I'm going to be a twin mummy!
Hello all,
I had an early scan yesterday and found out I am having twins. My official EDD is 29th September, but more likely to make it to a maximum of 37 weeks so more likely to be toward the start of September.
I've seen a few threads by ladies thinking they could be having twins - all I can say is my sickness is horrific, my boobs are excrutiating and I could sleep 24/7, this is not to say I would feel any differently if there was just one bean.
Anyway looking forward to getting to know you all - there are a few of my KWA girls in here - so hi ladies!!

Its hard work but I wouldnt have it any other way. Do you know if they are ID yet or is it too early to tell xxx
They are non-identical - both have seperate sacs - so it could be one of each - were yours identical?
Thanks for the positive post, I'm so nervous about the next six weeks - just wish I could hide in a bubble until my 12 week scan.
Can I ask when you delivered - yesterday I was told twins rarely get past the 37 week mark?

Am sure it must feel a bit daunting but what WONDERFUL WONDERFUL news.
Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish, hope it picks up soon, am only carrying one bean but since about 10 weeks I've felt an awful lot better, xxx

I delivered at 38+1, I was induced at 38+0 and they arrived the following day. No idea how long they would have stayed there if the hospital hadn't evicted them!
I think it depends on your consultant as to when you deliver if you don't go naturally. When I was 1st told it was twins, the sonographer said it would be 36 weeks, but conultant said no 38. I've heard of other twin mummies going overdue!!!
It is pretty daunting. It took a good few weeks for the excitement to over ride the fear!
Just be prepared for the attention and repetitive questions both while pregnant and once they are born! People stop me in the supermarket, some nosey people even ask their names and birth weights!! :roll:
I'm a twin and having twins is one of my biggest fears! We have an early scan on Thurs and once I know there's a hb I will then be obsessively asking them to triple check there's just one.
I've seen a t-shirt that just says 'yes its twins' so think i'll get that and wear it out for the last couple of months.

Good luck with everything xx
Yes they are twins
No they're not identical
No it wasn't IVF
Yes it was a surprise
Yes there are twins in the family
They are 'x' weeks old
Now go away and let me get on
Hope you start to feel better soon!

Happy and healthy (close to as possible) 9 months to you!!!xxx
