In most cases, women are never aware when they are expecting twins.
Most think they have the normal pregnancies since they are not aware of the signs of twin pregnancy.
Here are signs showing you are expecting twins:
1. Intense hunger during pregnancy
Women do feel hungry during pregnancy, and this might seem common among all.
Women expecting twins feel intense hunger because much food is shared with the twin babies.
2. Feeling fetal kicks and intense movements
Movements and kicks are also common during pregnancy, but with women who are expecting twins, the kicks and movements become more intense and begin earlier than expected.
3. Detecting more than one heartbeat
Foetus heartbeat cannot be detected just by listening.
In this case, a device known as Doppler is usually used.
A specialist uses it to hear the heartbeat of the foetus, and when more than one heartbeat is heard, then it means you could be expecting twins.
4. A bigger and more protruding baby bump
A woman carrying twins in most cases has a bigger and protruding abdomen compared to the one expecting a single child.
This is because twins need more space to develop.
