The two BIGGEST differences between this twin pregnancy and my previous singletons was my increase in appetite at the beginning (before I even knew I was carrying twins)....I felt like I had to eat ALL the time....and my nausea (no vomitting) was REALLY bad too -- I had ALL day sickness, not just morning sickness. At 12 weeks along & my first U/S, I found out that I was carrying twins! U/S is the sure way of knowing. Good luck!

I've been wondering if I might be prego with twins due to the constant hunger. I feel like I eat ALL THE TIME, too. and nausea is bad too, but I haven't been able to vomit. I get my first u/s next Wednesday, but it's at 6 weeks 4 days, do you think they might be able to see if I'm having twins then?

Hope that your app. went well! Were they able to tell you if you're carrying twins or just one baby? I had my 1st U/S at 12 weeks 3 days & the U/S tech. was able to tell me very confidently that I was carrying twins. At 6 Weeks 4 days, they might be able to tell you if they see one or two egg yolk sacks, but a later U/S will most likely confirm twins or a singleton.

Good luck!
