How do you know if you miscarry twins?

Answer 1

You can't unless you have an ultrasound scan which shows 2 (or more) babies. I had a single baby first time around and was really tired and nauseous for the first 13 weeks, also my breasts were really tender from 5 weeks onwards. Second time around I had no such symptoms. I did not have an early scan but when I went to the doctor at 14 weeks and he measured from the top of my uterus to my pubis and it was 17cm. and I realized I could feel movements, I became convinced I had twins. He was less convinced, but as I am a midwife and he was a general doctor (usual in UK) I was the expert. When I had a scan at 18 weeks and there were 2 babies I wasn't really surprised.

Answer 2

I am a 35 yr old who had a tubal reversal,( Tubes had been tied for 10 years after 2 healthy pregnancies) had a miscarriage in Jan, 08, and then had a positive result last Tuesday, though I was spotting lightly it was irregular, it was the day I was supposed to start my period but took a test anyway and it was positive.

imagine my apprehension As I already miscarried, and now I was bleeding, went to my Doctor to have hcg levels tested, and they came back Quite high according to Doc. and mentioned that I could be having a multiple pregnancy, that night after receiving those results I was in the hospital as the bleeding got heavier as did the cramping,( confirmed Miscarriage that night) now it is 7 days later and I am still bleeding heavy. is this Normal? I am wondering if bleeding heavy(ier) than norm may be a sign of multiples?

Answer 3

To state the obvious ask your doctor. Usually at about 8 weeks they can tell on an ultrasound. Some symptoms are that you feel big. You have extremely bad morning sickness and really large weight gain in your second trimester, like 7 - 10lbs. These are just a few :)

Another sign is if your test line is darker then the control line early in pregnancy like 4weeks pregnant which is the 1st day of your missed period.

Answer 4

When the doctor see it on the ultrasound and detect 2 heartbeats.

Answer 5

The twins aren't born. It's sort of the definition.

Answer 6

an ultrasound is how I knew I had lost one of the twins but the other one was still viable

Answer 7

you can generally not tell if you are having twins, if you have done a pregnancy test and you are positive, then you need to go to the doctors, and get an appointment for a scan

Answer 8

Get an ultrasound.
