I'm 14 weeks pregnant and am feeling that I'm having twins. My mum is a twin so is my dad. I had a scan which showed one baby and a big circle below the baby. I then googled only to find out that the circle has 2 plus one on top.

I suppose I should start off by saying I'm blessed. I found out three weeks ago I'm having twins, with no help. I went to my first U/S at ten weeks. I was expecting to see just one baby. As the midwife was taking the pictures of the the baby, she responded with "oh great day". At this point I was in a slight panic thinking something was wrong she turned the computer around to me and said "YOU'RE HAVING TWINS!". I was in complete shock and said "you're f@*!ing kidding me right?" but they were. Not just one baby, BUT TWO!!! I found out the following week for sure that they're fraternal. As the weeks go by, I'm get more excited each day. Without any added help, I'm having two babies for my first pregnancy

I was 15 weeks when we saw the uktrasound with two babies on!!!!! I had absolutely no suspicions it was twins, I didn't show until 20 weeks and the morning sickness was minimal!! It was the biggest shock of my life! Now they are 2 1/2 and I can't believe I get the honour of raising twins still! I'm 12 weeks pregnant now and off for the first scan in the morning... One or two this time?!!!!!!

I have two little girls and I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant and I am showing already. I can feel my uterus 2 inches above my pelvis which I did not feel like this until 3 or 4 months with my other 2 and I am nauseous and tired all the time. Oh and my sense of smell is crazy strong!!!

I never believed it would happen to me. I thought I was just getting extra fat and having a girl as it is such a different experience to my pregnancy with my 3 year old son. I have been sooo sick constantly and my body has changed so quickly.

I need suggestions: I knew my pregnancy sometime was no right . This is my third pregnancy with multiple twins on both sides of the family. Am 33 weeks with one baby head down and baby B Breech. Never had a c- section. Can I deliver these baby vaginally? I can't seems to convince my doctor for a vaginal birth.

I knew I was pregnant the day I missed my period. I took a test to confirm the same day. The following week I began feeling really nauseous which was much different from my first pregnancy (I have a 6 year old boy) I was as my girlfriend's house and we were messing around with the Chinese birth chart. The first one said I was having a girl. To test it's accuracy I did another. The second said I was having a boy. I did several different charts found on a google search and the outcome was 50/50. My girlfriend then said "maybe it's twins" Then my husbands mom said it and I didn't want to believe it. However, my pregnancy symptoms were getting worse and I was living in hell. I started thinking I was having twins after I googled symptoms of twins. Minus being older I fell into all the categories and from then on I knew. When I went for the ultrasound at 8 weeks, the tech only found one. As she was ready to wrap things up I asked her to double check and boom! I was right! Can't wait! Xoxoxo

I am eight weeks pregnant. I havn't had a u/s yet, but I can't shake the feeling that it's twins. I am soo tired and I feel huge. I'm twenty and there are four sets of fraternal twins on my mother's side. Am I crazy to suspect?
—Guest BryttMomOfThrerOr four

I am suppose to be 28 weeks sat. Ever since I got pregnant my measurements have been different. For the past two months I have been measuring two weeks or more... I'm huge to be 6 months. I have been feeling movement everywhere and mostly all the time. I get big kicks and my belly shakes when the baby moves. I found out I'm having a girl.

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant I went for my first ultrasound at nine weeks and found out it was twins I went into preterm labour twice and finally they came at 32 weeks gestation they were happy and healthy as they had to stay in hospital until they reached a certain weight.. now they are happy 3 year olds and I would not change a thing..

I have a boy (11) and a girl (6). I took pg test at week 8. I felt more sick and tired than the first two pregnancies. In addition, I felt so full even after a small meal. I went for U/S and ... found out there are 2. Don't know the gender yet. But I feel very okay now despite the tiredness. I'm told it's typical of a multiple pregnancy. I had an identical twin who died when we were young and there are fraternal twin boys on my hubby's side. We are so overjoyed, we can't wait to hold them!!

Well I am 11 weeks pregnant, this is my 3rd I had to live births and 2 miscarriages before this one. Like many others' experiences, I am already feeling movements at 10 weeks, and my stomach is really quite large for only 11 weeks. My mother is also a fraternal twin, so I am wondering if this is it. I am 36 and my BMI is over 30 also. So I have a very strong feeling that there are 2 in there. I don't have an u/s till 19 weeks gestation so this waiting game is going to kill me!! But my doc won't do it sooner, soooo, wish me luck!!! :)
