My mom seems to think I could be having twins. I am 5' 3" and was 120 pre pregnancy and have gained five pounds my first month and my chest and belly are growing so fast. I have four set of twins on my side of the gene pool while my husband has one set (although I read his side can't raise my chances of having twins). I have an ultrasound scheduled for Tuesday and I am 11 weeks. I read you find out after 6-8 weeks. I also read your chances go up when you have your first period after getting off of birth control which is our case. I had my BC (IUD) removed July 3rd and had my period July 5th and found I was pregnant Aug 3rd. When did you find out you were pregnant with twins? How many weeks? Any hints? I have a four year old daughter already. Thanks :-)

Actually it's seven sets of twins on my side. My cousin is having twins in January.

Personally, I don't have twins, but we had 2 sets born in our family last year. My sister in law didn't find out she was having twins until her 20 week ultrasound. My sister was going through fertility treatments when she got pregnant so she had an ultrasound very early in her pregnancy at about 10 weeks that showed twins. Some friends of ours are in the middle of their pregnancy and they found out she's pregnant with twins at about 10 weeks also.

Wow you just described me as far as birth control, dates of last period and how far along you are. I also have a ultrasound scheduled for this week but mine is for the nuchal translucency test. I had an early scan at 5w 6d and saw the sack a heart beat etc. but i have heard that you can have twins and not see both at an early scan so part of me is just wondering what the 11 week scan will show. I feel that for a first child i am a bit too round in the stomach right now especially since i have not gained any weight. Please share how you do at your ultrasound Tuesday and good luck to you.

I found out at 9 weeks that I'm having twins! Everyone kept saying it too because my belly was unusually round for someone so barely pregnant! Good Luck!
