From the article: Am I having twins? - Signs & Symptoms of a Twin Pregnancy
So your belly is starting to show really quickly. Maybe your pregnancy symptoms are a bit extreme or you feel like you have morning sickness for two. What made you think you were having twins? Sometimes it's physical evidence like two heart beats or an ultrasound. Other times it's mother's intuition or a family history of twins. Did you think you were having twins? Why? And were you right?

- Found out I am carrying twins when I was 22 weeks pregnant, after the nightmare of nausea and sleepless nights, can't wait!

Mothers intuition
- We have a 22 month old son and decided to have another baby. As soon as I got a positive pregnancy test I said to my partner "what if its twins?" Only said it as a joke because we only planned on having two kids, but in the next couple of weeks I just had a feeling I was having twins. 3 members of my family actually thought I would have twins as well (there is no history of twins in our family either) sure enough I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and I'm having twins!! I have a feeling there is two girls, but will wait and see!!

Surprised to be having twins!
- I was planning on doing having an all natural birthing process with our third. At our 16 week check up the midwife said I was already measuring 20 weeks. The thought of twins never really crossed our minds as it didn't run in either of our families... not twins at all! We did an ultra sound and there they were, two beautiful little girls! I am set to deliver in three days at 37w6d... so blessed that we made it this far and they have been very healthy. I took the quiz and it said my chances were 27%- slim, haha :-)

Twins?
- I knew I was pregnant right away the symptoms were full force. I had an underlying suspicion that I could be expecting twins. I had my first u/s at 8 weeks and found out I am indeed carrying twins!! ;)

I just knew it...
- From the moment I got pregnant, I knew it was twins... I had such a strong feeling. Although this is my first pregnancy, twins run heavily on both sides of my family and I was on clomid for 3 cycles. When I had my 8 week check up with my OB/GYN, I told her about my symptoms (extreme nausea, headaches, very tired, moody) and told her how strongly I felt about having twins so she ordered me an ultrasound. So, at 9w2d, I went in for an abdominal ultrasound and saw the strong heartbeats of two beautiful babies. Mothers intuition is never wrong ladies... if you feel it, it could very possibly be happening. Trust your body and your instincts. Now, my intuition has me 100% positive that i'm having a boy and a girl (i'm 10w1d now), so I guess i'll see... Good Luck to you all!

Mama knows best
- I knew I was pregnant almost immedietly. I took a test at only 3 weeks, and got a strong positive in less than a minute. Then I started getting sick all the time. I am now just 8 weeks along and I look huge. I have gained 15 pounds, and I can hardly stay awake for more than an hour. My grandmother had twins, but. There is not a real strong twin thing on my side. I just went to the docter yesterday, and they confirmed it was twins immediatley. If you think it might be twins, trust yourself.

Two birds with one stone
- I found out that I'm having twins last month and I was shocked I never thought it would happen to me especially the first pregnancy but now me and husband couldn't be more excited. I hope to have two boys. Micah and James :)

Maybe, maybe not!
- Twins run on my mother's side of the family. Both from her mom & dad. With my 3rd pregnancy i grew really quick and always sick. I would love to have boy/girl twins. So my son (3) & daughter (2) can have a playmate when older. = )

One or Two?????
- My husband and I have had a little rough patch when it comes to babies. He and I had a really bad miscarrige. I was about four months pregnant. Now I am about 14 weeks pregnant and I just went to my doctors apointment a few days ago. The nurse decided that she wanted to do a heart tones test because I had said that I felt like my belly had absolutely exploded and that twins run very strong in both sides of mine and my husbands family. Not to mention my husband is a twin. My husband and I had been joking about having twins earlier with the nurses, and when the nurses started doing the test they found one babies heartbeat which was reall strong but really far to the side so she said just for giggles she was going to check the other side and when she went all the way over to the left she picked up another heart tone. she said that it could be an echo of the other or it could be a second! My husband and I are going in in the morning for an ultrasound and we cant wait!!!!

- Took the quiz, it said I had a 'slim chance' (45% chance) of having twins. I had twins!!! So, don't trust it. :)

I didn't think I would have TWINS

Did I think I was having Twins?
- Yes I did! My stomach felt bigger and I felt movement earlier that usual, I also had a dream 4 days before my dating scan that I'd been to see a midwife and she told me she could hear 2 heartbeats, naturally I woke telling my partner, friends and family and joked about this but deep down I just knew. My Grandfather was a twin but sadly the other twin died inside the womb.
