Hi and congratulations on your pregnancy! BP *may* be increased with twins but it's usually later in pregnancy. This early on there's no way to know if it's one or more beyond an u/s. All pregnancies are different but symptoms emerge sooner with each subsequent pregnancy. Your body "remembers" what it's supposed to do and does it earlier. I know with my own twin pregnancy I didn't show until around 12 weeks but it was only my second.
Identical twins are most often a fluke and not usually genetic. Fraternals are genetic if the trait to hyperovulate is the reason behind it. Each kind of twin is usually just a fluke, you'll read here a lot of times "we don't even have twins in our family" because there are so many causes beyond genetics.
Good luck and I hope you come back after your appointment and let us know how many. :-)
Grats on your pregnancy :)
Can't wait to hear back after your U/S!
