I didn’t suspect that I was carrying yet another twin pregnancy. I had the same relentless nausea and exhaustion during the very early weeks as I had experienced with my first twin pregnancy but as it was the last thing I expected to happen I didn’t associate the symptoms as being twin related only pregnancy related. I started to show fairly early but as I hadn’t with my first twin pregnancy I made no connection to the possibility of another twin pregnancy.
I first discovered I was carrying twins for the second time when going for the first ultrasound. This had been offered to us early because of the previous twin pregnancy and a previous miscarriage. So at 8 weeks pregnant armed with my Dad for support as my husband was away working I found out that yet again I was having twins.
If I am perfectly honest, I was absolutely delighted to be having twins again, I couldn’t have been more pleased. It felt perfectly natural to me, I didn’t know any different.
Of course my Dad was surprised and when we rang my husband he just didn’t get it. I said “Its Twins” about three or four times but he just assumed I was rambling on about our 5 year old twins.
