Newbie here and think we are having Twins. Advice please?
I am 16 weeks and really suspect that we are expecting Twins. Just wanted to ask you lovely ladies how did you find out for sure and what symptoms did you have

We were told we were expecting twins at an emergancy scan at 11 weeks and then again at our 12 week scan 10 days later,
In hindsight i guess i'd started showing a lot earlier than my previous pg (8 weekish) and my sickness started earlier than in my previous PG's too.
Its quite possible for the baby to move sides so that you would pick it up on both sides but if your getting them on different sides at the sameish time and you can tell a difference between them and ur own then u might be expecting twins.
Did ur MW not say whether she could refer u??

At a guess i'd say the 2 heart beats could be the placenta and heartbeat, i could be wrong but i think its doubtfull you're carrying twins.
Sorry hun.
Enjoy ur PG.

Is this your first pregnancy? Im carrying twins and this is my first pregnancy. We found out it was twins at my 10 week private scan. It was pretty obvious as we saw 2 heads straight away. I didnt show until I was about 18 weeks, although my tummy was a bit rounded before then. I would be surprised if they hadnt picked up twins at your 12 week scan athough im not saying this wouldnt happen as I dont know. My midwife picked up the possibility of twins at 8 weeks (although we laughed at the time!)
I was sick as a dog for about 10 or so weeks but some people dont have any symptoms, or their symptoms are no different.
Also, as lilac says, they may have missed twins if they are in the same sac but I doubt very much this would happen as this is considered a very high risk pregnancy and they would have you under consultant care straight away and scanned at least every 2 weeks.
Let us know either way!!
