At 9 weeks a scan would have shown if you were having twins. Are you sure you are not just eating too much? I had twins and wasn't even showing at 3 months. Some women can hardly look pregnant right up until the 9th month, while others could sit a dinner plate on their tummy. It's doubtful you are having twins, but, you are obviously retaining a great deal of fluid (embryo fluid) and once you've had the baby it won't take that long to get back to somewhat of a normal state. Congratulations!

How come my ultrasound had One heartbeat and one sac can i be having twins?
I am a twin. same with me . could have possibly died
Your ultrasound showed that you are 6 weeks pregnant but you should be 9 could that mean you are having a miscarriage?
An ultrasound at 6 weeks should show a fetal heartbeat, if there was a fetal heartbeat you're not miscarrying.. It's probable you estimated your due date wrong.
Can you tell whether you are having a boy or girl by how strong the heartbeat is?
It is possible but not always accurate. No, the strength of the heartbeat depends which way the baby is laying in the uterus.
What does it mean when the fetal heartbeat isn't heard?
It can be too early to hear it or it doesn´t have one. When having a ultrasound you should ask the doctor these things. That is the best chance to find out why yours isn´t heard.
What are some of the risks involved in having a pregnancy ultrasound done?
The risks of having a pregnancy ultrasound are minimal compared to the benefits. The ultrasound is not an invasive procedure, but can provide a good picture of how the baby is developing.
In which week you know about pregnanca having twince?
It is possible for the doctor to tell when they do the first ultrasound, at about 10 weeks. However, twins can be tricky and some will hide behind the other. In general though, you can tell at about 10 weeks with the first ultrasound.
Can you tell your having triplets at 6 weeks pregnant?
No No Not true. I am living proof, got an ultrasound thinking that I was 8 weeks pregnant to detect a heartbeat, only surprise I was in fact only 6 weeks pregnant with three amniotic sacs with three embryo's meaning triplets. However, I have to wait yet again to detect any heartbeat activity.
How do you know you are having a boy?
The only way to know for sure is by having the ultrasound.
Doctor found yolk sac gestational sac and heartbeat on one twin but the other twin did not show a developed yolk sac or heartbeat Is that okay?
You did not indicate what week you were at in your question. I am at six weeks one day today, and went to my doctor today for an ultrasound. I had one twin with a fetal pole and a heartbeat that was about four times the size of the other one, which had the gestational and yolk sac but no detectable heartbeat. My doc said that there is a possibility that the smaller one will not be viable (that it may have arrested), but that a followup ultrasound in two weeks is necessary to see if there is growth. The ultrasound tech said that she has seen fraternal twins implant at different times, thus resulting in different size sacs and different rates of growth. Assuming you are not far along, I don't think the size itself or lack of a heartbeat is definitive of having lost one of them, and they will probably be able to tell at a repeat U/S. You can also look up the concept of a vanishing twin - it is apparently a common phenomenon. In most instances, it is not harmful to the remaining twin when it occurs early on.
How can YOU know u are having a baby girl?
Ultrasound or amniocentesis.
How soon can you tell you're having twins?
At the first ultrasound
Im having twins and the doctor said only one has a heartbeat I'm scheduled to have a dnc to remove the other twin Is that possible?
Ok, think. If it wasn't possible the doctor couldn't do it. They can even operate on a baby before its born.
