I will be 29 weeks pregnant on March 21st. I did a fertility cycle and I am concerned. I seem to be alot larger the second time around. Everyone I meet asks if I am carrying twins. Well....according to the ultrasound at 20 weeks...we saw only one. I know every pregnancy and every woman is different but how large should my belly be at 29 weeks. We measured it and at 28.1 weeks...it was 54 1/2 inches at the largest area. Is this average or could there be more than one? When we did the first ultra sound at 8 weeks...there were two babies and I lost one because it turned out to be an empty sac...what if...Is in the back of my mind. Should I ask for another Ultrasound to see if more than one? My doctor also says he only heard one heartbeat....???????????
