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.
