Thinking twins??

[sunshinelds]

Well, the nausea has still abated. I mostly nauseas right before bed... but otherwise decent. SO WIERD?!?? FIrst time in six pregnancies this has happened. First it starting two week early at 5 weeks, and then at 7 weeks almost disappears? I've never even had it this mild anyway- in any pregnancy. Let me also mention, the night before the first good day, I started taking extra iron. That may have everything to do with it. But be careful, it has to be the right iron. This was researched by my midwives, and it's an iron supplement that will not irritate your stomache or make you ill nor constipated. It's a very natural gentle form that is easily assimulated into your body. NOT ALL IRON SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE SAME. They are from different sources and different kinds of iron- some ofthem your body cannot even use, but are labeled as supplemental iron. I use "Hematinic Formula" by Solgar. (And don't take it within 2 hours of any dairy, also you CAN overdose on iron, ask your provider a safe dose).Although never has my blood come back anemic- I obviously needed more iron because since I started taking this, I've had nearly ZERO morning sickness- and i get it BAD. Hopefully it's not just a coincidence as miscarriage has passed my mind.... but hey I'm not puking my guts out

I have my first prenatal appt. today..7 weeks 4 days.

soooooo....what happened?!!!

Still here, I still have mild nausea- worse at night. But I'm not skipping meals, just little bites here and there. I've lost 8 lbs. already. I'm 8 weeks today. So that's weird. In my other pregnancies, I lost up to 10 lbs, but I was also starving myself... so this is kind of weird that I"m eating, but still losing weight. I'm done to nursing once a day- my LO wasn't ready to give it up, which is sad.

 

[cluckerduckie]

How did your appointment go? I try eating... all it does is come back up.

Sorry, my appt was good, nothing abnormal. I'm debating whether or not to get an early ultrasound. We didn't get a heartbeat, but that's not unusual for being so early.

I am thinking I *may* have twins. I have some of the darkest pregnancy tests I can find for how far along I am at each DPO (and this is going by the earliest day I could have ovulated, too, since I charted most of the month). I took soy isoflavones, which raises the chances...and twins run in my family like crazy. I think there are 11/12/13 sets of twins from my great-great-grandma/her siblings til everyone born now that we KNOW of!! My distant cousin is pregnant with twins and another cousin had twins a couple of years ago. My great-aunts were twins and there are many more distant cousins/etc. and some we don't keep in touch with because they live far off and their offspring...jeez. EVERYONE keeps joking to me about it, and I have 2 places I keep feeling cramps but it could be round ligament pain.

Not to mention, I had a dream 2 nights ago that I went in for my first scan and there were 2 little yolk sacs!!!

I also forgot to mention - I also had a vanishing twin. The ultrasound tech and my mom's obgyn told her there were 2 in there and then later there was just me.

hey sweetmere im thinking twins may be a possiblity with me!! my FRERS grew CRAZY dark in the matter of days my morning sickness is CRAZY i have 2 children and it never started this early!! my grandmother is a twin(fraternal) and my cousin just had twin girls(fraternal!!) fx'd i would LOVE twins

 

[sweetmere]

I don't have morning sickness yet. I have to watch how much I eat because even getting a little full, I feel sick. But I don't really feel sick on an empty stomach yet. I've noticed I'm more sensitive to smells though, and I gag at things easily!

I wondered (not sure if it was someone's post here that started me wondering) just because I feel like my symptoms are far more intense then they should be at this stage (although this is my 2nd pregnancy and my 1st ended even before I got this far so how should I know, right!?!)

I also had a dream the other night, twins, one boy and one girl.

Time will tell.

I was worried about this. I don't mean to seem ungrateful as I know a baby is a blessing and two is a double blessing but this pregnancy was unplanned and we have three young ones already and my oldest is three. Twins would seem overwhelming to say the least. I began being worried as nausea started bad in week 4-5. I have never had it before week 8. Tiredness has been extreme but maybe this has something to do with the other three children in my life. My biggest concern was the nausea was worse than ever before and earlier than before but I also think I have felt movements on many occasions. I am telling myself it MUST be gas this early on but it seems very babylike to me. I am nearly 12 weeks and never felt a baby move before 21-22 weeks in the past. I have always had anterior placentas before which may account for some of it if this placenta is posterior but I haven't had a scan yet and 9 weeks feeling movement seems out there for twins even. Hmmmm.

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.

I had very similar to your story... miscarriage, but was still pregnant a week later and i certainly hadnt let my hubby near me in that time!! Son was born 2 months early and i continued to deliver 2 placentas!! - They could never say if my son was a twin but in my opinion he obviously was x

 

[sunshinelds]

Oh, I'm so excited about new joiners to the thread! PLease keep us updated as to whether anyone actually ends up with twins or not!

 

[Newt4]

I don't think Im in for twins. MS seemed to as ease off. Hey you never know right lol.

 

[BeccaxBump]

My uncle has said nothing but "There is two in there!". I'm not convinced, although me and my fiancé have twins run in our families.

 

[nov_mum]

We have a singleton! Great news for us. Wishing guys all the best for your scans and hope you get the outcome you want : )

 

[sunshinelds]

Just updating my symptoms... Still up and down nausea and feel super weak. New stuff is difficulty sleeping, although very tired but just can't get comfy and if I wake up I have a hard time geting back to sleep and the other things is I can feel the top of my fundus three finger-widths above my pubic bone. I am 9 weeks 4 days. I even had dh (who is going to medical school to be a doc) check it to make sure. He even did a bi-manual to make sure we weren't feeling an intestine or something.( yes, I have the coolest husband lol) I think I may try to get in this week for an ultrasound. I'm kinda driving myself batty.

I am also still thinking twins for me I am 8+6 today! Still VERY sick/nauseous, can't find anything I want to drink or eat (though i force it in if I can), very tired, half the time can't get out of bed! I've put on 5lb's even though I haven't been eating!! I'm excited to know, find out 10th august. Have been feeling for my uterus coming up but not entirely sure what I'm looking for! xx
