Signs You’re Pregnant with Twins
Do you have an inkling that you may be pregnant with twins? Being pregnant is great, but being pregnant with twins is twice the fun. If you’re wondering if you are pregnant with twins, here are some signs that you may be right!
Gaining Weight Faster
No one likes to gain weight, even while pregnant, but for the sake of twins it is worth it. Obviously pregnant women gain weight with a singular pregnancy, so if you’re gaining weight faster than normal, you might just be pregnant with twins.
More Morning Sickness
It’s said that when a woman is pregnant with twins, she may experience heavier morning sickness than usual. Perhaps because there are two babies in the womb, the body experiences twice as many symptoms. There are no studies to prove this, but many pregnant women have complained of this issue.
You May Feel Extra Tired
Just like some twin mothers to be experience faster weight gain and more morning sickness, they might also experience being extra tired. Your body is growing two small humans, which means your energy will be zapped more quickly than usual. In just a few short months, you will get your energy back, it’s just a matter of making it until then.
Movement Early On
Another sign you may be pregnant with twins is experiencing movement in the womb earlier than normal. Because you have two babies in there, you may experience movement earlier than you did with any other pregnancy you have had in the past.
Twin Intuition
If you cannot shake the feeling that there is more than one baby in your womb, you may be pregnant with twins. They say a mother has an intuition about things in life and this may be true for you. You can always get yourself checked out if you have a sneaking suspicion that there is more than one baby in your tummy.
Confirmed Ultrasound
You may not have any idea at all that you’re pregnant with twins. In fact, the day of your first ultrasound, you may be struck with surprise. An ultrasound is a confirmed way you can find out if you’re having twins, even early on. It’s amazing what technology can find these days. Some women do not find out they’re having twins until later in their pregnancy, so finding out early is an extra special treat.
Having twins is an amazing feeling, from the moment you find out your life will be changed forever. If you are experiencing any of these signs, you may be pregnant with twins. Remember, if you have any questions, always ask your doctor or midwife.
I’ve given birth to four children and never wondered if we were having twins before getting the ultrasound. It does make sense that these would be visible signs.
These are all great ways. I think intuition is a really strong thing during pregnancy. I knew I was having a boy simply because of that. I wasn’t surprised when the ultrasound confirmed it at all.
Hearing two heart beats and feeling two heads would be the giveaway for me!
Twins! What a blessing– congratulations!! I’ve heard from other twin Mamas they have been extra tired and sick. Double the fun, double the trouble– but such a blessing!
Years ago I’d be so excited for twins now not so much. When I went for my ultrasound I was terrified they’d say twins because I’ve gained a ton of weight and I’m so beyond sick. But luckily only one in there! Twins are so amazing though, what an amazing blessing!
I think having twins would be a twice the blessing!!
The mother of one of my students is having twins. As a matter of fact, she is due in a couple of weeks.
no thanks… having one almost drove me insane. iuno what i’d do with another. or two extra if we tried again. imagine if they were girls?! *dies of horror*
