My Gp's therory on twins

(46 Posts)

second pregnancy here..

Just seen the Dr and questioned him about my chances of it being twins.
My mum is a non identical twin. Im currently 8 weeks and im massive! Everyone knows /guessed and is amazed at my size and have commented on twins.

Anyway Dr's theory was that Multiple mums are usually pretty bad with sickness and breast tenderness as they have double the hormones.

Just wondered if your experience backs up his theory or not?

I'm glad it all went well smile

At least you know now and you can stop wondering. Enjoy preparing for your new baby smile

lol- was so looking forward to you saying it was Quads!! grin

I was convinced my 3rd pg was twins due to how tired I felt but it was all down to being pg and having a 1 and a 2 yr old as well- I was a wee bit disappointed grin

Congrats on your healthy little baby though!

Im now 10 weeks and just got my scan date of 3rd Nov so should find out soon enough.

I have been feeling pretty sick compared to nothing last time and have extremely tender boobs/nipples.

Thanks for all your replys. Roll on the third grin

Blimey! That's a bump and a half for just seven weeks of pregnancy!

Hope you will come back and let us know just how many you've actually got in there grin

Was really sick with my twin pregnancy more so than with my singletons the showing early thing could also be due to your hormones i show straight away with all my pregnancy's & the doc said it was most likely due to already having kids & the hormones

I had terrible morning sickness, but I also didn't show until 16 weeks, had no history of twins, am under 35, was my first pregnancy - i.e. no reason to think it was twins at all. Everyone's different I think
