Pregnancy is always a happy stage for the whole family, and looking forward to the arrival of a little life is an unparalleled happiness. If a expectant mother discovers during a pregnancy test that she is actually pregnant with twins, then this sense of happiness is doubled, and it is a gift from heaven. Next, let's take a look at the symptoms of early pregnancy in twins.
1. Stronger pregnancy reactions
Expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins may experience more severe primary symptoms of pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, irritability, and dizziness, in the second month of pregnancy compared to single mothers. Due to the more obvious initial symptoms of being pregnant with twins, expectant mothers also have a harder time than single mothers.
2. HCG value higher or above
During fetal development, expectant mothers produce a large amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in their bodies. The HCG value of pregnant twin mothers is much higher than that of pregnant singleton mothers.
3. The uterus is larger than usual
An enlarged uterus in expectant mothers is an early symptom of being pregnant with twins. When expectant mothers undergo prenatal check ups, if you are in the 8th week of pregnancy and the size of the uterus detected is the size of the 11th week. At this time, expectant mothers should undergo ultrasound to check if they are pregnant with twins or multiple pregnancies.
4. Two fetal heart sounds
At the fourth month of pregnancy, fetal heart sounds can be measured using ultrasound. If it is a symptom of twin pregnancy, the initial symptoms of twin pregnancy can be detected by ultrasound to hear the heart sounds of both fetuses.
The above is the encyclopedia's introduction to the symptoms of early pregnancy in twins. Finally, I would like to remind expectant mothers that if two fetuses develop and grow in the uterus at the same time, it will cause excessive dilation of the uterus, making it difficult for the uterus to elongate to accommodate the excessive growth of twins. Premature birth is more common, especially when not paying attention to rest. Therefore, paying attention to rest is the main measure to avoid premature birth.
