The probability of twins due to a large gestational sac

We often see pairs of cute twins on the streets, especially nowadays when the second child policy is implemented. For many people, being able to have two children at once would be double the happiness. However, this kind of thing is hard to come by and not everyone is so lucky. It is generally believed that people with larger gestational sacs have a greater chance of conceiving twins than normal people. Is this true? This article will tell you the real answer, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Is it possible to have twins if the gestational sac is too large?

This requires careful observation. If it is twins, it can usually be seen at this time. Pay attention to rechecking. The fetal heart sac can be seen by ultrasound as early as five weeks. When the embryo begins to take a human shape, the heart beat can be seen by ultrasound. At 12 weeks, the gender can be identified from the external genitalia. At 16 weeks, the pregnant woman can feel the fetal movement herself, and at 20 weeks, the fetal heart rate can be heard.

What are the early symptoms of twin pregnancy?

1. Pregnancy reactions are more intense

We all know that expectant mothers are prone to nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, irritability, dizziness and other phenomena during pregnancy. But did you know that expectant mothers pregnant with twins experience more severe initial symptoms of pregnancy than single mothers in the second month of pregnancy? Because the early symptoms of twin pregnancy are more obvious, expectant mothers also have a harder time than single mothers.

2. Higher HCG value

Generally speaking, during the development of the fetus, a large amount of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is produced in the expectant mother's body. After testing, it was found that the HCG value of expectant mothers pregnant with twins is much higher than that of expectant mothers pregnant with single babies.

3. The uterus is larger than usual

An enlarged uterus of an expectant mother is an early symptom of being pregnant with twins. When an expectant mother has a pregnancy check-up, if she is in the 8th week of pregnancy, the size of her uterus may be the same as that of the 11th week. At this time, the expectant mother should have an ultrasound to check whether she is pregnant with twins or multiple babies.

4. The abdomen is larger than normal

Normally, the abdomen of a mother pregnant with twins is larger than that of a mother pregnant with a single baby, and the growth rate is significantly faster. Among the early symptoms of twin pregnancy, the expectant mother's abdomen will become more obvious after 4 months of pregnancy.

I believe that conceiving twins is the dream of every expectant parent. If the gestational sac is found to be enlarged, it does not mean that there is no possibility of twins, but an actual examination is still necessary to know the answer. Pregnant mothers can learn more about some early symptoms of being pregnant with twins, so that they can know some of their conditions early.
