miscarriage symptoms before m/c Posted: 03-06-08 14:18pm
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone who
has previously had a miscarriage had any
symptoms beforehand. I am 6 weeks with my
first pregnancy and am absolutely
terrified of all the horror stories
associated with miscarriage. I am very
healthy, go to the gym often, eat well, am
active, and am a healthy weight for my
height (5' 5" 120 lbs)
ALSO topic #2....
I am a twin and have gained 5-6 pounds
already... I have heard that excessive
weight gain in early pregnancy could be a
sign of twins. Do twins ALWAYS skip a
generation? Any twins out there who gave
birth to twins or who has a parent who is
a twin?
Thanksss,
Charlie

Miscarriage happens. Usually it is from
chromosomal anomalies and not from
anything you could do and/or prevent from
happening.
Are you an identical twin or fraternal?
Identical twins are not hereditary, they
are spontaneous. Fraternal twins are
hereditary, however there is no
'generational' thing (like skiping a
generation). My mother is a fraternal
twin. She has identical twin cousins and
triplet second cousins. I do not have
twins. My sister does not have twins. My
cousins do not have twins. We should be
the twin generation and we aren't.
Your chances are statistically higher -
but early weight gain is not an indicator
of twins. Early weight gain is a sign of
eating more calories/water weight.
Good luck. Let us know if its twins after
your first ultrasound!

I am a fraternal twin. I would be
absolutely thrilled to have twins,
especially because I believe I could raise
them well, being one myself...
Does the water weight go away during the
pregnancy (as in 2nd or 3rd trimester) or
does it stay on until after birth? I
haven't been consuming anymore calories
than normal, and have actually been eating
less because I become extremely full a few
bites into eating.
There are so many symptoms in pregnancy!
Google has become my new best friend,
especially after my first bloody nose in
years yesterday, and a need to know if my
feelings of disorientation and confusion
were normal.
