I kinda knew from the start, even before..I had had an early loss right before, and my friends and I had joked that the next time I would have twins..Sure enough..My biggest thing was the morning sickness..My boobs have not gotten sore for some time, not since baby #2, so I just dont have that..That's pretty much it..

My betas came back normal (for a singleton), I had no morning sickness (the entire pregnancy) or growth of belly/boobs and it turns out that I was (still am) pregnant with TRIPLETS! Note that this is my first pregnancy so that definitely plays a part.

Is your partners mom a fraternal or identical twin? Fraternal's are hereditary and are passed from mother to daughter (as it's the woman's ability to ovulate 2 eggs and no man can make her do that, smile). They do believe that Dad's may also play a role in fraternal twins as lots of woman ovulate 2 eggs (and don't know it), however, 2 sperm don't always make it. Regardless, your partners mother wouldn't have passed any super sperm abilities on to her son...

They don't know what causes identicals, however, it is more common with women over 35. I'm having identical boys (and a fraternal girl) and I am 37. So statistically, you DO have a higher chance of having ID's.

Good Luck, if twins is what you want!

I had IVF and was quoted a 25% chance of twins. I sorta just knew. My betas were a bit high. I wasn't all that sick though. But, I just knew that there were 2. Scan at 7 weeks proved me right.

thanks for your replies ladies.Normaly my intuition is right thats the worring thing,im very intune with my feelings and body.Morning sickness comes and goes in waves and when it does its awful,but i know thats a common symptom in pregnancy.The scary thing is my sister conceieved twins or very similar,it turned out to be a blighted ovum but there were 2 sacs,dont know where that come from.Iv also got 4 boys and had grt pregnancys,ithen got pregnant with my daughter and didnt know untill about 8 weeks into the pregnancy,as my periods were very light and i was horse riding most days and put the pelvic cramps down to riding and my muscles gettn harder.anyway my uterus measured high for my dates at my 1st midwife appoint ment and was sent for an early scan to rule out twins.There was only 1.I suspected a girl from the time i got pregnant and she was,as i found out at the 20 week scan.B4 i caught pregnant with this one i just knew i was going to get pregnant the following month i know its weird but im sure i felt my body preparing for it.i came on in oct for 2 days and i assumed my feeling were were wrong and wasnt pregnant,nov i missed and it was positive 2 days later.Oh im sorry im going on.Guess no way to tell untill a scan.But the prospect of twins scares me,im 35 with 5 kids already and my bf is 45 so were not as young as we once were.
anyway il be sure to let you no the outcome.

I knew when I got my progesterone results back at 3wks2dys and they were 57!! When I was at my first U/S at 6 1/2 wks, and the tech was really quiet...I finally said...are there two in there? She said...sheeewwww...I was trying to figure out how to tell you!!!

Its amazing how some mums just knew.Would have been perfect as my 1st oir 2nd pregnancy but 6TH OMG.It could just be im having more symptoms as im older now and takes it out of you more..we will see.

I knew and had no signs my hormone levels were actually low ........ I just kept askin the doctor if I could have an early scan cause I thought it was twins she said no she only herd one heartbeat so the day before my scan me and mom were making breakfast and she cracked an egg open and it was a double so she said britt this is a sign i said that was a fluke so she said ok one more egg if its another double then your having twins so sure enough it was a double we cracked all 12 eggs all doubles I have not seen a double egg again yet......6 week old twin girls

My sign was similar. I was driving on the freeway to go see my mom when all of a sudden there were 2 end to end rainbows. I have never seen 2 end to end. It appears if I drove miles and miles I would drive right underneath it. I burst into tears...called my husband immediately and asked him how many we were having. He said 2. I told him he's right, I got my sign.

wow interesting stories i believe in signs too and i must say ive never seen a double egg ever so i would say thats a very good sign x
