Hello all. I am new/old to the board. I just found out I was pg with my 4th pregnancy (2 healthy so far, 1 angel) and due on April 5th. I had MS with both of my kids and absolutly none with my m/c. This time around I am sick and gagging 24/7. I haven't shared this with anyone (especially DH), but I think that I may be carrying twins. My father is a twin, plus there is another set in his family. I think that twins usually come from the mother's side don't they? My theroy is that this time around, I am sick enough for 2 kids KWIM? My other 2, I would be sick just in the morning, usually when I brushed my teeth. After that, I was completly fine. This time, I cannot even stand to look at food, but my butt is getting bigger by the minute. I am only 9 weeks and I am already thinking that I have to pull all the materninty clothes out of storage. Have any of you ever had really, really bad m/s that lasts all day? Could this mean twins, or do I just have crazy preggo brain already? I guess it just makes me concerned because I usually don't feel this horrible while PG.

With my second pregnancy I had horrible, all day long sickness. It was so bad that I ended up spending a couple of days in the hospital hooked up to an IV. My DH was convinced that I must be having twins because of how sick I was. Other people told me that it must be a girl because of how sick I was. Well, it was just one and it was a boy. And, I stayed sick until about 18 weeks. The had to put me on reglan and phenergan to keep food down.

My dad is also a (fraternal) twin and my dh has always hoped that would give us a better chance at having twins. But, I think you are right, I think they do come from the mother's side of the family. I do not think you are crazy though. My dh was SO convinced that the pregnancy I was so sick through was twins. He asked the dr at more than one appointment if he was sure there wasn't another baby hiding in there somewhere. I don't think he was convinced until I gave birth and there was only the one baby, LOL.

Thanks for your post. At least I know I'm not the only one who is so sick. There are times that I feel better, but then I freak out and think that I am losing all my syptoms KWIM? It is easier for me to think that every thing is fine with the baby as long as I feel like total and complete crap LOL!!

Okay, so I still feel sick 24/7. Sometimes it gets so bad that in the middle of a conversation, I have to stop talking, so I don't puke on the person I am talking to. My DH has already learned not to talk to me when I am standing very still and staring off into space. My 2 year old has found me by the toilet already and asked "Mommy puking again?" If I didn't feel so sick at the time, I would laugh.

Tomorrow is my very first appointment at a new hospital for me. (DH works as an EMT for a local hospital. It's not the one that I delivered both of our other kids at, but my OB left my hospital and I had a hard time decideing who I wanted in that part of my anatomy. So we decided that it would be easiest for DH to come to the appointments if they were at the hospital he works at. Makes the most sense right?) My BBs hurt like you wouldn't believe but I am not as tired as I was with my other two. We have all had losses before and I am sure that we all freak out about the simplest stuff. Right now I could use some positive thoughts. I am worried that another M/C will happen. Although this baby was not planned, it is like a suprise that I never knew I wanted KWIM? Just because I didn't plan on having another one dosen't mean I wouldn't miss this one if a M/C would happen. Sorry for rambleing, but it seems like the closer I get to my appointment, the more worried I get.
