You can only know through an ultrasound scan, dear. Symptoms can be similar, so wait for your first dating scan around 7-8 weeks.

I had severe bloating and felt very heavy early on, but it was just one baby. Only my 8-week doctor scan showed the actual truth.

I totally understand the excitement of wishing for twins! But only the doctor's ultrasound can show you those tiny heartbeats clearly.

Honestly, my nausea was extreme but it was still a single baby! You can't guess by symptoms, only an early ultrasound scan can confirm twins.

I panicked because my belly looked big early on and thought it's twins! But it was just bloating, my doctor laughed and confirmed single baby on the scan.

I felt so anxious before my first scan. That's when the doctor showed me the single tiny fluttering heart on the screen, only scans can tell you.
