Just curious, how far along were you when you found out you were having twins? My husband and I had the first ultrasound at 6 weeks and specifically asked if we were having twins because they run in my family nad the doctor said there was just one. At 11 weeks we had a second ultrasound because we had a new doctor and the ultrasound stll showed one although it was a really quick one and she had no reason to look for a second baby. Then at our 21 week appt. to find out the sex a third doctor who does the 3D ultrasounds flicked on the machine and said "well it's twins" and we were shocked. I told myself not to get too excited b/c I thought he was joking, but he wasn't and we were thrilled! I just wondered if anyone else had a similar situation.

I found out at 18 weeks during an ultrasound. We were sent to someone who specialized in high risk pregnancies because my HCG levels were high which they said meant I was either having twins or there might be a problem with the baby. I knew it was twins because when I took the pregnancy test it lit up immediately and I was in maternity clothes by 2 months. I also felt movement at 13 weeks and hadn't felt that until 18 weeks with my first pregnancy. The moment they put the ultrasound instrument on my belly it was quite clear when there were 2 heads moving in seperate directions. I thought my husband was going to faint!

Cynthia Breland- I found out at 19 weeks almost the same as you. People think it is crazy we didn't know till then but that's how it worked out. Some weird way I am glad I didn't know till then, less time to worry about all that could go wrong I guess and what a surprise!

I also had an ultra sound at 6 weeks because of sign of a miscarriage and they only saw 1 baby. Had another at 8 weeks and to our surprise there were 2 babies. Very shocked about the whole thing!!! My husband was standing there watching and good thing he had a wall to lean on or he would have fallen right over!! My twins are fraternal boy/girl and there are no twins on my side so very surprised!!!

I suspected immediately as I wore regular clothes until the sixth month of my previous two pregnancies but the morning after the positive result I had to dig out maternity jeans as I already had a bump. Scan confirmed a week later. Doc asked if I was surprised and I said no, but I knew a lot of people who would be! Later, a week before they were born, an inexperienced young doc palpated my bump and announced it was triplets! He was wrong, he had confused a head with a bottom but it was a shock for a couple of hours! They are almost 26 now so survival is possible!
