I will be 27 weeks july 18th and i havent had an ultrasound since i found out i was pregnant. (which was @ about 17 weeks!) some things are seeming odd about my pregnancy that differs from my last 2. the father of this baby is a paternal twin, so im wondering if i have a twin thats hidden in there?. I was told my baby is head down but im feeling kicking into my vagina area that hurts like hell!. also when i go in to c my obgyn wed hear a heartbeat on one side of my stomach then on the other side its sounds exactly the same as it did on the other side (not more faint) i gained so much weight that my ankles and my legs n feet are swollen which is not the usual for MY pregnancies...idk but this pregnancy is killing me people say im little to be almost 7 months but i FEEL HUGE!..HELP!!

Identical twins are believed to not have a genetic component, but a totally random event, so you can rest east there too lol

@Celeste.. whew you helped me calm down a little..lol yes i have another ultrasound coming up (i think). i have soonercare so im not sure if that allows me for 1 or 2. i just found out also that identical twins run in MY family..OMG.. not trying to bug over petty situations (because i will be happy either way) but twins run in both of our families, although my babys father is NOT identical.

You mean fraternal twin? The father would have no bearing for you to have fraternal twins because he doesn't have anything to do with ovulating 2 eggs. If they didn't see a twin at 17 weeks, then you probably aren't pregnant with twins. And remember, each pregnancy is different! Do you have another u/s scheduled?
