How do you know if you’re carrying more than one baby? There are sometimes many, sometimes very few, indications that a mother-to-be is carrying twins. With increased medical technology, incidences of shocked parents and providers in the delivery room are decreasing, but this still happens on occasion. To prevent this surprise, expectant parents and their doctors should be on the lookout for signs of a multiple pregnancy.
Since they have no basis for comparison, first-time mothers may have difficulty identifying the exaggerated pregnancy symptoms associated with multiple pregnancies. Still, severe morning sickness that lasts longer than usual, as well as seemingly excessive weight gain can be telling signs of days to get pregnant.
