Is it possible to still be having twins after a 9 week ultrasound shows one baby and heartbeat My stomache is really large just 3 months?

The possibility of still having twins after a 9-week ultrasound shows one baby and heartbeat is extremely unlikely. While it is possible for an initial ultrasound to miss the presence of a second fetus early in pregnancy, this is uncommon. If the sonographer conducted a thorough examination during the ultrasound and only observed one gestational sac and one healthy embryo with a normal heartbeat, the chances of there being additional undetected twins are exceptionally low.

The rapid growth of your stomach within just three months could be attributed to several factors, such as your body's natural physiological response to the demands of early pregnancy, including expansion of the uterus, hormonal changes, increased blood volume, and growth of existing adipose tissue due to caloric intake and weight gain.

It is advisable to discuss any concerns about the accuracy of the ultrasound findings with your healthcare provider to clarify your specific situation and ensure appropriate monitoring of your pregnancy.
