Twin movement?

vineyard · Jun 28th, 2009, 23:01 PM

In the past few days I've really started to feel little kicks. However, it seems that I'm feeling 1 move frequently. Occasionally I will feel another. Part of me is concerned? Any others of you feel 1 more than the other?

I do. I seem to get an awful lot of kicks on one side and relatively few on the other.
I was told at my 20 week scan though that if one of the babies is lying with its feet up towards your ribs you won't feel the kicks until they get much stronger.

It is worrying though isn't it as its impossible to tell whether one or both of them are kicking and ok!!

Yeah definitely! Charlotte was far busier than Tom was all the way through. He used to retaliate a lot of the time to her kicking him though LOL!

I could tell who was who because of the way they were lying (Tom was squished in the top right corner and Charlotte spread right out). A lot of my twin Mummy friends said they couldn't tell one from the other though.

Tom was a much more laid back baby than Charlotte (I was convinced she was going to be a boy!) but now he's a toddler you'd have thought he was the crazy one in the womb!

I find it hard to tell which one is moving. As they have a ying and yang thing going on so their limbs are in my middle. How much you can fell can also depend on where the placentas are, Alex's is at the back so I felt his movements more frequently and harder than Dan's because his plancentas at the front.

i have always felt twin one move more than twin 2 right from the beginning. twin 1 is on my right and twin 2 on my left. its only now im feeling twin 2 more because twin 1 is head down and twin 2 is laying accross so i always have her elbows sticking out near my bellybutton and a head and bum either side lol if you are concerned then go to your gp or to the hospital. they do take it seriously, i know as i got to the hospital twice a week to go on the ctg machine and am constantly hearing the midwives saying to other patients "are you the woman with reduced foetal movement" etc and they put them on the monitors to check the heartrate is ok
