It's really rude for strangers to assume that it is twins. I myself have a twin sister, and my husband had a twin brother before his twin brother died in April. So, even though I know first-hand how much of a blessing being a twin can be, I was also terrified at the thought of possibly being pregnant with twins this pregnancy.
Since you have been pregnant with twins before, I think you have definitely trust your body's own intuition about this pregnancy.
How soon will you have a scan?
I am also showing much earlier this pregnancy as well. Quite a few people have assumed I am further along than I am. That's always rough to hear too. My abdomen is damaged from my previous pregnancies, so I just look further along sooner. It does wound my pride a bit when people ask me how far along I am. Maybe you feel the same way?
I've opted to only have a scan at 34 weeks to check the placenta for previa/accreta guess I have any concerns that crop up beforehand that I want to get checked out.
I have DR as well so I popped sooner than I normally would (though I've looked pregnant for years tbh due to it), but I don't feel like I'm abnormally huge for 17/18 weeks - but also the comments have all been from people who don't even know how far along I am/when I'm due
I assumed it was because I had recently gone all the way to 12 weeks with the mmc. The baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks but the placenta had carried on growing because tmi passing that was gross. I didn’t expect it to be as big as it was. I did worry if it meant a bigger baby but I ended up being pushed back a couple of days at my 12 week scan. I do feel huge already this time but I guess it’s to be expected being my 7th pregnancy
my uterus is up at my belly button already lol not really a surprise being baby #4.
so pleased all went well and he was nice and active
