Miscarriage happens. Usually it is from chromosomal anomalies and not from anything you could do and/or prevent from happening.

Are you an identical twin or fraternal? Identical twins are not hereditary, they are spontaneous. Fraternal twins are hereditary, however there is no 'generational' thing (like skiping a generation). My mother is a fraternal twin. She has identical twin cousins and triplet second cousins. I do not have twins. My sister does not have twins. My cousins do not have twins. We should be the twin generation and we aren't.

Your chances are statistically higher - but early weight gain is not an indicator of twins. Early weight gain is a sign of eating more calories/water weight.

Good luck. Let us know if its twins after your first ultrasound!

I am a fraternal twin. I would be absolutely thrilled to have twins, especially because I believe I could raise them well, being one myself...

Does the water weight go away during the pregnancy (as in 2nd or 3rd trimester) or does it stay on until after birth? I haven't been consuming anymore calories than normal, and have actually been eating less because I become extremely full a few bites into eating.

There are so many symptoms in pregnancy! Google has become my new best friend, especially after my first bloody nose in years yesterday, and a need to know if my feelings of disorientation and confusion were normal.

I am an identical twin and I am also pregnant! I see this post is old, but its really exciting to run into another pregnant twin forum. Wow. crazy =] =] =]
