need help from moms who had twins

[tinytoes201]

i am 11 weeks pregnant and i look like im 6 months.i noticed my bump at 6 weeks,and now at 11 weeks im that big people are asking me when is the baby due..so its realy noticable. my doc agrees that my bump is realy big but says i have to wait until i get my first scan.. the only thing is  i wont have my scan untill im around 7 months bc there is such a long waiting list,and i realy cant afford to go private.
so my symptoms are the realy big bump,extreme tiredness,if i walk up the stairs im so out of breath,and my boobs(witch were so small before)are hugh,and very sore,even under my arms are sore..
         i was pregnant on twins 2 years ago but i lost 1..  so just woundering do you think it sounds like twins,and what was your symtoms before it was comfirmed with the scan??

I am 9 wks & about 4 days pregnant with twins and I look like I am about 4 months pregnant.  This is my 2nd pregnancy and 2nd set of twins too.  I am showing faster then I did the last time.  It's not too noticeable to people yet but I notice it.  I am tired most of the time, I get headaches from time to time and certain smells make me gag and I get nauseous but I don't get sick.  It comes in waves.  I hope this helps you.  Take care and good luck to you.  Hope all is well.  Let me know how everything works out.  Congrats!!

I m almost 9 weeks with twins and look like very pregnant and also having headache 24/7 don't know what to do?  and very nauseous barely eat:(
I have to go for my first prenatal appointment at the end of this month.

i wont get my scan until im around 6 or 7 mnths,so i have to wait until then.. witch is a discrace..i was pregnant on twins 2 years ago and the same thing i had to wait untill i was 6 months to have a scan,so i didnt know i was having twins untill 1 week before my due scan i miscarried,i went to the er and they saw i had twins and had miscarried 1.so i suppose im trying to guess if this is twins,, on my other twins i didnt gain much weight and it felt like a single pregnancy,but this feels different.

I had the complete opposite when i was pregnant with my twins, they were born in june.  i was totally shocked when they told me and throughtout my pregnancy when i told people i was having twins they would tell me i didn't look big enough even though i ended up gaining about 40 pounds all together.

i was very sick and tired all the time though.



goodluck

this is a stupid question since this is pregnancy #6 for me,but how do you know if you can feel your uterus?   on all my pregnancys my bump remained realy small until around 6 or 7 months,you could not guess before then that i was preggs.i have no weight anywhere else,just my stomack is hugh

I don't have an answer, in fact I am here for the same reason.  I'm 10 weeks & huge.  Although it is baby #2 (#1will be 8yrs in Feb), it feels WAY different.  No sickness, but was never sick with #1.  I am SUPER tired all the time & have gotten used to the 24/7 headache.

I haven't been to my 1st official MW appointment so I'll have to wait.  I'm pretty sure that I can feel my uterus just below my navel, not to mention my 10lb weight gain.  My only "risk-factor" is my age.  I'll be 40 in January.
