odd feelings.

Im only 5 weeks & 3 days! i've gaind 5 to 6 lbs already :( i eat pretty healthy, because i have a 19 month old who mainly wants vegetables, & fruits. & with my first pregnancy i was showing at 8 to 9 weeks, but im already EXTREMELY bloated, so i look like im 3 or 4 months along... i know im no further along than 6 weeks, i had my mirena takin out in sept, light period in october, & period in november- the last person in my family to have a multiple pregnancy was my great grandmother on my daddy's side, & my great great grandmother on my mothers side. my husband's family has had twins every other generation, & so far none of his siblings have had twins.. im just curious to know if there's a big chance i could be having multiples?


Also for the past couple days i've been completely exhausted, but i can't sleep. already craving foods, & wanting to clean constantly.. im already a very clean person, not ocd, but i keep my house really clean. I get a full nights sleep, & besides the cleanin & playing with my son, my day is pretty relaxed.. i didn't have any of these symptoms until i was further along in my pregnancy with my 19 month old, so is it normal to have different symptoms everytime your pregnant?

Pregnancy symptoms differ pregnancy to pregnancy bc it isn't based on you genetically but the hormones and the hormones change even can change day to day. If you need more house to clean come on over to my place ;) I'm 30 weeks and no desire to clean

Like posted above each pregnancy is different so it's very normal to get different symptoms each time around. Only the mothers genes have any role in fraternial twins, and that's due to the number of eggs she releases. Identical twins on the other hand have nothing to do with anything and randomly occurs in something like 3 out of 1000 births.
