I’ve had a bit of an inkling the past couple of days….a bit of mommy intuition, I guess.   Maybe.

Or maybe I’m crazy.  That’s always possible, too.

But, I’ve had this feeling for several days now that I might be pregnant with twins. 

My uterus feels much more "full" and pronounced at this stage than it did with either Ben or Chloe.  And though I typically lose 10-15 lbs in the first trimester, I’m still hovering around my same weight, or up just a few pounds.  My pants already seem to be getting a bit snug as well.  Not tight at all, but just a little tiny bit less loose than before. 

Twins do run in my family, on my mom’s side. 

I know that everything I’m feeling can be easily explained away with other reasons, and I’m perfectly aware that the chances are I’ve not got more than one baby hanging out in there, but I just can’t shake the thought. 

I called my midwife this morning; my first appointment with her is in three weeks.  By then I’ll be 10+4wks and hopefully will be able to hear the heartbeat.  It’ll be hard to wait that long, but I’ll interested to see if the "feeling" goes away between now and then. 

I kind of hope it does, because seriously – I’ve got NO idea what I’d do with twins!

I hope for your sake as well that it’s not twins! I could see having twins as the first pregnancy, but you already have 3 kids running around *and* a man to deal with =

That is SO funny because I thought the same thing!! My levels were higher than “normal” and I was sick so so early this time. My twin feeling has kind of gone away…but I suppose there is always a chance! We shall see with both of us huh!? 🙂

Well, it’ll be interesting to see what happens… hoping for just one little one in there! Strangely, I had a twin feeling with our first pregnancy… and it was. xxx

Wow, twins! I can’t imagine having twins as a first pregnancy but with three other kids, saying you’d have your hands full would be an understatement. I’m sure if it is twins, everything will work out though.

Not to scare you….but my cousin decided to have her 4th and last baby, got pregnant on the first try, and it wasn’t long before she started feeling the same way – that she was having twins. She even pep-talked herself not to be upset at her u/s if there was only 1. Well….she’s having boy/girl twins! Mommy intuition is crazy! 🙂
