Twin pregnancy question?

Any mom's pregnant with twins? Did you experience this?

This is my second pregnancy, with my son I had no complications, no issues, no bleeding. The only thing that happened was preterm labor that they were able to stop. Now with this pregnancy I have completely opposite symptoms than my son and or about 6 days ago I began having brown discharge/mucus that was occasionally mixed with red blood. I went in and they checked my cervix (Which is closed and my uterus is big) today I got blood drawn so they could check for my hcg level (Which is at 16,475), I have an ultrasound to see what is going on but not until next week. I am only about 10 weeks

So mom's who are pregnant with twins, did you experience anything like this?? (Fraternal twins run on my mom's side of the family so it's very possible to be having twins, just curious because I've seen a lot of stuff about brown discharge or spotting being common in twin pregnancy. But I also know every pregnancy is different so no rude comments. Just looking for experiences.)

I'm pregnant with twins & have not been through this. I haven't bled at all (knock on wood). I just have bad cramping & back pain. Good luck with everything :)

I had this with my twins and i was 17 weeks , it started off light, drs said i had nothinf to worry about that sometimes spotting is normal, then out of nowhere i felt a burst type feeling and started gushing blood, i was rushed to the hospital and found out i had hemoraged inside from what started as a very small tear turned into a 9cm hole within a few days after the light spotting started. Once i started bleeding heavy though i ended up bleeding till i died in less than a half hour, i was brought back and told that in twin pregnancies you cant really do any of the things you can do in a single pregnancy , from the moment you are having twins it can be a high risk. Keep a close eye on your body, at any point things can change from everything is okay to something terrible. Some women carry out twin pregnancies even after having spotting or trouble, some loose just one twin and carry out with the one baby.

Thank you. My worst thought was miscarriage but then they ruled that out. Just hoping the ultrasound gives me the answers I need.
