So.. I was curious if anyon could give me a rough esimate abotut how far along could you tell you were have muliples?? I mean I am 7 weeks along and I am pretty big I look as if I am 3 or 4 months along.. I havent gain any weight, so I am not sure wat to think. Everyone believes I am havin twins just by the looks of it.. But I am not to sure anymore.. I heard when you are carring muliples you get twice as sick and everything is really double.. But the woman in my family never got morning sickness they just were really tired and had nausa when they were have any babies including twins.. So wat do you think :oops:

Ultrasound. Ultrasound. Ultrasound.

Many women think (wish?) they were having multiples. I'm not sure why, but this is a common thought among pregnant women. If you want, I can dig around for some statistics on this - but the only for surely positive surely sure way to know is to have an ultrasound (or wait and give birth, which is how they did it in the 'old' days).

Good luck.

Worried about when I got pregnant

I was wondering if anyone knew of a guaranteed way to find out how old my 'baby' is. I had my last period in December and have missed both January and February periods. My first pre-natal visit confirmation and ultrasound say that I was 9 weeks making it that I got pregnant in December. I just want to make sure that is when and not that it was January. I have diabetes and have been told that it will make the baby grow faster and bigger. I'm worried that the due date may be wrong or that my baby may just be big and unhealthy already. Please help...
