Note that by âlong distance relationships,â I refer to the ones where there is no current possibility or any possibility in the near future that the two people involved will be living in the same area. So, based on my own experience, these are 7 reasons why long distance relationships donât work out:
As mentioned above, there's no guarantee that your twins will arrive early. However, the possibility is higher than with a singleton birth. Some hospitals allow expectant parents to take a tour of the NICU, to get some idea of what may be waiting for them; ask if that's an option.
An ultrasound scan is the only way to confirm that you're pregnant with twins. The earliest you're likely to find out is between 10 weeks and 13 weeks plus six days, when you have your dating scan (NCCWCH 2011, McAslan Fraser 2012). Ultrasound is almost foolproof at diagnosing twins. However, if you're carrying more than two, it gets harder to tell how many babies you're expecting.
