Q: Twins, Molar, Or Normal?

Hello, everyone. My wife and I found out we are pregnant about a month ago. I plan on being as involved as humanly possible, but I may have done too much research for my own good.

My wife began to show a little bit at 6 weeks. She's now at 10 weeks, and wearing maternity clothes. At first, I thought she was just being dramatic. Now, after doing some research, i'm genuinely worried. She just got over what we interpreted as severe morning sickness. She would vomit 2-5 times / day. That went on for about a month. She was also extremely tired, which I figured was normal. She was asleep by 7:30 or 8pm every night.

Now, in my research I have found out about molar pregnancies. I've worried myself to death because of how sick she was and how she showed early. The thing is, I wouldn't think her breasts would get bigger or she would be so tired if there wasn't an embryo in there developing.

Can someone calm my nerves or give me some facts to hold me over until our doctor's appointment?

Thanks.

if when seh went to the drs and when they did the hcg lvl testing, if it showed up higher than normal they would have worried about twins and sent her in to get an u/s early to confirm it. Now if she hasn't been to the dr yet, I would suggest her getting an appointment. Sytomps for a preganncy don't change with twins, besides showing sooner...But depending on the woman's body you can show sooner as well. I'd suggest her getting to the dr sooner. I doubt it's a molar.

At 6 weeks your not really "showing" your just bloated, and cramped up. There's nothing in there to "show". Some women get extreme nasuea, in my case I was throwing up about 3 times a day as well.

Congratulations. Has she started her pre-natal vitamins, sometimes one brand of pre-natal vitamins do not always agree, their are other brands to choose from. Some of this may be normal but I also agree with the post above and that is to get checked out w/the Dr. Hang in there.
The best to you all!
Sandy
