variety, the medical doctors suggested that for the reason that that they had 2 separate sacs and placentas, they have been fraternal, yet being a similar intercourse and comparable blood variety and searching so alike, they suggested they could be comparable. I even have in no way had a DNA to be certain for specific, don't experience like i could. I merely tell human beings they are comparable.

everyone thought my mom was having a single baby during her third pregnancy, but she found out the first ultra sound it was twins and months later my brother and I were both born.
I asked her this once and she said she didnt know but she was pretty sure it was twins because she felt a lot heavier from when she had my sisters - they're three years apart, separate births obviously.

I think it would be best for you to see a doctor if you really want to know, a doctor would be able to do an ultrasound/sonogram in order to determine if there are two fetus. I felt the same way you are feeling now but there was only one fetus.

hi--you can only tell by Ultrasound...symptoms of early pregnancy (fatigue, morning sickness, etc) can be exaggerated with a twin pregnancy but not necessarily. I was preg with triplets and had NO morning sickness :)
good luck!

Symptoms are no different with twins versus a single birth. Tell your Dr how you are feeling...they will find it at your first ultrasound...or even sooner when you go to hear the heartbeat.
