I'm sure there will be those on here who can answer what seems a simple question:

What is the very earliest a woman can be sure she is having twins? Be sure as in being told by the midwife or doctor?

Thanks

An ultrasound scan is the only way confirm that you're pregnant with twins.

The earliest you're likely to find out between 10 weeks and 13 weeks pl days, when you have your dating sc

Ultrasound is almost foolproof at diagnosing twins.

Hmm. That was the answer I got from a google search. The woman in question is saying she's 5 weeks only and it's twins. I wondered how she can be so sure and she told me the scan told her.
I wondered if there was perhaps some new proceedure to give an earlier result.

Those in the know would...er? Know.

Could be an IVF pregnancy with two embryos.
i have no knowledge, just hypothesising

Been there. Got the shirt. Lost the hair. We had confirmation at six weeks via ultra sound. This is not usual but heavy bleeding meant we had the scan to confirm a miscarriage. This turned out not to be the case and a very healthy twin pregnancy went to within three weeks of full term.
