Showing Already. Twins?
Posted: 03-31-05 22:02pm

Hi,
i've never sent anything on a forum before...
Anyways, i'm fairly certain i'm only 8 or 9 weeks into my second pregnancy, and i've already started showing- i've heard you show sooner with your second, but this is outrageous.
I've had awful morning (all day and night) sickness, which is just starting to get better now, so it's not like i've had any appetite and just started putting on weight already.
I was never very sick with my first.
I know it's probably stupid to start comparing pregnancies, but seriously this is insane.
My grandmother had 2 sets of twins, my husbands grandmother was a twin. What do you think the likelihood of there being more than one in there?

Twin's has nothing to do witht he father's side at all. As far as you having htem it's possible. Did you have an hcg lvl done with your blood? If there was a concern for twins they would have gone ahead and done an u/s and been more concerned about it. If you need to go ahead and say something to your dr at the appointment. :)

Hey, that was quick ! Thanks.

Yeah - i'm waiting on the resluts of the quantitive hcg, or hgc test, whichever it is. I just can't stand the suspense !
Perhaps it's normal to have an early belly with your second?
My mother told me you get bigger each time, and by the time you have your third, you're in maternity clothes before you even miss a period !!!

I guess i'll find out soon either way. :d

They skip generations so you never knowww!!!

Other than that it could just be bad sickness and water retention

Hi,
sorry was ages getting back to anyone- I couldn't log in for some reason, and i'm still not sure this reply is going to go to the right place.

I did get the results back, but apparently hgc levels vary so much they were'nt sure, so I ended up having an ultrasound after all.
There's just the one 8) but every thing's ok, so I guess i'm just plain big.

I have no idea of my weight before I was pregnant or now- I have never owned set of scales :shock:

my clothes are fitting the same, I haven't gone up a size or anything it's just I have a nice bump in them !
At least i'll be finished with the "do I pull my skirt up over or try and push it under" fat stage and straight to the yep i'm pregnant aren't I glorious stage quicker than last time.

"talk" to you again soon !

Ultrasounds are pretty reliable to tell you whether or not your having twins, unless one is hiding!! I doubt it htough! Good luck hun!! You should post some pics!!
