A frequent theme on the message forum is speculation about whether a pregnancy could be twins. While moms of multiples are usually happy to share their personal experiences, obviously only a medical caregiver can confirm a twin pregnancy. Still, it is fun to compare signs and symptoms. For example, Babee5 says, "I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have four children already. I was so shocked to find out that I was pregnant but it was very quickly overtaken by the terrible sickness and extreme tiredness. I also look about five months and am looking forward to the scan as I may have my dates wrong. I can't help but feel that this is too different this time and due to other factors such as age etc, I have a nagging suspicion that there is two rumbling about. I wanted to know if you had any mild cramping or back ache which is something I didn't have with any of the others."
