I think twins are just great!----for other people. I only want 3 kids, and I have 2, and am pregnant. I have had very difficult post-partums with both, and I am especially sensitive to sleep deprivation. So I'm really hoping to not have twins.
BUT, I am getting a little bit freaked out by a bunch of stuff...first, I got my + test at 8-9 dpo, which is not freakishly early, but could be because of higher hcg levels (twins?). Second, my early pregnancy symptoms are really exaggerated versus previous 2 times. I'm always in bed by 7pm, and constantly tired. I'm ravenously hungry, horribly nauseaus, and all that other fun stuff (hello, bloat?). Also, this might be TMI, but this was our first cycle trying and we conceived right away. Probably in large part because we BDed nearly every single day this cycle. If there were 2 eggs, his boys woulda got them LOL. Also, he's got great sperm; again TMI but last time we weren't really planning the pg, and, well, um, the one time we didn't use protection was a second-shot deal, if you kwim. His second time within 5 minutes. So, what he's got must be motile if not abundant. Yeah, sorry for that TMI! But those do contribute to my worry.
I guess I won't know for sure until an u/s. That will be at 11 weeks. Unless this stuff keeps getting worse, or my bloodwork comes back with elevated levels of all the things that indicate multiples.
Anyone else actually fearing the possibility?
