Thinking twins??

[sunshinelds]

I'm 6 weeks 5 days, and since I conceived I've been obsessing over the possibility of twins. My first pregnancy symptom was round ligament pain just days past ovulation that still continues. This is my 6th pregnancy. (1 mc, 4 live). I usually get severe morning sickness and lose 10 lbs and lasts about 20 weeks. Morning sickness ALWAYS starts at 7 weeks (even my miscarraige for my previous five)... and I mean, just "starts" like something smells bad, and the next day something else smells bad, and the next day I can't eat a certain thing and it slowly evolves into not being able to eat a thing and I can't get out of bed due to the horrendous car-sickness feeling by 9 weeks.
So this time, it started with no warning, no smells- just suddenly around lunch-time felt like I couldn't eat ANYTHING, and needed to just throw-up. Then the next day, nausea all day, and the next. Now I'm feeling that all-over weak, and dizzy feeling the last two days, although I'm still finding stuff to eat, with quality protein. Truly, I'm just bitter that I have to do two extra weeks of this, although I anticipated being sick from my history...just thought I'd had my little break before the storm.
I am thirsty beyond compare and I'm losing my milk (still was nursing 12 month old).
I'm not any more tired than previous pregnancies, or "bigger" (but I also know how to palpate my uterus for size..it's still nice and hidden.)
I do have a bad skin breakout since being pregnant (4 spots)- but don't recall previous pregnancies to compare.
Although, I know my symptoms are within the realm of normal (however, the MS NOT normal for me), I really just wanted to put this out there and update it either way- as well as any other symptoms and see if it turns out to be twins or not.

Sorry I forgot to include that the MS started at 5 weeks 2 days.

So if there's anyone else out there thinking of the possiblity of twins- join up and we'll all go along for the ride..

Me and my doctors believe sadly this pregnancy started out as twins....

I got pregnant straight after a blighted ovum which was diagnosed at 12 weeks...

I got a pregnant 1-2 on a Clearblue digital at 7DPO, my HCG was 57 on the 13th of June, come the 18th of June it doubled 8 times as much and was 486!

But on the 13th I started bleeding and it went bright red, on the 14th I passed a large sized clot, which to me and a few people looked like a sac etc. My bleeding continued for 5 days...

The 20th my HCG was 624, and the 22nd it was 1054...

I had a scan on the 25th and I'm still pregnant with one, but my uterus is full with blood.


Also at the beginning my symptoms were overpowering! And when I bled there have lessened quite a lot.

Isn't it fun to think about? My husband hasn't given me a clear answer. He's always predicted the sex and time of arrival (to within 24 hours) correctly with each one.. and he won't tell me what he thinks yet. He seems confused. I think we're having a girl. But he's not sure what's in there yet.

HOW SAD! I'm glad the one is still okay, though. I hope you're doing okay?

With my symptoms, I think I am. My mom was pregnant with twins before me but lost them at 21 weeks due to many complications. I had a vanishing twin and I was born at 29 weeks. I shall see what is what on the 10th of July.
Seems like an exciting adventure though. Actually going through a twin pregnancy with someone or more than someone.

Yeh I'm doing ok... I'm getting another scan in 2 weeks time, due to the blood, as I've been told I will bleed (although I haven't had any bleeding for quite some time now) and if I do start bleeding I may miscarry.

I'm just taking it day by day, there really isn't anything else I can do x

It's true, you can only take a day at a time and there's not anything anyone can do... I'll be thinking of you and hope it all works out well.

I have recently gotten a bad upper respiratory infection and it has gotten progressively worse the past 7 hours.

Besides that, I had extreme nausea and vomiting since 11dpo. I have had so much break outs that I can't control. I had some pretty bad bloating but that has disappeared. Not to mention the growth of my hair is pretty insane too.

 

[sunshinelds]

I've had a bad cold for the last 5 days myself- but a blessing in disguise as I can't smell much!

 

[henrysmumkaz]

Twin mummy here.

I had no sickness or breakouts. I was more nauseated than I was with my first pregnancy (a boy) so I kinda had the feeling it was a girl. Turns out, it was two girls

Congratulations on your pregnancy x

Im some what worried about this. My first I just had sore boobs at 8weeks and a bit of nausea around 10 weeks. Im 4 weeks and I puking and can't even move.

 

[Skittleblue]

This is my 1st pregnancy and it started out as twins, but we lost one at 8 weeks. My symptoms didn't start that early. It was right around 6 weeks, but once the ms started, holy cow! It was really bad for about 2 weeks, but once I lost the one, my ms dropped to nearly nothing. So I definitely know it was worse because there were 2. My doctor had warned me that with 2, I should expect it to be worse, but it still surprised me how much stronger the symptoms had been.

SO Sorry for your loss of one of your twins.

 

[Skittleblue]

Thanks. It was sad news, and very hard the first couple of days, but we're both honestly at peace with it now. I'm very grateful for the time we did have with both babies here.

Wow... 6 would be a lot... But then again, I have several friends who are from families with 7 or 8 kids. It can be done, and done well... I just really admire the families that are able to do it!

 

[sunshinelds]

I'm going to add this fun tidbit for the heck of it. The first day I had MS, I saw THREE sets of twins at a SMALL park within an hour. Craziness...

On the weirder side, my MS has almost been non-existent today. TOTALLY MANAGABLE! Can't eat EVERYTHING... but I'm totally eating and not suffereing meanwhile.. Don't know what's up with that... but first day in two weeks. I'll take it. (I even went grocery shopping! I've hitherto completeyl refused to do it because the sight of food, even pictures, makes me gag.)
