For women, being able to have twins is such happiness and luck. Under normal circumstances, the probability of women giving birth to twins is not very high. However, twins have certain genetic factors. It is understandable for pregnant women to want to know if they are pregnant with twins as soon as possible. So, when can twins be detected if pregnant?
Women can usually determine whether they are pregnant with twins within 2 months after becoming pregnant. If a woman is pregnant with twins, the clinical manifestations are very obvious. The early pregnancy symptoms are heavier than those of ordinary pregnant mothers, with an enlarged uterus that does not match the gestational month, excessive weight gain, and frequent fetal movements. Excessive dilation of the uterus in late pregnancy can increase the feeling of abdominal heaviness in pregnant mothers. At the same time, elevated diaphragm pressure can cause difficulty breathing in the heart and lungs, and there may be high levels of edema in the lower limbs and perineum.
Women who usually have twins may sometimes have identical twins. In this case, the time required for cell differentiation itself is relatively long, and delaying the examination time appropriately is beneficial for the accuracy of judgment. Twins and singletons can be identified based on the clinical manifestations of the pregnant mother and abdominal examination. In the middle of pregnancy, if the uterus enlarges beyond the corresponding gestational month, the abdomen may touch small limbs or two or more fetal poles in multiple places.
The determination of whether a pregnant woman is carrying a single or twin is usually made after the appearance of the gestational sac. Some women have certain fluctuations in their menstrual cycle and habitual postponements. Therefore, ovulation time may also be relatively delayed. So, for women who have a habit of delaying their menstrual cycle, they can adjust the timing of their ultrasound examination according to their own menstrual delay time.
