Moms of Twins........??????

I have a few q's for you.....

1-- Were you able to tell on the first sonogram you were having twins? If not, when did you/how did you find out?

2-- What was the first sign/difference that you realized it may be more than one?

3--Generally were you on bed rest?

4-- When did your belly pop?

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

First sonogram at 6 weeks, they didn't notice it, but saw a shadow and a VERY strong heart beat.

7 weeks had another sonogram and they saw both of them.
I was in maternity clothes at 12 weeks but could have been in them sooner, I went up a pant size first, but my shirts were all too short.

At 34 weeks I was told to rest more, but not bed rest for low fluid and withint the week it went up. I was induced at 35 weeks.

1-- Were you able to tell on the first sonogram you were having twins? If not, when did you/how did you find out?

We had a good idea because we did IVF. they put three embryos back in and two stuck. When the doctor called me with my BEta result, DPO 19, my number was 631 which is off the charts for a singleton on that day so we were pretty sure it was twins.

Confirmed at first sonogram at 4 weeks pg. I had an early sono, 2 weeks after procedure, because IU was seeing an RE. Two little heartbeats were the size of the tip of a ball point pen.

2-- What was the first sign/difference that you realized it may be more than one?

See above

3--Generally were you on bed rest?

I teach high school. They assigned me a lunch duty from he ll this year and I had to tell them I was pg the first week of school because I had to be reassigned. My doctor told me when he will pull me but I'm not allowed to say because I'm working in a school district w/o a contract. I also have a lot of sick days which I am entitled to use and don't want them giving me any problems.

I'm 18 weeks today and some days already, it's hard enough.

4-- When did your belly pop?

Well, I never had six pack abs but I had to tell people at 8 weeks because I gained 8 lbs by that point and all of the nosey women, and some students, were staring.

Re: Moms of Twins........??????

1-- Yes, I was dehydrated & at the hospital. I was about 4-5 weeks.

2-- I was VERY sick & nauseous. Alot worse then w/ my first pregnancy.

3--Not at all.

4-- Pretty early on (but again it was my second pregnancy)
