Hiya everyone!

I have my first scan in a week so I should really try to be patient - but I can't

I was on clomid for 7 months and both me and my partner have twins in our family and I have gone quite big quite quickly for my height and weight. I haven't had any worse symptoms than anyone else, but my bump is a funny shape and I can't help but wonder if there is more than one in there. I am really hoping there is as it would be a dream come true for me, but obviously if there isn't I will be happy, because even one is a blessing.

I was just wondering if there are any tips you lovely ladies can give me on how to tell... how you knew if you did before your scan or if any of you looked and felt like you were just having one and were actually having twins?

Thank you. xxx

I think I just knew - It wasn't a shock at all when they told me I was having twins! I was really really sick though and got a BIG bump very quickly!!! Sorry I'm not more use!!!!

Thank you. It is a great help, anything is a great help.

I think I am just wishful thinking, this week is going to drag.

I had no idea at all although my first scan was at 7 weeks so we found out pretty early on.

Good luck with your scan. I hope all goes well however many LOs there are in there. Let us know how it goes.

They do say that women with multiple pregnancies have more acute symptoms (such as lots of sickness, dizziness etc...) due to the high levels of HCG produced in multiple pregnancies....but like Helen says, some women have no idea at all!

Keep us posted &

my little sisters are now 20 years old, keep in mind that the technology is different now...

my mom had no clue there was two of them until she was almost 6 months along...every scan she had they were right next to each other and their heart beats were the same and when one moved, the other moved at the same time in the same way. she looked like she was having 1 child until the 6th month when the doc was like "uh you are huge...lets try something new" and he pressed on one side while doing the scan on the other side. the side that he pressed is where the baby would kick back, but there was no movement on the other side, so they figured out there were two in there. so instead of getting "just one more" for a total of 3 kids, they got 2 more for a total of 4 kids!

I am the same, I have this overwhelming feeling there is more than one in there, I don't know why I just do, but then it's probably just wishful thinking on my part lol
