Twins run in my husbands family so im super curious haha. Im 8 weeks and first scan is coming up. At which scan or week do they usually confirm if its twins?
Yaar, actually you can't rely on symptoms or old wives' tales for twins. Only an early dating ultrasound around 7-8 weeks will tell you clearly if there are two babies. Just wait for your first scan, that's the only real proof.
I felt a mix of extreme shock and pure joy during my 8th-week dating scan when the doctor pointed out two sacs on the screen! I had a feeling because my nausea was absolutely terrible from week 5, but the scan confirmed it. It's such a magical feeling.
Holding my babies now, I still remember the day we found out it was twins during our 7-week ultrasound. My heart literally skipped a beat when the doctor showed us. It is a beautiful journey, just wait for that first scan to be absolutely sure.
During my IVF journey, we had our first scan at 6 weeks and that's when we saw two tiny fluttering heartbeats. It was such a beautiful, emotional moment. Sending you so much love, hope your doctor's scan brings you wonderful news.
The only realistic way to identify twins is through an early ultrasound scan, usually around the 6th to 8th week. Don't rely on symptoms like extra morning sickness or high hCG, as they can be misleading. Book a quick scan appointment with your gynac to know for sure.
With PCOS, my hormonal levels were already fluctuating, so high hCG didn't necessarily mean twins for me. A proper ultrasound at 7 weeks is the only reliable way to confirm it. Be patient and let the doctor do the scan.
