Twin Pregnancy Symptoms: 8 Early Signs
on Jul 10, 2012
by Lindsey Zaldivar
Did you ever look at your pregnant belly and wonder, Could it be twins? Here are the signs to look for.
If you think you might be carrying twins, these are just going to be a few things that you can look out for.
First thing to look out for would be higher HCG levels. Now HCG levels are tested for at your doctor’s office. It’s just a simple blood test. And not everyone’s going to automatically get an HCG test. They happen early on in your pregnancy and typically only happen for women that have undergone fertility treatments or have had miscarriages in the past. So if you don’t get an HCG test, totally fine, there’s nothing wrong with you. Your doctor isn’t doing anything wrong but if you do happen to get one you can check for your levels and if your levels are very high, very early on and are doubling very fast, that can be a sign of twins.

Some women experience excessive morning sickness very early on in their pregnancies. I think typically morning sickness hits right around like 6-8 weeks so if you are experiencing really bad morning sickness before that, like around 4 weeks, then that could be a sign of twins.
If you’re measuring large for your gestational age, definitely a sign of twins because there are two babies in there instead of one, you’re going to have to expand a little bit faster that you would if you’re carrying a singleton.
Another one would be if you’re experiencing early and frequent fetal movement. Typically for your first pregnancy, women tend to experience their first fetal movement anywhere between 18 and 20 weeks, but if you’re experiencing that a lot sooner and a lot more frequent earlier, that definitely could be a sign of twins. Like if you experience a kick or a movement real low in your belly and then something up real high, definitely could be a sign of twins. Because if you don’t think the baby’s quite as big as your whole stomach is yet.
And then mother’s intuition, if you think you might be having twins, you just might be.
And also take a look at your family history because if you’ve got twins on your side or your partner has twins on his side, you know that can definitely play a role whether or not you guys will have twins.
Now everything that I’ve talked about so far is a fail safe way to know if you’re having twins or not or if you’re carrying twins or not, but I do have two ways that can be pretty concrete and I tell you 100%:
The first one would be using your fetal doppler or having the doctor use the fetal Doppler. If you’re not a pro at using one, you might get a false reading but you’d be able to pick up two separate heartbeats on a fetal doppler so they could tell you either way whether you’re having one or two.
And then of course the ultimate fail safe way to know if you’re having twins is an ultrasound. Ultrasounds typically happen about 8 weeks, 8-10 weeks I think is about the earliest that the doctor will do an ultrasound unless you’ve experienced problems in the past, then you might be able to get one earlier but at 8 weeks you can definitely see the baby on the screen and that would be very easy to tell if you’re having a singleton or twins.
So those are just a few ways that you’d be able to know if you’re carrying twins so, kind of keep an ear out if you’re early in your pregnancy and you think you might be experiencing twins, you know, there are definitely some signs out there that could lead you one way or the other, so, good luck! And will talk to you next time. Bye!

I looked up the conceiveeasy ttckit and I was not sure about using a natural product to help me get pergnant. I really did not think it would work. I had tried for years with no help and was never able to get pergnant. I am here to tell you this stuff really works. I am now 4 months along and can’t wait to see what is going on in this growning belly of mine. Twins run in my family and I would love to have twins. Thanks again to the support of conceiveeasy.
I hope we have more then one in this belly!! Pregnant by month 6!! I started these pills and notice great changes right away!! Great product and glad that I ordered!!
Happy for you!
I just started with the pills. Hope this will also work for me.
I have a child. Next time I would love to have twins but I’m not twin myself. Would these pills help me ?
Which type of fertibilla will increase my chances of having multiples? And what would happen if I just take a bigger dose to do so?
Fertibella as a fertility treatment, including other types of fertility treatments, can increase chances of twin or multiple pregnancies. However, if the purpose of taking any fertility treatment in the absence of any fertility issue is solely to increase chances of having twins or multiple pregnancies, this resort can put a woman at risk for complications, and therefore should not be attempted. The same goes for going over the recommended dosage of any fertility treatment in order to attain such results. Doing so would be putting an unnecessary risk to one’s health. All fertility treatments have a recommended dosage that needs to be followed in order to make the most out of its desired effects, which are to increase fertility and achieve conception, for which it was made for in the first place.
Hi my name is nga! I just found out I’m only 3weeks pregnant. But I always get morning sickness 1week. But I don’t wen I’m know wen I’m gonna due. May I be having a twins
I was five days late on my period,the had my period for two days,and the two pregnancy test I took at home showed negative,should I try another one or wait and see if I start on the 24th of this month?
How can i determine the exact date of conception?? My lmp was feb 5, 2013….
Yes, Fertibella is an effective fertility treatment that can increase your chances of bearing twins. Although,if you do not have the need for any fertility treatment; it is not advisable to
use any of these treatments for the purpose of increasing your chances of having twins.
Since the sperm can stay inside your reproductive tract up to five days, conception could occur five days after your intercourse, depending on the date which your ovulation took place. With February 5, 2013 as your LMP, your possible date of conception can run from February 15 to February 23, 2013.
Can you please help me the symptoms of twins babys, as my wife is 9 week 5 days pregnant. As per doctor consults she under gone for 1st scanning and results are bladder are lengthy 1 baby is healthy at one corner and second couldn’t recognised as its seems dark. Doctor advices to get one more scan in 12 week for further clarity. In this stage are there chances of twins. As her mother had twins in which 1 survived. Plz put a mail to me regarding this to get more clarity. ([email protected]) or [email protected]
Since you’re presently 3 weeks pregnant, your probable due date is 37 weeks from now. There’s a good chance that you might be having twins if you have bad morning sickness, higher HCG levels, experience early fetal movements and hear two heartbeats within your uterus.
Since your wife’s mother was able to conceive twins, there is a good likelihood that your wife is conceiving twins. Your wife might be having twins if she is measuring large for her gestational age, experiences early and frequent fetal movement and hears two separate heartbeats on a fetal dopple.
There is a good possibility that you might be pregnant, given that you have missed your periods and your spotting for two days might be caused by your implantation bleeding. With this, it is best that you take another home pregnancy test 14 days after the first day that you have missed your period in order for you to have a reliable result.
