Twins run in my family and honestly im super curious if i could be carrying two. Im just 7 weeks. Are there any early signs people notice or do u only find out on scan?
Your doctor will check for twins during your first routine scan. Make sure you also get your thyroid and other blood tests done regularly as advised by your doctor.
I have heard that sometimes severe morning sickness can mean twins! It's so exciting to think about, hopefully your doctor scan will give you the happy news soon.
My mother-in-law said that a fast-growing tummy means twins, but we cannot rely on that. It is always best to wait for your doctor to confirm it during your first ultrasound scan.
My friend who had twins was diagnosed during her 8th-week scan. She had a planned C-section later and both babies are doing great, so just wait for your doctor's ultrasound report.
Don't worry, the only sure way to know if you are carrying twins is through an ultrasound scan. Sometimes extreme nausea can be a hint, but wait for your scan and take care of yourself.
I know how exciting and anxious this time can feel. Please wait for your first ultrasound scan gently, as that is the only safe and sure way to know if there are two heartbeats.
Some say having extreme cravings or severe morning sickness early on can mean twins! But honestly, only a proper doctor's scan will tell you if you are eating for two or three!
Actually, while high HCG levels or severe morning sickness can hint at twins, my doctor said that only a first-trimester dating scan around 7-8 weeks can confirm it accurately.
Yes, you can only confirm twins via an ultrasound scan. When I went for my scan at Fortis, they clearly showed the gestational sacs on the screen, so do ask your radiologist during the scan.
