Signs and Symptoms of Twin Pregnancy

What are the Signs of a Twin Pregnancy?

Certain circumstances are consistent with carrying more than one fetus. But experiencing the signs of a twin pregnancy doesn’t always mean a person is carrying two fetuses.

These signs, some of which occur in the early weeks of pregnancy, include:

. Early fetal movement.

. Fetal movement in more than one area.

. Fundal height is greater than gestational age. The baby bump is measuring larger than expected.

. Gaining weight quickly.

. Having high levels of hCG, a pregnancy hormone, or alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein made by the fetus’s liver.

. Hearing more than one heartbeat on a fetal Doppler.

What are Twin Pregnancy Symptoms?

Twin pregnancy symptoms are similar to those of a single fetus (singleton) pregnancy but may be more intense.

You may experience:

. Breast tenderness.

. Fatigue.

. Frequent urination.

. Increased appetite.

. Morning sickness.
