How to Know Twins from Pregnancy Symptoms

If one of your family trees has twins, will you wonder if you also have a chance to get twin babies? I personally believe that every parent, especially new mom would be happy for either single or twin babies.  But in some family, this also means double responsibility and extra educational fund.  There is only one way to be certain that twins are on the way, but there are a few early pregnancy signs that can predict twins.


HCG and morning sickness is the first sign.  HCG levels rising more than double or continuing to double after a few weeks can be a sign of a multiple pregnancy as the body is working harder to support the development of two babies instead of one. Higher levels of HCG can also mean more bouts or more violent bouts of morning sickness. Many women carrying twins will often find that they experience the same symptoms of women with single pregnancies but at a much higher degree. So, if your morning sickness is worse than previous pregnancies, you may be carrying multiples.
