In early pregnancy with twins, symptoms are more evident. Pregnant women may experience intense pregnancy reactions, including severe nausea and vomiting, moodiness, dizziness, and other manifestations. Additionally, HCG levels may also increase, and the uterus may appear larger during examination compared to a typical pregnancy. As the pregnancy progresses, the abdominal bulge will also be more prominent than in singleton pregnancies.

1. More intense pregnancy reactions

We all know that pregnant women often experience nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, moodiness, and dizziness during pregnancy. However, did you know that expectant mothers carrying twins tend to experience more severe symptoms in the second month of pregnancy compared to those with singletons? Since the early symptoms of twin pregnancy are more obvious, mothers carrying twins often experience more difficulties.

2. Higher HCG levels

Generally, during fetal development, expectant mothers produce large amounts of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Tests have shown that the HCG levels of expectant mothers carrying twins are significantly higher than those carrying singletons.

3. Larger uterus

An enlarged uterus is an early symptom of twin pregnancy. If an expectant mother undergoes a pregnancy check-up in the 8th week and the uterus size is equivalent to that of the 11th week, she should undergo an ultrasound examination to determine if she is carrying twins or multiples.

4. Larger abdomen

Typically, the abdomen of expectant mothers carrying twins is larger and grows more rapidly compared to those carrying singletons. In the initial stages of twin pregnancy, after 4 months, the abdominal enlargement becomes more noticeable.
