Signs of twin pregnancy - what are the early symptoms

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

Symptoms of twin pregnancy can be conditionally divided into two groups: a woman's perceptions and medical facts. Sometimes it is observed that the first ultrasound examination cannot clearly confirm that more than one child is expected. In this case, the woman will be able to rely on several symptoms.

 

Of course, multiple pregnancies are not uncommon. This is usually influenced by the following factors:

• Heredity. If the woman or her spouse has twin children in the family;
• Stimulation of ovulation. If, for any reason, a woman is prescribed hormonal medications that stimulate follicle maturation;
• Abrupt discontinuation of long-acting oral contraceptives. In this case, the ovaries begin to function with dual activity and in some cases produce several egg cells at the same time.

Early signs of twin pregnancy

Of course, the exact result can be told by a doctor through an ultrasound examination (it can be done at 4-5 weeks of pregnancy). In order for the mother to determine that the twins are developing, it is necessary to pay attention to the following:

• The second line on the pregnancy test is very bright. In the early days of menstrual delay OXG hormone levels are very high. In this case, the second line is clearly visible in the test;
• Explicit toxicosis. Although toxicosis is unlikely to be observed in the development of a single fetus, it is inevitably observed in the development of twins. Sometimes even in the first weeks of pregnancy;
• Increased appetite. In this case, everything makes sense: now a woman has to eat for not only two, but three or even four people;
• Sudden changes in mood. Due to changes in hormone levels, mood can change several times a day. Because of this, it should come as no surprise to cry first and then feel like the happiest woman in the world 10 minutes later;
• Weakness and fatigue quickly. Drowsiness is a common condition for all women in the early stages of pregnancy. But mothers who carry multiple fetuses at once feel it more strongly. The whole body feels heavy, and the only desire is to fall asleep;
• Redness of the skin. Sudden hormonal changes can also cause facial blemishes that have not bothered the face for a long time;
• AFP blood tests for show very high results.

Other symptoms are no different from normal pregnancy symptoms.

It is very difficult to carry several fetuses at the same time, so be very careful and cautious. It is important not to miss scheduled visits to the doctor, to submit all tests in a timely manner and to listen to the requirements of the organism.
