 Topic: Twins

...I have a funny feeling I might be having twins. LOL!
It's probably just becase the idea terrifies me so I'm subconsciously allowing myself to believe I might be just so I can breathe a sigh of relief when there is just one.
Anyone else like this early on???

Yeah, when I bend down I can feel a little round lump in my tummy and I'm only 5 weeks! That didn't happen until 16 weeks with Elle. Elle was standing on my tummy yesterday and it felt like she was standing on a full bladder (i.e. a fluid filled pouch) but it was empty.

LOL Fiona you just spend too much time with me!  I love teasing people about having twins, mainly coz I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...
Mind you, you could have knocked me over with a feather when they told me I was having twins, I had no inkling, no suspicion, no nothing. No idea at all!
You never know, I guess you'll have to wait till your scan to find out

I did both times I was pregnant and it was thought that Andrew was a twin as I had some bleeding.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

A friend of mine popped out heaps earlier with her 2nd child too and only actually did the preg test after a (brave or stupid) colleague suggested she may be pregnant because of the size and shape of her belly. She was still in her 1st trimester when she found out.
Good luck for your scan tomorrow AndysMum.

I thought I might be with Kryssi as I got big heaps quicker than the other two girls. Turned out she wasn't and in fact she was born slightly smaller than Briona was. Have to wait and see

I was like that and was right!
But I had some ridiculous high chances of having twins anyway, due to family history of them

*hi, Andy's Mummy!!*
The chance of me ever having twins is low, but same for my cousin and they concieved twins. I was panicking about it right up until my 20-wk scan when I was pregnant! Mostly because a wise old man predicted I'd have twins at some point.

I had no inkling that i was having twins other than the fact that my pants "started to shrink" earlier than expected. Had very minimal morning sickness.

I had a few signs to make me think that i would be having twins, bad morning sickness, fundis (sp?) higher then should have been and being able to feel early movements.
With all that said still didn't think it was twins, just thought that with every pregnancy being different, and things having already strecthed with my first pregnancy, the thought never crosseed my mind. Maybe i was just kidding myself
Didn't find out till my 20 week scan, so have decided with our next pregnancy i will go in for a much earlier scan, i am so not waiting till 20 weeks again.

The thought of having twins didnt even cross my mind even though I was having really bad morning sickness - I just thought it was because I wasnt distracted by working. I went for an early dating scan to figure out my due dates and we got a HUGE surprise to discover two babes. Now it all makes sense about the morning sickness but thankfully it finished earlier than my first pregnancy. I am so thankful that we found out early.

I also have an inkling im baking twins... but thats based on my mil and another family friend both having dreams that I had twins.. and this is my last pregnancy.. and the needle and thread test said girl/boy without stopping so that freaked me too..
But I havent been sick at all... I was more sicker with my boys, am really really tired though and I had put on 4 kilos in 4 weeks 
Oh well will see when midwife hears the heartbeat on Tuesday or my scan on friday...

I would love twins too, but like you fiona, i am heaps bigger this time around. Would it show up at the 6week early dating scan if it was twins? or at that early stage could one be hiding? I would love them so much, but at the same time don't want them til next time around. If i had them now, i would have to stop working and with a new mortgage, who can afford that right? Stil would be a double blessing

In 1978 one of my friends from work was 32 weeks pregnant with her first baby. She'd been to see her doctor who sent her for a scan (which weren't generally used) as he thought her due dates must be wrong because she was too big.
She had the scan on the Friday afternoon and found out that she was having twins. Then on Monday she went into labour and delivered twin girls. Talk about shock of her life!!!

LOL BS - don't come visit now then, the spewing gremlins are enough to put anyone off!
Chonny - one of my gremlins was hiding at the 6w dating scan, I didn't find out there were two till 9 weeks when I had a scan for bleeding.

I found out at 8 wks preg that we had twins. Id asked the lady if it was the baby's back that I was looking at and she replied - "babies, you mean". She then told me that there was more than one and then followed on with "Im just looking to see if there is a third!" At that point I practically yelled "No" at her!
Id had dreams that I was going into labour with twins while I was preg with Levi. I presumed they were only hormonal dreams tho. Didn't even register that I could have them next time - it just wasnt even an option.
I have trouble telling if Im preg with urine tests and so have to have blood tests to confirm the pregnancy. This time they came back positive but didnt show and unusually high HCG level. Weird huh.

so i should get the sonographer to double check at the twelve week scan then huh. Thing is, twins run in teh females side, and is very common to skip a generation or two. They run in my mum's side, and have skipped a generation, i.e my sister and i should be in line for them
