2nd Pregnancy - 6 weeks in

So, this is my 2nd pregnancy, im only 6 weeks in but I feel much bigger than with my first. To the point where I swear ive doubled in size in the last week. I had an early ultrasound due to concerns of cramping but all came back normal. 1 yolk sac but obviously because it's still very early they were not able to determine if more than 1 fetus was present.

A.) Normal to feel much bigger with subsequent pregnancies?

B.) Is doubling in size any true indicator of multiples? FYI - my statistical odds are high as both sides of mine and my husbands families have natural multiples and we're both approaching our mid thirties.

Thanks!
