Could I be pregnant with twins?

MommaToBe2

I went for my first ultrasound at 6 weeks & they found two sacs, but I have went back for about 3 ultrasounds and all they see is one baby. I went to the ER Sunday and they picked up two different heartbeats, but the nurse couldn't give me a ultrasound and check because the doctor wasn't there. I haven't had a ultrasound since I was almost 18 weeks and I have felt my baby move in so many different angles at the same time & I have already gained about 35-40 pounds, Are they a possibilty that I could be pregnant with twins?
My next ultrasound is march 19th. Which is in 2 weeks.

Answer
well i would yes there is a very strong possibility for twins!!!
I am 7 weeks right now with twins and have already gained 5 pounds :(
I have had 2 ultrasounds first showed two sacs one very very small compared to the other, it was hard to see, then second ultrasound on tue showed again one big sac with baby and heartbeat and a very very small one underneath with a baby and heartbeat. I just think one is behind the other and that is why it is hard to see on ultrasound, especially since I did see the baby and a heartbeat with the second just not much fluid and a very tiny sac but again I just think it is being hidden in there.

When is your next ultrasound?
Hopefully one has moved into a better position to see both, but I really think you have twins! Congrats! Im still in the freaked out stage and so much shock!!! I am going from 1 3yr old kid to 3 ahhhhhh. Im not due though until Oct so I have some time to come to terms with the idea!

Pregnant With Twins?

From experience, did any of you that had twins, know you were pregnant with them before you had a sonogram? If so, how were your symptoms? I know I've heard the symptoms from a single pregnancy are a little different than that of a twin pregnancy. Like more nausea with twins & everything. And is it possible to get pregnant with twins without having twins run in the family or anything?

Answer
ive just found out im pregnant with twins due to an early ultrasound. For some unkown reason i kept dreaming i was having twins, My hormone levels were really high, My stomach is extremely swollen and ive been eating a lot more i havent had any sickness atall so you cant really go by that on my son i was sick morning noon and nite. twins are not always heridatory identical twins do not run in the family im having twins that share the same sac these are always the same sex. Twins that run in the family are fraternal twins which have separate sacs these can be boy/girl or same sex

How many people get pregnant with twins shortly after going off the pill?

I'm curious how many people got pregnant with twins or multiples the first month or so off the pill. I heard from my doctor that your chances of having twins or multiples (fraternal) increase when first going off the pill because you have a higher chance of releasing more than one egg. I wasn't sure if anyone knew the statistics, or anyone had this experience.

Answer
I actually got pregnant with twins while ON the pill....i just wasnt taking it right. Best thing I ever did, cause now I have 2 beatiful girls!

My doctor said that with me not taking it right, when it come time to ovulate, my system becoame "confused' and sometimes released more eggs than usual, and sometimes not enough. Well, just so happened it released extra that month!

When did you start to show when you were pregnant with twins?

I am 9 weeks pregnant with twins and this is my first pregnancy. I have no idea what to expect! I am a little nervous because I am fairly small (5'5" 115lbs). How big did you get?
I am excited but scared, and just curious to hear from others who've been through it.

Answer
I am 5'5" and was around 120 lbs when I got pregnant with my twins. They were a second pregnancy for me, so I definitely started showing earlier than with my singleton....I think I had a pretty good bump by around 12 weeks and ended up gaining a whopping 70 lbs or so in the end!!

I have a fun Twin Belly Gallery you can browse through to get a better idea of how big you might get at: http://www.twin-pregnancy-and-beyond.com/twin-belly-photos.html

Best of luck!

Is it possible to maintain at 1200 calorie diet when your pregnant with twins?

A friend of mine is pregnant with twins, and all she eats is 1200 calories a day. She is overweight to begin with. Plus she has allergens/intolerances to alot of foods I do have to say that she eats extremely well, and is very self-concious of what goes in her mouth. . How do I tell my friends she needs to increase her caloric intake without being insulting. She's afraid to gain any weight. What do I do?

Answer
I know how she feels. I was on a 1,200 calorie diet when I found out I was pregnant. Show her that it is very unhealthy for her babies to go with that much because as it is, it was starving her body so that she would lose weight - have her imagine what that would do to two unborn babies. She needs to eat just 600 calories more, and it's completely possible to eat healthy 600 calories. I honestly think you would have more of an impact than a doctor, because doctors only see you once in a while, where you probably see her all the time.

Tell her the weight gain is temporary and she will lose it when the babies are born. The average weight gain just from the baby, placenta, amniotic fluid etc is 30lbs, once the baby is born all of that goes away.

How long can you go without eating when pregnant with twins?

Just out of curiosity, I am pregnant with twins, 20 weeks along. I am eating and this does not pertain to me I was just actually very curious how many days or so someone carrying twins could go without much food or water.

Answer
a few hours probably. any more than that is probably unhealthy.
