It hadn't really occurred to me as yet - until I was showing my mum my belly yesterday and she said 'maybe it's twins'. I have fraternal twins on my mums side, my grandmother and aunt both had twin boys, so we always assumed one of the girls on that side would have twins (I thought it'd be my cousin, as she has twins on her mum and dads side) but she's not having kids.
Anyway, I was looking online, and it says the taller, and bigger you are it increases your chances too, and if you have a family history of the hyper-ovulation gene you've got about a 1 in 17 chance of fraternal twins without the being in the higher chance range already of being caucasian, tall, BMI over 30 etc, so I'm freaking out! Here is a pic of my 8 week gut that will not go down, and it's really hard up top above my belly button, which is new for me - if it keeps getting bigger quickly, I guess I'll book a scan to be sure!
Here is my stomach at 8+1 - I'm hoping it's because I had a 3cm separation of the muscles with my daughter, that I just have no abs left to hold it in nice and tight and that it's just ONE, because I don't know how I could mentally deal with two little ones!
