Question by Kristyn R: What are some early symptoms that may indicate a twin pregnancy?
I just found out that I am pregnant on St. Patty's Day. According to my LMP, I am 5 weeks. However, I have had strong pregnancy symptoms for 2 months now. I had what I believe was my "period" on Valentine's Day, and unusually it lasted for almost 2 weeks. I have heard many women do this when pregnant with twins. Anyone know? Twins do run in my family.

well, i don't think that having symptoms before you're actually pregnant would indicate twins. That just doesn't make sense. HOwever, HUGE increases in hcg levels can indicate twins, as can two sacs on an early ultrasound. You may experience more severe symptoms, but i know women who have had twins that had no pregnancy symptoms at all
Good luck!

If you are only 5 weeks pregnant how would having 2 months of pregnancy symptoms mean you are having twins?
You just have messed up hormones before you got pregnant unless you are further along than you think.
Possibly strong symptoms
Any bleeding should be reported to your carer darling.
2 weeks is long time to have bleeding in early pregnancy.
Breakthrough bleeding is common but it doesnt last that long. It is very light.
I do advise you see your doctor – It may be something serious – Or may not be.
Blood test can determine if twins. Or ultrasound after 7 weeks or so

I’ve never heard of differences in “periods” however, I do know that some people say that the longer first trimester symptoms last the more likely you are to have twins. Sometimes you can’t tell you have twins until you deliver though.
I’ve never heard of stronger symptoms indicating twins. For me I felt nauseas only once and took a pregnancy test I bought from the dollar store after being one day late just for the heck of it. I had really no symptoms other than my clothes started to get tight very quick.
