It’s more common for mums-to-be of twins or more to experience vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy and for the pregnancy to continue. Almost 30 per cent of mums of multiples report vaginal bleeding in their pregnancy compared with up to 20 per cent of mums of a single baby (van Oppenraaij et al 2009).
Q. Do you bleed more during implantation with twins?

Q. Is implantation bleeding heavier with first pregnancy?
Heavier bleeding is not typical with implantation and may indicate a problem. Anyone who experiences heavy bleeding in the first 12 weeks, or first trimester, of pregnancy should speak with their midwife, a doctor, or another healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Q. Do you bleed in early pregnancy with twins?
If you’re pregnant with twins (or another multiple of babies), you might have a greater chance of first trimester bleeding due to causes like implantation bleeding. Miscarriages in the first trimester are also more common when you’re pregnant with more than one baby.
Q. How soon can you get a positive pregnancy test with twins?
It takes about two weeks after conception for hCG levels to be high enough to be detected in urine using a home pregnancy test. In a multiple pregnancy, hCG levels can be higher than in a single pregnancy; plus, positive pregnancy tests can often be indicated sooner than in a single pregnancy.
Q. Do twins feel different in early pregnancy?
Your baby moves in the womb from the beginning, but it’s unlikely you’ll feel anything until your second trimester. Of course, having two or more babies can mean that you’ll feel movement slightly earlier than you would have with only one baby, but this is very unlikely to happen before your second trimester.
Q. Can you be pregnant with twins and have no symptoms?
You could still be having twins even if you don’t have increased pregnancy symptoms. A person who is pregnant with multiples can be completely surprised by the diagnosis if they haven’t experienced anything out of the ordinary.
Q. Can you have a positive pregnancy test in the morning and negative at night?
If you take a pregnancy test at night and it’s negative, you may still want to take another test in the morning or in a few days to help confirm that you’re not actually pregnant. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to a false negative: Taking medications.
