I am 16 weeks along with my first and while I had an u/s at 6 weeks and they saw only one heartbeat could I still be having twins? Also, I'm 5' and am wondering if maybe that's why I look so big (I haven't gained any weight). Any ideas?

It could be just the way you carry your child. Don't worry! Its normal, everyone is different. When you have your next appointment they can check for a 2nd heartbeat if you feel its an option.
Good luck & congrats!

Well, I am 14 weeks and I look about 19-20 weeks pregnant! I am only 5'2". This is also my first child. I have an ultrasound Tuesday to see if I may be farther along or if I am carrying multiples... but my midwife said it just may be that I was small to begin with. So it just may be that you are just small in size naturally or with you being only 6 weeks at your first ultrasound they may not have been able to see another baby in there. You should probably be having another ultrasound very soon... oh yeah, I have also been eating exactly what I should be according to the pregnancy dietary list... so if you are doing so too... that could be why.
Good luck!

you are rather small, so that could very well be what it is. but no its more than likely not twins. especially since you are 16 weeks along already. i knew i was having twins at my 8 week ultrasound. your doctor would know. plus if they were worried about you being larger than they would say something, so dont worry about it. everyone is different while they are pregnant, some dont show much at all. i didn't really and i had twins even!! my sis in law was huge and everyone thought she was having twins, but just had a lil boy. lol congrats!!

Every woman is different, You might start looking pregnany very early and ten kinda even out and stay the same size or you may get as big as a house... it doesnt really make a difference with your pregnancy...its just the way the baby decides to grow. Congrat on becoming a mommy and good luck to you!

I am also 5' tall. When I was pregnant with my daughter I looked 7 months at 14 weeks, my doctor told me it's because when your short, the baby has only one way to go, and that's out.

well i'm 18 weeks and im sticking out there, everyone's different and since ur shorter baby weight has only one place to go which is out. taller people usually dont show for another month to a month and half. wear loose clothes embrace the belly LOL
Chances are the ultrasound was correct there doign em sooner i think for that reason highly unlikely theres two.

I have an obvious baby bump too. I am 14 weeks everyones uterous stretches differently. You might be having twins but ultrasounds are pretty accurate! Congrats

looks widely used to me, in basic terms looks your toddler is gonna be little! And plus the "weeks pregnant" area continuously differences by using being pregnant generally, as you could degree distinctive once you bypass to the physician next for an ultrasound.
