Is it really twins?

I was pregnant with my DD ten years ago so I often feel like I don't know what to expect with being pregnant. We found out last Wednesday that we are definitely having twins, per the ultrasound, and even though I see it, it doesn't seem real. I notice others saying that they started popping out really quick and looked pregnant, but for being 10 weeks and carrying twins I dont notice any difference. When did you really start to notice?

 

lol it doesnt seem real to me either, and mine are 6 weeks old. sometimes i stare at them while theyre sleeping and think, wow..theres really 2 and theyre really mine

hI THERE
This is my first pregnancy and I never noticed in with my belly on being pregnant till like week 15 it barley had a little bump lol . im a small built to but just tall . so I wouldnt worry hun and im 28 weeks and 3 days now and everyone that sees me is like there is no way your carrying two i was way bigger with carrying just one.. but its true im having two little boys and found out i was pregnant with twins at 5 weeks pregnant ..

 

Probably around 20 weeks. It's obvious now!

Mentally, it still hasn't sunk in that there will be two. . .

 

I am with you all on the "it doesn't seem real" bit. I'm still in shock and, just a few weeks ago, started to really warm up to the idea.
I don't think I really started to show until somewhere between 16 and 18 weeks. (I've been extra heavy for a few years now...)

 

hi terrag,

i'm 15 weeks and have just started catching sight of myself in mirrors and windows and thinking omg, i'm pregnant! up until mid last week i'd have a pretty flat stomach in the morning that would get bigger as the day went on but then it just popped, and i could really feel a definite beachball shape in there that does not come and go! i'm about 5'4, small build. congrats on your twin pregnancy, it's fun to be having two huh?

 

I found out at 17.5 weeks that it was twins. i started to "pop" at about 10-15 weeks. (i dont remember now) Honestly.. I still dont believe that i had twins.. And they are 9.5 months old!!!

 

I didn't pop out until 22 weeks. Now it's out of control. Hahahaa! Congrats x 2!

 

Hi Terra, welcome to Twinstuff. :sign0016: Congrats on your twins. :Clap:


I didn't notice anything different with my twin pregnancy than my singleton pregnancy. I did start to show earlier with the twins though, I was in full maternity clothes by 12 weeks, other than that, I never would have even known I was pregnant.

I would encourage you to join our Big Sister Program. You will be matched up with another Mom with older twins and she will support you throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Click on the link in my signature for more information. It's a great program. B)

 

The night before I went in to get a 20-week ultrasound, speculating if it could be twins (because I'd had an awful first trimester), my husband said, "No WAY could it be twins, you aren't nearly big enough."

Ha. I am now, though. But I didn't start to show even as soon as I would have expected for it being my third pregnancy. So you never know.

 

I found out at 13 weeks and there was no denying those ultrasound photos definately had TWO babies! But I know I thought something was up prior to that; I was much bigger already than I had been with DD1. But I didn't have any other factors (I had no morning sickness for example, no family history of twins) so I had no reason to suspect.
Congratulations again and eventually it will sink in! There are days even now when I just can't believe I had twins!
