Q&A: I just found out I'm pregnant and think it might be twins.

by Marie O'Sullivan, RN

I recently found out I'm pregnant. I took a home test which showed a distinctly dark blue line. I am showing a lot. How early can a twin pregnancy be detected?

Ultrasound can show a baby's heartbeat at six weeks of pregnancy; it could show two if they were there. Talk to your OB about your concern and maybe he can order an ultrasound for you to check for twins.
