How possible is it?

Question

So I am 15w4d. I've had 3 sonograms so far. We've only seen one baby and only heard one heartbeat. I've lost 12 pounds. My husband's great grandmother swears up and down that I'm loosing weight because there is another twin hiding in there. I'm just curious of its possible to not know at almost 16 weeks

Answer

Why would she think that because your losing weight?? You would think with twins you would be getting bigger faster no? Lol

Answer

With modern technology, it's extremely unlikely that you would be carrying twins and not know it. I'm a little confused about the reasoning behind the theory that losing weight means you're having twins. You would probably be gaining more weight than normal.

Answer

I am 17 weeks with twins And even with being sick in the beginning I have gained (a healthy) 13 lbs. you would have seen baby #2 by nkw

Answer

I know it sounds crazy. I feel stupid for asking lol. But her reasoning is that the "hidden" one is taking the weight that I'm supposed to be gaining. Lol. You know how old people are...

Answer

I'm guessing your probably only carrying one baby if you have had that many ultrasounds. I know there have been cases where people miss a twin but I don't think that's the normal

Answer

I don't think it's HIGHLY unlikely. My younger sister was a twin, but my mother & her doctor didn't catch it until she was 20 weeks. (The twin didn't make it-passed in utero but my sister developed fine)

Answer

I believe it's highly unlikely.
